Role Summary

• This is a field-first, hunter role for someone who thrives on winning new business, not managing from behind a desk.

• Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, referral partners, and industry stakeholders

• Track pipeline and sales activity, and report on progress against targets
• Lay the foundation for a future sales team, including process and structure, as the business scales

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Marketing, or a related field

• 5-10 years’ experience in sales, business development, or a related field

• Demonstrated passion for sales and a proven track record of winning and closing business

• Self-starter who can operate independently and take ownership of results

• Strong relationship-building, negotiation, and communication skills

• Comfortable with a field-based, target-driven role

• Experience in furniture, interiors, construction, or building materials is an added advantage, but not required.
