About Cubitts
Cubitts is an independent spectacle maker, founded in King’s Cross, London, in 2013.
We’re fascinated by the intersection of design, engineering and the human face. By materials, proportion, construction and the small details that make an object exceptional. We believe good design should be accessible, that things should be made to last, and that repair is always preferable to replacement.
But Cubitts is about more than spectacles. Our world draws on architecture, art, history, science, craftsmanship and the peculiarities of everyday life. We take inspiration from unexpected places, celebrate individuality and believe there’s always room for a little irreverence.
We’re serious about what we make. Less serious about ourselves.
Today, Cubitts has stores across the UK and New York, alongside our workshops, made-to-measure and bespoke services, and online at cubitts.com.
What you will do
- Manage end-to-end daily operations, including rotas, cash handling, and store processes, while confidently leading the shop floor in the Store Manager’s absence.

- Coach and develop retail associates through regular feedback, fostering an inclusive team environment that consistently delivers high NPS and mystery shop results.
Who this is a fit for

- Highly organized operational mindset with a sharp eye for detail, from managing complex stock systems to performing precise frame adjustments for clients.
- Ambitious professional with excellent communication skills who is eager to act as a brand ambassador and grow alongside Cubitts’ European expansion.
Why this role is remarkable
- Lead the launch of Cubitts’ first-ever store in mainland Europe, setting the brand standard for international expansion in a historic 1890s red-brick building.
- Join a disruptive industry leader that has been reinventing the optical experience since 2013, moving away from dull clinics to creative, maker-focused workshops.
