Why join us?
At Design Within Reach, home comes first. We believe in creating and sourcing pieces that move with you and are meant to be enjoyed over a lifetime – from home to home, generation to generation. For us, that means exceptionally crafted, built-to-last, and beautifully designed furnishings.

Being a part of Design Within Reach means being a part of something larger than your work team, or even your brand. We are redefining modern for the 21st century. And our success allows Design Within Reach to support causes that align with our values, so we can build a more sustainable, equitable, and beautiful future for everyone.

Are you a creative professional with a passion for interior design and a proven track record in sales? Do you thrive in a client-facing environment where you can bring iconic modern design to life? If so, our Design Within Reach store is looking for you.

About the Role:
As a Sales Specialist, you'll blend your design sensibility with consultative selling skills to deliver exceptional client experiences.

  • Maintain visual merchandising standards and contribute to the overall aesthetic of the store
  • Stay current on product knowledge, design trends, and industry developments through training and self-study
  • Conduct in-home consultations and attend off-site meetings with trade clients as needed

What We're Looking for:

  • A design-savvy sales professional with a passion for modern interiors
  • Experienced in retail sales, design consulting, or customer success (preferred)
  • Background in interior design, architecture, or related field (preferred)
  • Skilled in client needs assessment, problem-solving, and relationship building
  • Proficient with Microsoft Office, and design tools (e.g., SketchUp, AutoCAD, or similar)
  • Able to lift 20+ lbs and work in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment
