OVERVIEW
We are working with a highly regarded, independent furniture consultancy and dealer to find an Account Manager for its small Shoreditch team. This is an excellent opportunity to join a respected business known for delivering thoughtful, design-led furniture solutions for leading workplace and commercial interior projects. The position could suit an established Account Manager or an experienced Senior Sales Coordinator ready to take greater ownership of clients and projects. Working three days per week, you will manage relationships, develop furniture solutions and coordinate projects from the initial enquiry through to order, delivery and aftercare.
The Role
You will work closely with clients, designers, manufacturers and the internal project team, helping to deliver furniture packages that respond to the project brief, budget and design intent.
Responsibilities will include:
- Managing existing client and project relationships
- Responding to new enquiries and identifying opportunities
- Developing furniture specifications and product proposals
- Researching and sourcing suitable furniture solutions
- Preparing quotations, schedules and client presentations
- Liaising with manufacturers regarding pricing, specifications and lead times
- Negotiating supplier pricing and protecting project margins
- Coordinating samples, finishes and product approvals
- Managing client changes and keeping project information accurate
- Supporting tender submissions and project pitches
- Overseeing projects through ordering, delivery and installation
- Working closely with project management and support colleagues
- Providing clients with clear communication throughout the project
- Developing long-term relationships and identifying future requirements
- Supporting aftercare, warranties and any post-installation requirements
About You
You will have experience within commercial furniture, workplace interiors, FF&E or a closely related design industry.
You may already be working as an Account Manager, or you could be a strong Senior Sales Coordinator who understands the complete furniture project process and is ready to move into a more client-facing position.
You will ideally have:
- Experience working for a commercial furniture dealer or manufacturer
- Good furniture and manufacturer knowledge
- Experience preparing quotations, specifications or furniture schedules
- An understanding of margins, discounts and project costs
- Confidence communicating with architects, designers and end clients
- The ability to manage projects from enquiry through to installation
- Strong presentation and communication skills
- Excellent organisation and attention to detail
- A proactive, commercially aware and collaborative approach
- The confidence to work independently within a small team
Why Consider This Role?
This is a rare opportunity to join one of London’s most interesting independent furniture consultancies on a three-day-a-week basis.
You will become part of a friendly and experienced team, working from a well-positioned Shoreditch studio and contributing to high-quality commercial furniture projects.
The role offers genuine flexibility without reducing the level of responsibility, client contact or project involvement, making it particularly appealing to someone looking for a senior part-time position within the furniture industry.
