Sales Manager - Interior Design 100%

About the job

You lead. You sell. You develop the market.

Since 1899, the cooperative HG COMMERCIALE (HGC) with its approximately 850 employees today has been one of the most important service providers in the Swiss construction industry. The mix makes the difference: We value the experience of our long-standing HGC professionals from various professions as much as young talents, whom we promote internally and externally. Our culture is open, fair, and honest and down-to-earth in the best sense. We rely on mutual trust. Each individual should take responsibility and contribute ideas because we want to move forward together and shape the future of the construction industry.

Your area of responsibility

As part of a succession solution, we are looking for a sales-strong leader for the Central region (Greater Bern area) who will strategically further develop the interior design sector and sustainably align it for growth. You bear the overall entrepreneurial responsibility for interior design in the Central region and consistently develop the product ranges of ceramic tiles, parquet, and floor coverings. Your focus is on active market cultivation, expanding existing customer relationships, and targeted acquisition of new projects in project business. You lead your sales and exhibition team with clear goals, high presence, and measurable demands. In doing so, you combine strategic thinking with operational implementation, ensure professional project, offer, and condition management, and drive sustainable increases in sales and profit. As part of the Swiss Interior Design management team, you actively shape the further development of the sector and decisively implement growth initiatives.

Your profile

You are a sales-strong leader with an entrepreneurial mindset and proven success in B2B sales. You know how to lead people, develop markets, and turn potential into measurable results. Ideally, you bring experience or a strong affinity for interior design, especially ceramic tiles, parquet, or floor coverings.

You know the decision-making and influence mechanisms in project business and understand how projects are successfully positioned and implemented from planning to execution. You act independently, are present in the market, and convince with clarity, closing strength, and willingness to implement. You communicate confidently in German and navigate confidently in the digital work environment.

We offer you an entrepreneurial leadership role with real scope for design and clear result responsibility. You take over a strategically important region with substantial growth opportunities and operate in an environment with short decision-making paths and high independence. Performance, initiative, and impact count – and are rewarded accordingly.
