Head of Sales & Showroom (100%)

About the job

Designer Furniture & Interiors | Zurich | Immediate start or by arrangement

Create. Sell. Lead.

Since 1931, wohnbedarf has stood for timeless design and pioneering interior concepts. In our showroom on Talstrasse, we advise private customers, architectural firms and companies. This ranges from individual design classics to furnishing entire apartments and offices.

For Zurich, we are looking for a personality who leads a small, experienced team, sells personally on the front line and advances the location.

In the thick of it, not just on the sidelines

You are personally present in the showroom and advise our customers face to face. At the same time, you accompany projects with architects and companies from planning to completion. You lead your team from the day-to-day business, not from the office.

Your team

You lead three sales consultants and one person in internal sales.

Your tasks

You lead, coach and develop your team, including deployment planning and target agreements. You bear the sales and budget responsibility for the Zurich location. You actively sell in the showroom and manage your own customer projects from consultation to completion. You specifically address architectural firms, interior architects and companies and expand your network. You shape the exhibition, the range and the presence of the showroom. You ensure that every customer has a first-class experience.

Your profile

Several years of experience in selling high-quality, consultation-intensive products, such as designer furniture, interiors, kitchens, lighting or interior fittings. Experience in projects with architects or planners as well as independently preparing quotations. Leadership experience, for example as a team leader or deputy. Style confidence and a solid understanding of materials, workmanship and space. Very good German and good English.

Advantageous

Training in interior architecture, architecture, spatial design or interior fittings. Knowledge of pCon or similar planning tools. An existing network in the Zurich architecture and design scene.

Working hours
Our showroom is open six days a week, with Friday and Saturday as the most important sales days. You plan your shifts together with the team.

We offer

An attractive fixed salary plus a commission and bonus model. 5 weeks holiday. A generous staff discount on our entire range. Regular product training by our manufacturers such as Cassina, Vitra, USM, Knoll and B&B Italia. Visits to international trade fairs such as the Salone del Mobile in Milan. Genuine creative freedom and short decision-making paths. A company with 95 years of design history.
