About King Living
King Living is a family-owned Australian design company designing and manufacturing its own furniture since 1977.
Signature steel frames, modular designs, removable covers, and pieces made to last decades rather than seasons.
Opening a brand new showroom in Edmonton and looking for the founding team to bring it to life.
Role Overview
As a Design Consultant, you are the reason a customer chooses King Living.
Guide customers through one of the biggest decisions they make for their home by understanding how they live, helping them picture it, and designing a solution that fits.
It is a consultative sale, not a transaction; customers often visit three or four times before they commit.
Being part of a new showroom means helping set the standard from the very first day.
What You Will Own
- Consultative Customer Experience: Build genuine relationships and deliver an exceptional experience face to face and over the phone.
- Sales Performance & Pipeline: Follow up every lead, quote and enquiry and convert it, working with the team on campaigns and promotions.
- Design & Product Expertise: Become an expert in products, engineering, modular configurations, fabrics, leathers and finishes, and use space planning.
- Showroom & Brand Standards: Maintain showroom presentation to the highest standard in line with Visual Merchandising guidelines.
- Systems & Accuracy: Use in-house systems to process and manage sales orders efficiently and accurately.
Who You Are
- A design-passionate sales professional who builds real relationships.
- Proven sales experience, ideally in retail, furniture, textiles or interior design, with a keen eye for detail.
- Availability for regular weekend work is essential.
- A genuine interest in design and real curiosity about how people live in their homes.
- Confident communication skills, written and verbal, with patience for a longer sales journey.
- A natural ability to build lasting customer relationships and a passion for selling well.
- Comfortable working towards individual and showroom sales targets.
- A quick learner who can understand customer needs and respond with the right solution.
- Basic to intermediate computer skills, including data entry.
- Comfortable standing for long periods, demonstrating products and lifting up to 50 lb.
- Furniture experience is helpful, but not essential.
Compensation
- $25.00 – $29.00 per hour depending on experience, plus commission opportunities and sales campaigns.
Why People Join King Living
- An iconic Australian brand with operations across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia, the USA, China and Thailand.
- A founding opportunity to help open King Living Edmonton and shape culture, standards and customer experience.
- Be rewarded for performance with hourly pay plus commission opportunities and sales campaigns.
- Generous employee and family & friends discounts on the full premium product range.
- Paid parental leave.
- Career growth opportunities including pathways into showroom leadership.
- A supportive, team-focused environment with an EAP for health and wellbeing.
