What You’ll Do:

As our Trade Sales Manager, you’ll be responsible for growing and managing relationships with our trade customer base. You’ll play a key role in strengthening our presence within the design and building industries while ensuring a premium, service-driven customer experience.

• Creative Collaboration: Join a passionate, high-performing team that loves design and thrives on collaboration.
• Work Autonomy: We trust our people to get the job done. You’ll have the freedom to make your role your own.
