Job description

Be there from day one. Set the standard. Build something worth leading.

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

You set the tone from day one. Through daily briefings, hands-on coaching and genuine investment in your team's growth, you will build a culture where people are motivated, knowledgeable and proud of where they work.

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 leading a high-performing team in a showroom or flagship store environment. 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.
