About Ernesta

Ernesta is on a mission to bring gorgeous, design-focused custom rugs to homes and places of gathering through an enjoyable, frictionless, and affordable experience. At the same price as a store-bought standard-sized rug, a custom-cut rug from Ernesta will not only be a better fit, but also a better buying experience. We believe that high-quality custom design shouldn’t be out of reach for consumers and aim to address this need in the multi-billion dollar global rug industry.

• Advise customers on floor‑plan layout, material selection, and custom rug measurements.
• Respond to inquiries and resolve order‑related matters such as tracking, product questions, and delivery logistics.
• Surprise and delight customers, exceed expectations, and create memorable experiences.
• Learn innovative technologies (CAD modeling, Adobe, 3D rendering, etc.) to visualize space.
• Maintain feedback loops to improve internal processes.

Qualifications Include

• 2+ years in a consumer‑facing role with direct sales/account management experience.
• Passionate about interior design and home décor; up to date on current trends.
• Excellent communication, building trust, self‑motivated, curious, empathetic, great listener.
• Solutions‑oriented with sound judgment, business sense, high integrity.
• Proficiency with online tools: 2D/3D, Zoom, Google Suite, etc.
• Strong time‑management, organizational skills and accountability.
• Ability to establish and improve processes; excited about feedback loops.
• Flexible schedule including weekends and holidays.

Nice to Have

• Experience with design tools and spatial planning.
• Bachelor’s degree or experience in interior design, art history, architecture, or related creative field.
