Showroom Manager

A leadership opportunity with an international, design led furniture and homewares brand opening a brand new showroom in Rainham this November.

This is the first appointment on site. You will recruit and build your own founding team of eight, set the commercial and cultural standard from day one, and lead the showroom through opening and beyond. It is a genuine business ownership role, not a caretaker one.

What you will be doing

• Recruiting, coaching and developing a high performing showroom team from scratch
• Owning showroom sales performance, budgets and commercial results
• Leading from the front on the floor, personally driving sales through a consultative approach
• Setting high standards while building a positive, customer obsessed culture
• Partnering with visual merchandising on showroom presentation and changeovers
• Overseeing stock, inventory accuracy and the end to end customer journey

What we are looking for

• A genuine player coach, visible on the floor and strong at holding a team accountable
• Proven retail leadership, ideally within premium or luxury environments
• Commercial fluency and confidence owning showroom performance and P&L
• Experience in premium furniture, interiors or considered purchase retail is highly attractive, although exceptional leaders from other premium environments are welcome
• New store opening experience is a strong advantage

Interviews are moving quickly, with an ideal start in early October ahead of the November opening.
