CAREERS
ESQUELETO features a thoughtfully edited selection of handcrafted fine jewelry, artwork, and objects, presented in our casual, light-filled boutiques. We are committed to ethical sourcing, sustainable practices, and supporting talented independent designers and makers. Selling here is rarely transactional; it's a conversation about a stone, a maker, or the person a piece is meant for. Working under the Store Manager, the Sales Associate drives sales in our stores through real product knowledge, careful follow-through, and relationships that bring clients back.
If this sounds like the team you want to be part of, we'd love to hear from you. Send your resume and a brief note about your interest to admin@shopesqueleto.com with "Sales Associate" in the subject line. No phone calls, please.
