Role
This full time role is suitable for someone looking to build and establish their career with a high-end brand in the interior design industry.
Reporting to the Director, the Sales & Design Consultant will help service the industry’s Tier 1 leading interior designers, architects and stylists as well as their high end retail clientele.

This is a consultative, service-led role in a beautifully presented environment, working across a predominantly trade customer base of interior designers and architects, along with a smaller retail segment.
