You will build a scalable pipeline with AI-driven outreach, aim for larger, repeatable accounts, and manage end-to-end sales processes with autonomy and accountability.

• Build and manage a pipeline of larger accounts for repeat purchasing and long-term retention.
• Handle inbound and outbound calls with prospective accounts in a high-touch, hands-on role.
• Use AI tools to scale outreach: prospecting, list-building, messaging, follow-up.

About the Role

One Kings Lane is building a dedicated new business development function to grow its highest-value, highest-retention customer segments: the trade and hospitality space. As Business Development Executive, Trade & Hospitality, you will own net-new account acquisition end to end — sourcing, prospecting, pitching, and closing interior designers, design firms, hotels, and hospitality groups.

Success in the first 6–12 months means building a trade and hospitality pipeline from the ground up, establishing repeatable outreach workflows powered by AI tools, and closing larger accounts that drive recurring, project-based revenue.

This is a lean team. You will own a lot, move fast, and make decisions with full end-to-end responsibility.

What You'll Do

• Identify, prospect, and close new B2B accounts in the trade and hospitality space — interior designers, design firms, hotels, and hospitality groups.
• Build and manage your own pipeline of larger accounts with the goal of driving repeat purchasing and long-term retention, not one-time transactions.
• Field inbound and outbound calls directly with prospective trade and hospitality accounts — this is a hands-on, high-touch role.
• Use AI tools to scale and sharpen outreach — prospecting, list-building, messaging, and follow-up — covering more ground as a single-threaded new business function.
• Implement and oversee AI-driven workflows to increase productivity and deal velocity; write clear prompts, validate outputs, and iterate based on results.
• Own funnel metrics and pipeline health; improve CRM discipline, reporting consistency, and forecasting accuracy.
• Build scalable processes for lead routing, opportunity tracking, and follow-up; identify opportunities to shorten sales cycles and increase conversion.
• Coordinate with the inbound/existing-accounts owner to ensure clean handoffs once accounts are established and to keep account strategy aligned.
• Partner with merchandising, operations, and vendor teams to support inventory planning and special orders for trade and design clients.

Required Qualifications

• 5–8 years of B2B sales or business development experience, ideally with exposure to trade, design, hospitality, or a related relationship-driven, high-touch sales environment.
• Proven track record of sourcing and closing net-new accounts — not just managing an existing book of business.
• Comfort working independently and remotely, with the discipline to self-manage a pipeline without day-to-day oversight.
• Familiarity or comfort using AI tools to support prospecting and outreach workflows.
• Strong phone and relationship-building skills; comfortable being the primary point of contact fielding calls directly with prospects.

Why Join

The people who do best here are builders. They take ownership, move fast, and want to see the direct impact of their work.

• Cross-Functional Impact: Your work touches merchandising, operations, vendor teams, and brand strategy — you will shape how One Kings Lane serves its most valuable customer segments.
• AI-First Skill Building: You will integrate AI tools into every stage of the sales process, building modern prospecting and outreach capabilities that accelerate your career.
• End-to-End Ownership: You own the entire net-new pipeline from sourcing to close, and you will help define the commission structure and account strategy as this function grows.
• Competitive Benefits (US): Paid time off policies, 401(k) match, medical/dental/vision and a variety of supplemental policies, and employee discounts across our portfolio of brands.
• Competitive Benefits (Canada): Paid time off policies, RRSP match, medical, dental, and vision coverage, a variety of supplemental benefit options, and employee discounts across our portfolio of brands.
