BUILD THE NEXT GREAT LUXURY JEWELRY HOUSE

Mark Henry is a New York fine jewelry brand specializing in rare natural gemstones and modern heirlooms. We work with some of the world's most extraordinary stones—from natural alexandrite and Paraíba tourmaline to Kashmir sapphires—and turn them into timeless pieces meant to be collected for generations. We're not a heritage house, and we're not trying to look like one.

We're building a modern luxury brand from the ground up. Founder-led, entrepreneurial, and still early enough that the right person can have a real impact on where we go. We want Mark Henry to feel like the brand people discover before everyone else does. Every campaign, photoshoot, email, product launch, and retail experience should reinforce that feeling. If building something from scratch excites you more than maintaining an established brand, we'd love to meet you.

The Role
This isn't a traditional Art Director position.

We're looking for someone who's just as comfortable developing the creative direction for a campaign as they are jumping into Photoshop, styling jewelry, uploading assets to Shopify, or putting together a last-minute sales presentation.

You'll work directly with our founder and leadership team to shape how the brand shows up everywhere our customers experience it.

What You'll Do

Lead creative direction for campaigns, launches and seasonal storytelling

Direct product and lifestyle photography, video shoots and styling

Build mood boards, creative briefs and launch presentations

Produce assets for paid media, email, social and ecommerce

Design retail marketing materials, event collateral and sales presentations

Manage photography, retouching and image production

Merchandise products across Shopify and digital channels

Partner with photographers, videographers and freelance creatives

Support retail partners and our wholesale team with launch assets and marketing materials

Use AI tools where they improve speed and creativity without sacrificing quality

Most importantly, you'll become an expert on our products. You'll learn our gemstones, understand our collections, and work closely with our sales team so the creative reflects real product knowledge—not just beautiful imagery.

Who You Are

You have exceptional taste and strong creative instincts.

You're hands-on and enjoy executing, not just directing.\

You can move between big-picture thinking and day-to-day production.

You're organized, resourceful and commercially minded.

You care about details and understand that luxury is built through consistency.

You want to help build a brand and not simply work for one.

What We're Looking For

Outstanding portfolio

Strong creative direction experience

Advanced Photoshop and Adobe Creative Suite skills

Experience leading photography and campaign production

Strong understanding of branding, visual merchandising and storytelling

Excellent communication and project management

Experience with Shopify, Klaviyo, Figma or motion/video is a plus

Luxury, fashion, beauty or jewelry experience preferred
