Job Description

We’re recruiting for a unique opportunity with a globally recognised luxury interiors brand, looking to appoint a commercially minded, relationship-led individual to grow partnerships across London’s high-end interior design community. This is not a traditional field sales role. The business is looking for someone who genuinely understands the luxury residential design world and can build meaningful relationships with independent interior design studios, specifiers and design influencers working on one-off, design-led projects. If you naturally move well in the design space, enjoy connecting with studios and influencing product choice at concept stage, this could be a brilliant opportunity. Brand-new role with real autonomy. Globally recognised interiors manufacturer with international presence. Focus on high-end residential and luxury design projects. Opportunity to shape and grow a key London A&D channel. Guaranteed earnings in Year 1.

Job Responsibility

  • Build relationships with London-based interior designers, boutique design studios and specifiers
  • Help position the brand as a go-to partner on luxury residential projects
  • Build and develop relationships with high-end independent interior design studios
  • Introduce the brand to designers, specifiers and project influencers
  • Generate opportunities for specification across luxury residential projects
  • Conduct meetings, showroom visits, presentations and design consultations
  • Stay close to projects from concept through to completion
  • Build long-term relationships that lead to repeat specification and revenue
  • Attend relevant networking events, exhibitions and design-led industry events
  • Gather market insight around studios, projects, trends and opportunities
  • Work closely with internal teams to ensure smooth delivery and follow-through

Requirements

  • Luxury interiors
  • Interior design product sales
  • Design partnerships
  • High-end furniture / lighting / surfaces / finishes / kitchens / bathrooms
  • Working directly with boutique interior design studios
  • A design-led consultancy or studio-facing commercial role
  • Understand how high-end residential design projects come together
  • Have experience building relationships with interior designers and design studios
  • Are confident having commercially focused conversations in a design-led environment
  • Can naturally win trust and influence product decisions early in a project
  • Are polished, credible and relationship-driven
  • Enjoy networking and building long-term partnerships

What we offer

  • Guaranteed earnings in Year 1
  • Uncapped commission
  • Autonomy
