Job Description

Position Overview

Dumanski Office Interiors and Compass Imaging & Sign Solutions are looking for a consultative sales professional to grow and support our workplace, furniture, window covering, imaging, display, audiovisual, and technology-related business.

This is an important succession role within our sales team. The Account Executive will support long-standing customer relationships, develop new opportunities, and expand accounts across multiple areas of the business.

The ideal candidate can do more than quote products. They can understand a customer's space and operational needs, ask strong discovery questions, read basic drawings, coordinate internal resources, and develop well-structured solutions.

Responsibilities

• Manage and grow assigned customer accounts across DOI and Compass.
• Build trusted relationships with existing and prospective clients.
• Identify cross-selling opportunities involving contract furniture, window coverings, workplace solutions, imaging, audiovisual systems, displays, digital signage, and technology-related services.
• Conduct discovery to understand client needs, budgets, timelines, stakeholders, and operational goals.
• Consult with customers on furniture, workplace products, window coverings, finishes, layouts, and related solutions.
• Read and interpret basic floor plans, furniture layouts, elevations, and construction drawings for space-planning and project purposes.
• Work with designers, estimators, project coordinators, vendors, installers, and technical specialists to develop complete solutions.
• Attend client locations, active construction sites, and installation sites as required, confirm requirements, and support project coordination.
• Prepare and follow up on quotes, proposals, presentations, and project opportunities.
• Maintain accurate sales activity, pipeline, notes, drawings, and follow-up records using company systems.
• Remain engaged throughout the project lifecycle, from initial discovery through delivery, installation, and customer follow-up.
• Stay current on products, workplace trends, vendor programs, and emerging technology opportunities.
• Represent the company professionally in client meetings, site visits, vendor discussions, and business-development activities.

Ideal Candidate

You are an organized, curious, and commercially aware relationship builder who is comfortable working across multiple product and service categories.

You can assess a customer's workplace, understand how the space is being used, review basic drawings, and identify opportunities to improve functionality, appearance, privacy, light control, collaboration, and technology.

You do not need to be a designer, architect, audiovisual engineer, or IT specialist. However, you must recognize when specialized expertise is required and involve the right internal resources.

Qualifications

• Experience in B2B sales and account management. Contract furniture, window coverings, workplace solutions, commercial interiors, construction products, imaging, audiovisual systems, technology, or a related field is a plus.
• Strong communication, discovery, presentation, and follow-up skills.
• Ability to read and interpret basic architectural drawings, floor plans, and furniture layouts.
• General understanding of space planning, furniture placement, and workplace functionality.
• Ability to manage multiple accounts, projects, quotations, and deadlines.
• Strong organizational skills, technology literacy, and attention to detail.
• Ability to work collaboratively with clients, designers, contractors, installers, vendors, and internal teams.
• Valid driver's licence and ability to attend client and construction sites as required.
• Willingness to comply with site safety requirements and use required personal protective equipment.

What Success Looks Like

• Existing customers feel supported through the transition.
• Account activity and opportunities are visible, documented, and consistently followed up.
• Furniture and workplace opportunities expand into window covering, imaging, audiovisual, and technology conversations.
• Customers receive coordinated solutions that reflect their space, budget, timeline, and operational needs.
• The Account Executive builds a healthy pipeline of new and existing account opportunities.
• Clients experience DOI and Compass as one coordinated solutions provider.

Compensation

Compensation will be based on experience and may include a base salary, commission or incentive structure, benefits, and performance-based growth opportunities.
