SALES ASSISTANT

JOB DESCRIPTION

We are looking for an upbeat and detail-oriented go-getter to join our client services team full-time. This position is located in our showroom at the New York Design Center in NYC.

You will be the first point of contact for all client engagement for the ‘ducduc’ and ‘studio duc’ brands; and you will navigate our clients throughout the sales cycle (pre and post-purchase). This is a mix of face-to-face and online sales management: running showroom appointments, manning Live Chat on the website, supporting clients on the phone and entering orders.

You would be working closely with the Customer Service team to ensure clients receive the best overall brand experience. You would also be working closely with the Design and Marketing teams to inform them on future campaigns and influencer relationships. This position is an excellent place to kickoff a career in sales and client relationship management.

Whether you are a seasoned professional or you’re just starting out on a new career path, this opportunity offers advancement, growth, and competitive pay with benefits (plus all the fun stuff we do outside of work… out of office events, cocktail hours…. albeit tailored at the moment with covid safety in mind).

If you want to be part of a thriving company with big plans, this is your chance to get in and grow with us. Send us your resume and we’ll be in touch.
