Team Manager - Sydney

About the role

Louis Vuitton has spent more than 170 years building a global luxury world where craftsmanship, heritage, and ambition work together. As part of the LVMH Group and present in 60 countries, the Maison is looking for leaders who understand that representing the brand means upholding a very high standard every day.

This opportunity is for an experienced retail leader who has already spent years developing teams, improving business performance, and driving revenue. The role calls for someone who is comfortable leading in a fast-moving, high-pressure luxury environment and who can create impact from the first day on the job.

Role overview

Louis Vuitton is hiring Team Managers for the Sydney market. The position suits a leader who can coach a new Client Advisor and also challenge a Senior Client Advisor managing a client portfolio worth more than $5 million annually. Leadership here is expected to be practical, consistent, and closely tied to people development, client experience, and commercial results.

The business operates at a level of complexity and pace that demands resilience, sharp judgment, and calm under pressure. Successful managers will be confident working on the floor, reading the business in real time, and setting a high standard for the team around them.

What you will do

• Strengthen commercial performance by understanding and influencing daily and weekly business results.
• Lead a mixed team ranging from early-career Client Advisors to highly experienced client relationship specialists.
• Build a structured coaching environment focused on measurable development and real outcomes.
• Protect and elevate the client experience that the Louis Vuitton name is known for, while supporting long-term client relationships.
• Work with store leadership on team culture, succession planning, and sustainable business growth.

What the role asks of you

The ideal candidate is a proven, mature retail leader rather than someone still shaping their leadership style. Around five years of leadership experience at Store Manager or Department Manager level in premium or luxury retail is preferred, or equivalent responsibility at Area Manager level.

You should be highly comfortable with numbers, able to explain how you grow business, retain clients, and develop people, and bring the composure needed to perform well in demanding conditions. This role is best suited to someone who is ambitious about progressing toward a Store Manager career path.
