The King Difference

Are you ready to stop waiting for your moment - and start owning it?

This is not just a Showroom Manager role. This is a founding leadership opportunity at King Living's brand new Edmonton showroom - and the person who takes it will set the tone, build the team, and establish the standard that this showroom will be measured against for years to come.

As our opening Showroom Manager in Edmonton, you will take full ownership of bringing this showroom to life - from pre-opening preparation through to day-to-day trading, team building, and delivering the premium King Living customer experience from the very first interaction. You will be the face of the brand in Edmonton, backed by a passionate national team and a globally expanding business that is genuinely excited about this market.

If you are a driven retail leader who loves exceptional design, thrives on building something from the ground up, and wants a role where your impact is visible from day one - Edmonton is where that opportunity lives.

What You Will Own

Sales Performance & Customer Experience

Inspire your team to perform at their best - delivering warm, consultative experiences that build lasting relationships and turn genuine interest into confident purchasing decisions.

Team Leadership & Development

Showroom Opening & Operational Standards

Lead the preparation and launch of the Edmonton showroom - and keep it running seamlessly once open, managing rosters, maintaining operational standards, and ensuring every corner reflects the design leadership and quality King Living is known for.

Who You Are

You will likely come from a premium retail, furniture, interiors or lifestyle brand background - ideally with experience opening or launching a new retail location is a genuine advantage. What matters most is your commercial instinct, your ability to build a team from scratch, and the standards you hold yourself and your team to.

You are a retail leader who takes pride in your team, your showroom and your results - and you are ready for an environment that gives you the opportunity to build something genuinely your own.

• Proven experience in a Showroom Manager or senior retail leadership role within a premium or luxury environment
• Customer-obsessed - you build trust, inspire confidence, and create experiences customers remember
• Strong mentoring and coaching leadership style with the ability to recruit, onboard and build a cohesive team
• Commercially aware with the ability to manage budgets, drive targets and understand showroom performance
• High attention to detail with strong problem-solving, negotiation and communication skills
• Flexible and adaptable - available to work one weekend day as part of your regular roster
