Showroom Sales Specialist
Job Description
About The Position
If you thrive and excel at providing high-end experiences for clients and working in a creative space, then the Showroom Design Specialist position may be the perfect fit for you. We are looking for a people-person who is motivated by creating experiences to work with clients to design custom jewelry pieces that hold significant value in their lives. This is a client-forward role that primarily involves educating clients on our custom design process through in-person appointments, email inquiries, and virtual showings. We hold high value in our excellent client experience and encourage an educational approach to custom design, as opposed to an intimidating, pushy sales experience. A strong candidate for this role will have strong written and verbal communication skills and is motivated by providing excellent client experiences and working in a team-oriented, fashion-forward atmosphere.
*Please Note* - We are looking for candidates from all professional backgrounds, so no jewelry or design background is required!
