OtherProduct Development

Ana Luisa is a Brooklyn-based jewelry brand built on a clear-cut idea: how we make our pieces matters as much as why people wear them. We design, craft, and deliver exceptional everyday jewelry for everyone — priced fairly, produced ethically, and made to create a positive impact for both people and the planet.

Now we're looking for a Product Development Specialist to join our Sourcing team and help shape what we make next.

About the job
This is a pivotal, hands-on role driving the development of our upcoming product ranges — with a particular focus on solid gold and fashion jewelry. You'll work directly with vendors to make sure every piece meets the standards of quality, sustainability, and design Ana Luisa is known for, taking products from concept all the way through to production.

It's a great fit for someone scrappy and entrepreneurial who likes to own their work end-to-end. This is a highly visible role with significant cross-functional collaboration across the company — including working directly with our founders. You'll report to the Director of PD and Production.
