  • Ongoing mentorship and hands-on learning with the sales team
  • Clear development milestones toward taking on more responsibility

Career path:
If it’s a strong fit on both sides, this role can evolve in multiple directions based on your strengths and interests. You’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Grow into a full-time, commissioned sales role, or
  • Continue building a career in sales support/operations, or
  • Explore other roles within the company as we grow

We value long-term team members and aim to create paths that align with both individual goals and company needs.

  • Comfortable with Google Sheets/Excel and willing to learn CRM systems

Preferred

  • Interest in furniture, interiors, woodworking, or building products
  • Any exposure to sales tools or CRM systems is a plus

What we offer
