As we continue to build...
We're seeking curious, growth minded thinkers to help shape our vision, structures and systems; playing a key-role as we launch into our ambitious future. If you're invigorated by our mission, values, and drive to change the world - we'd love to have you apply.
About the Role
As we expand branded luxury jewelry as a key category, we're looking for a domain expert to help scale and strengthen our authentication capabilities globally, with a focus on North America.
We already have an established foundation in APAC, and this role will be critical in building depth, consistency, and regional expertise in North America, while partnering closely with the existing team. You will focus exclusively on high-end, branded jewelry (e.g., Cartier, Tiffany, Van Cleef & Arpels, etc.), bringing deep expertise in brand-specific construction, hallmarks, and authentication nuances.
In parallel, you will support the continued expansion of luxury apparel expertise in North America, ensuring alignment and quality across categories.
If you are passionate about luxury craftsmanship, brand heritage, and scaling expertise across regions, this is a unique opportunity to play a pivotal role in a growing category.
Reports to Manager, Apparel
Location: US
Employment Type: Remote
What you'll do:
  • Scale and enhance branded jewelry authentication capabilities in partnership with the APAC team
  • Authenticate high-value branded jewelry pieces, contributing to critical, high-risk evaluations
  • Build and refine structured knowledge systems (brand-level taxonomies, hallmark libraries, construction guides)
  • Develop and localize training programs and certification materials for global teams
  • Research luxury jewelry brands, collections, and brand-specific identifiers to deepen category expertise
  • Support the expansion of luxury apparel expertise in North America, ensuring consistency in authentication quality
  • Coach and mentor team members to foster a high-precision, knowledge-first culture

What you bring:
  • 3 to 5+ years of experience in branded luxury jewelry authentication, resale, or appraisal
  • Deep expertise in brand-specific hallmarks, engravings, construction techniques, and identifiers (e.g., Cartier, Tiffany, Van Cleef & Arpels, Bulgari, etc.)
  • Strong understanding of luxury jewelry brand portfolios, collections, and market positioning
  • Experience building training materials, playbooks, or structured knowledge systems
  • Exceptional attention to detail and ability to make high-stakes authentication decisions
  • Strong communication skills - able to codify expert judgment into scalable processes
  • Highly organized, proactive, and comfortable working cross-functionally in a global environment
  • Passion for authenticity, craftsmanship, and scaling expertise in luxury categories

The starting salary for this role is between $55,000 - $70,000, depending on skills and experience. We have competitive pay bands for all other countries based on market standards. Individual compensation decisions are based on several factors, including experience level, skill set, and balancing internal equity relative to peers at the company. Based on these factors, we expect most of the candidates offered roles at our company to fall within the range. We recognize that the person we hire may be less experienced (or more senior) than the requirements stated in this job description, as posted. If so, the updated salary range will be communicated to you as a candidate.
Entrupy embraces a diversity of backgrounds and experiences and provides equal opportunity for all applicants and employees. We are dedicated to building a company that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. We believe that the more inclusive we are, the better our work (and work environment) will be for everyone.
