WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

You might be a great fit if you are:

• Design obsessed. You notice fabrics, furniture, finishes and details other people walk right past.
• Personable. You can comfortably start a conversation, build rapport and make clients feel welcome.

• Proactive. You see what needs to be done and get moving.
• Tech savvy. You can learn new software and aren't intimidated by computers, POS systems or design technology.
• Flexible. Some days you'll be selling a sofa; other days you'll be helping pull samples for an entire home.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Previous retail, sales, customer service or interior design experience preferred.
• Interior design education or experience is a plus, but not required for the right candidate.
• Strong communication and relationship building skills.
• Comfortable working toward sales goals.
• Ability to learn product lines and confidently explain their features and benefits.
• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.

WHY VILLAGE INTERIORS?

This isn't traditional retail.  You'll have the opportunity to sell, learn, create and grow alongside experienced interior designers while working with beautiful products and real client projects.

If you love interiors, enjoy people and get a little thrill out of turning “I'm just looking” into “I'll take it,” we'd love to meet you.
