Job description

Concrete Collaborative | Oceanside, CA | Full-Time, On-Site

About Concrete Collaborative

Concrete Collaborative is a design-driven manufacturer of architectural concrete and terrazzo, creating distinctive materials for residential, hospitality, and commercial projects nationwide.

Our Oceanside headquarters brings together our design showroom, material collections, and operations team. We work closely with architects, interior designers, builders, and homeowners to bring creative projects to life.

About the Role

We’re looking for an outgoing, organized, and motivated Showroom & Inside Sales Associate to join our Oceanside team.

This is a dynamic, client-facing sales role that combines in-person showroom experiences with virtual sales, project coordination, and support for our national sales team.

You’ll be a key point of contact for clients, helping them explore our materials, navigate product selections, obtain pricing, and move their projects forward. From the first conversation to the final order, you’ll play an active role in building relationships, following up on opportunities, and helping close sales.

We’re looking for someone who genuinely enjoys working with people, has an appreciation for good design, and takes initiative. Someone who can confidently host an architect in the showroom, connect with a designer across the country, prepare a detailed quote, and follow through to secure the order.

This is a great opportunity to develop a career in architectural materials and design sales, gain exposure to exciting projects, and grow within a creative, entrepreneurial company.

What You’ll Do

Showroom Sales & Client Relationships

• Welcome architects, designers, builders, and homeowners into our Oceanside showroom, creating a warm, engaging, and knowledgeable client experience.


• Build relationships with clients both in person and virtually through phone, email, video meetings, and other communication channels.


• Guide clients through our concrete and terrazzo collections, helping them select materials, finishes, and applications suited to their projects.


• Manage inbound sales inquiries, understand project requirements, and identify opportunities to convert interest into sales.


• Take ownership of sales opportunities from initial inquiry through material selection, quoting, follow-up, and closing.


• Proactively reconnect with clients, follow up on outstanding quotes, and help turn active opportunities into confirmed orders.


• Prepare accurate quotes, estimates, and sales orders for residential and commercial projects.


• Manage multiple active inquiries and projects, keeping communication timely, organized, and professional.


• Maintain client information, project details, sales activity, and next steps in our CRM and internal systems.


• Coordinate with production, logistics, estimating, and project management teams to help projects move smoothly from inquiry to order.


• Support our national sales representatives with pricing, samples, client presentations, and project follow-up.

Showroom, Samples & Brand Experience

• Take pride in maintaining a beautiful, organized, and client-ready showroom that reflects our design-focused brand.


• Prepare materials and presentations for showroom appointments, virtual meetings, and client visits.


• Coordinate sample requests, packaging, shipping, and occasional local deliveries to architecture and design firms.


• Help organize showroom events, client visits, and brand activations.


• Capture authentic photo and video content of materials, projects, and showroom activities to support our marketing and social media teams.


• Jump in where needed to support the day-to-day operations of our Oceanside headquarters.

Who We’re Looking For

You’re personable, confident, and naturally good at connecting with people. You enjoy the creative side of design but also appreciate the commercial side of sales—building relationships, staying organized, following through, and getting results.

You’ll be a great fit if you have:

• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with confidence engaging clients in person, over the phone, and virtually.


• A genuine interest in architecture, interiors, design, and innovative materials.


• A proactive, sales-oriented mindset and the motivation to turn inquiries into opportunities and opportunities into orders.


• Excellent organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities.


• Strong written communication skills and confidence preparing professional client correspondence and quotes.


• A willingness to take ownership, solve problems, and follow through without constant direction.


• A positive, collaborative attitude and the flexibility to help wherever needed.


• Comfort working with technology, spreadsheets, and CRM systems.


• Previous experience in sales, customer service, showroom operations, or a design-related industry is a plus.

Experience with architectural materials, construction, or estimating is helpful but not essential. We value personality, initiative, curiosity, and the ability to learn just as much as previous industry experience.

Why Join Us?

You’ll work directly with a creative team and a national network of architects, designers, and industry professionals, gaining hands-on experience in both the design and business sides of the industry.

This isn’t a role where you’ll simply sit behind a desk processing requests. You’ll have the opportunity to build meaningful client relationships, contribute to real sales outcomes, and play an active part in the continued growth of Concrete Collaborative.
