Be the Customer’s Trusted Advisor: Greet, listen, and learn. You’ll lead design consultations that feel more like conversations, getting to know your customer’s style, needs, and how they really live. Whether it’s a growing family, a new pet, or a dream remodel, you’ll help it all come together beautifully.

(Bonus points if you’ve dabbled in tools like SketchUp, DesignFiles, Floorplanner, Icovia, or a similar tool!) Always Be Designing (and Selling): Every interaction is a chance to build trust and drive results. You’ll grow sales by turning design dreams into shoppable plans—and guiding customers every step of the way. Multitask with Purpose: Balance design appointments, sales floor chats, team collabs—you’ll handle it all with a positive attitude and a flexible mindset. Be a Team Player: Pitch in on floor sets, help with replenishment, and share your best design hacks with the team. We grow together here. Drive Sales with Style: Every interaction is an opportunity to build trust, grow your pipeline, and close the loop on beautiful, functional spaces.
