Joining the company at a transformational time, you will lead Finance for Jewelry Services as the strategic and operational co-pilot to the President of Jewelry Services. The VP will own financial strategy, network economics, and profitability transformation across the Services portfolio — driving revenue growth, margin expansion, and execution excellence throughout the repair, warranty, custom and refurbishment network.

The Jewelry Services portfolio spans jewelry and watch repair, warranty services, appraisals, ESA sales and servicing, custom jewelry, vertical integration of assembled jewelry, and refurbishment of owned jewelry. The network includes 200+ Design and Service Centers, five central repair facilities (including Canada), the Custom Operations Center, and HQ Diamond Room operations.

This is not a reporting role. This leader will shape decisions, challenge assumptions, and convert strategy into financial and operational outcomes as a member of the Jewelry Services Senior Leadership Team.

An inspiring leader, you will model Signet values, leading and mentoring a high performing team — including the Director of Jewelry Services FP&A and the JS Data Analyst — to drive innovative service strategies and set the course for extended and sustainable growth with our brands and across Signet.
