Original job description
WE’RE HIRING: ARCHITECTURAL & DESIGN ACCOUNT MANAGER
Deco-Tile is seeking an experienced Architectural & Design Account Manager with a proven background working directly with architects, interior designers and design firms.
This is a relationship-driven, field-based role for someone who understands the architectural specification process and knows how to develop products from initial presentation and sampling through specification, project follow-up and final sale.
Key responsibilities include:
- Visiting architectural and interior design firms regularly
- Building long-term relationships with architects, designers and specifiers
- Presenting tile collections, technical information and material samples
- Identifying active and upcoming commercial, hospitality, residential and institutional projects
- Securing product specifications and following projects through each stage
- Coordinating samples, pricing and technical support
- Maintaining an organized project pipeline and reporting on progress
- Developing new accounts through consistent in-person prospecting and networking
Candidate requirements:
- Direct experience selling or specifying products to architects and interior designers
- A strong understanding of the architectural and design community
- Experience with tile, stone, flooring, surfaces, plumbing fixtures, lighting, furniture or other architectural materials is strongly preferred
- Proven ability to build relationships and generate specifications
- Strong presentation, communication and organizational skills
- Self-motivated and comfortable spending most of the working week meeting clients in the field
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office and CRM or sales-tracking systems
- A valid driver’s license
This is not a general retail or inside-sales position. We are specifically looking for a candidate who understands how to solicit on architectural and design firms, uncover project opportunities and develop a reliable specification pipeline.
If you have established experience (Minimum 5 years) serving the architecture and design community and would like to represent Deco-Tile’s distinctive collection of tile and surface products, we would like to hear from you.
Please apply through LinkedIn and include a brief description of your experience working with architects, interior designers and specification projects.
