Join Tylko, Where Design Meets Technology
Founded in Warsaw, Poland, in 2015, Tylko is redefining how we design, shop for, and experience furniture. Frustrated by mass-produced, one-size-fits-all solutions, the team created something smarter: bespoke storage that balances cutting-edge technology, premium craftsmanship, and sustainable production.
With millimetre-perfect precision, every piece is made-to-order and crafted locally, minimising waste and maximising longevity. The result? A new standard in furniture – one that fits your space, your style, and your life.
Why It Matters
We’re not just building furniture. We’re changing how people think about living with it. By merging technology and design, we help people create spaces that truly reflect who they are. If you believe that good design can make everyday life better, you’ll feel right at home here.
How We Work
We believe in small teams, big ideas and simple processes. No silos, no endless paperwork - just open communication, shared goals and a healthy dose of curiosity. We start small, think big and move fast, because progress beats perfection.
Collaboration and trust aren’t buzzwords at Tylko - they’re how we work. From day one, you’ll make real decisions, turn ideas into action and shape the space around you - in our case, quite literally. Learning isn’t a bonus here, it’s part of the job.
AI is part of how we work, in our stores too. We use it like any other tool worth knowing: to plan, onboard our teams and learn from our customers. You don’t need to be an AI expert on day one - what matters is the curiosity to rethink how things get done, for yourself and your team.
Store Manager - Paris
About the Role
We’re opening our first physical store in France - in the heart of Paris.
French customers already know Tylko online. Now we’re giving them a place to see, touch and experience our furniture in person. Our retail model is already proven in Berlin - your job is to make it work in Paris.
As Store Manager, you’ll lead the opening, build the first team and be hands-on in the day-to-day, setting the tone for everyone around you. The goal? A store that design lovers want to come back to - and the next step in Tylko’s growth in France.
What You’ll Do
You’ll take ownership, make things happen, and see your impact. Specifically, you will:
- Lead the store opening and set up daily operations using the processes and tools from our Berlin flagship
- Recruit, onboard and inspire a team of Design Advisors and set the standards from day one
- Adapt our retail model to the French market - customer expectations, local regulations and ways of working
- Own the store’s performance: foot traffic, conversion, customer satisfaction and sales
- Manage day-to-day operations, including team scheduling, stock and store budget
- Deliver an outstanding customer experience that blends design advice, service excellence and brand storytelling
- Build Tylko’s local presence in Paris through events, collaborations and partnerships
- Make sure the store reflects Tylko’s brand standards in visual merchandising, service and atmosphere
- Work closely with our e-commerce team to connect the online and in-store experience for French customers
- Share local market insights with HQ in Warsaw and help shape Tylko’s growth in France
What we offer for this particular role
- The chance to open Tylko’s first store in France and shape our presence in a new market
- Onboarding with our Berlin retail team and HQ in Warsaw
- Competitive salary with a performance-based bonus
- Employee discount on Tylko products
- Training, development and close collaboration with HQ teams
- Opportunity to grow with a fast-scaling European design brand
What we’re looking for
- 4+ years of experience in retail management, including leading a team, ideally in design, lifestyle or premium consumer brands
- A hands-on leader who motivates by example and coaches the team to grow
- Excellent communication in French and English - approachable, confident and able to quickly build trust with customers
- Strong understanding of the French retail market and customer expectations
- Results-driven mindset and confidence working with KPIs and performance data
- Experienced with retail tech (POS, CRM, scheduling tools) and curious about using AI to work smarter
- Able to work with established processes while spotting what needs to change locally
- A passion for design, interiors and creating inspiring customer experiences
- Flexibility to work weekends and evenings, as required in retail
Nice to have
- Experience opening a new store or launching a brand in a new location
- Knowledge of French labour regulations in retail (scheduling, working hours, weekend work)
