You’ll thrive by blending creative collaboration with strategic sales outreach to turn ideas into beautiful spaces and business growth.

Primary Responsibilities

• Actively generate new business opportunities through targeted outreach, leveraging cold calls, emails, and inbound inquiries.

• Collaborate with interior designers, architects, and clients to understand and translate their vision into unique, personalized design solutions.
• Build and maintain meaningful relationships within the design community to foster recurring business and strategic partnerships.
• Manage the entire sales process, from creating tailored quotes and processing orders to ensuring seamless execution and delivery.
• Coordinate cross-functionally with Operations and Marketing to ensure cohesive client experiences and optimized project outcomes.

Typical Day

Each day brings something new. A typical outline might include:

• Nurture & Deliver (40 to 50%): Respond to inbound requests, send quotes and invoices, follow up on orders, and coordinate deliveries while maintaining strong client relationships.
• Strategic Outreach (20 to 30%): Outbound outreach to Montreal-based designers, crafting thoughtful messages, scheduling discovery calls, and building long-term partnerships.
• Client Collaboration (10 to 20%): Meetings with architectural firms to understand needs and coordinate tailored design recommendations.
• Creative Exploration (10 to 20%): Curating moodboards or assembling a custom artwork selection to help clients visualize how Opposite Wall can elevate their space.

Ideal Profile

• Passionate about design, interior aesthetics, and creating beautiful spaces.
• Fluent in French and English (spoken and written).
• Strong sales acumen with proven ability to build pipelines, close deals, and maintain ongoing relationships.
• Experience working with interior designers, architects, or design-driven brands is a strong asset.
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple client relationships simultaneously.
• Strong communicator, both visually and verbally, with the ability to inspire trust and enthusiasm.
• Entrepreneurial mindset; thrives in a creative, fast-moving environment.

Nice to Have

• 1+ years of sales experience in design, architecture, or related creative industries.
• Experience with interior designers or architectural firms.
• Familiarity with e-commerce platforms, particularly Shopify.
• CRM experience (preferably Pipedrive).
• Comfort in startup environments with evolving roles.
