Senior Designer (Freelance) 3 months

About the role

Since 2015, Mejuri has reimagined what fine jewelry can be in a modern world-shifting it from a traditional gift to to a personal choice rooted in self-expression.

Founded by third-generation jeweller Noura Sakkijha, the brand was built on a simple idea: fine jewelry shouldn't require a special occasion, and it should never come with guilt. It's about celebrating yourself-your style, your life, your everyday.

Mejuri meets customers where they are-online, in app, and through a growing global retail footprint of 58+ stores worldwide. Mejuri is also deeply committed to doing things the right way, with responsible sourcing, sustainable practices, and philanthropic initiatives that reflect our values and long-term vision.
