Studio Manager at Love Weld – New Orleans, Louisiana

Loveweld is a permanent jewelry brand built on connection. We create appointment-driven experiences that celebrate people and moments — welded to last.

We are looking for a Studio Manager to lead one of our studios with ownership, clarity, and care.

This is a leadership role for someone who believes that details matter, culture matters, and the way a team shows up for people matters.

Our leadership is rooted in four core values:

Celebration

Integrity

Communicating clearly, giving thoughtful feedback, and making decisions that earn trust.

Innovation

Approaching challenges with curiosity and a willingness to improve how we operate.

Community

Creating safe, inclusive spaces where people feel connected and supported.

The Role

As the Studio Manager, you are responsible for the performance, culture, and daily operations of your studio.

You lead your team while actively participating in the work — welcoming clients, guiding selections, ensuring proper fit, and completing permanent jewelry welds.

You set the standard for how the studio runs and how the team shows up for customers.

This role owns:

• Studio sales performance and growth

• Inventory integrity and operational accuracy

• Cost management and responsible budgeting
