Always adjusting, rebuilding, reorganizing, or catching the important detail everyone else missed? Good. We’re looking for that person. The Showroom Manager is equal parts craftsperson, visual merchandiser, and project coordinator. Reporting to the Creative Director, this role turns creative direction into physical reality across Accent Decor’s Atlanta, Las Vegas, and High Point showrooms. Customer experience and brand consistency will always be top of mind for this role. This is not a desk-only role. You will move fixtures, build displays, style product, install plants, solve problems, coordinate logistics, lead setups, and keep every detail moving toward market readiness. One minute you may be refining a vignette, the next you may be fixing a wall display, tracking a shipment, or redirecting a setup team. The right person has a sharp visual eye, practical skills, strong instincts, and zero hesitation about jumping in. You care how a space looks, how it functions, and how it gets finished. You know the difference between done and done right. In return for your time and talents, we’ll provide a values-driven culture, where team members do the right thing, pursue originality, embrace and drive change, respect every person, give generously, build community through empathy, and infuse passion in all we do. The salary range for this role is $65,000-$75,000 per year. We offer comprehensive benefits including paid volunteer leave to support you as you give back to the community. At Accent Decor, we don't just accept difference - we celebrate it, support it, and thrive on it for the benefit of our team members, our products, and our community.
