HR Partnering is recruiting for Giorgetti Toronto's new showroom. This role is for Giorgetti Toronto; HR Partnering is the recruiter posting it.
About the Role
Giorgetti Toronto is building its opening team, and we are looking for an experienced Sales Associate to join us.
This is not a conventional retail position. Our clients expect expertise, discretion, preparation and thoughtful guidance. You will need to understand a client's lifestyle, interpret architectural and design requirements, and develop complete furniture and interior proposals rather than simply selling individual products.
The right person is polished, highly organized, commercially motivated, and genuinely interested in architecture, furniture, interiors and design.
About Giorgetti
Founded in 1898 in Meda, Italy, Giorgetti began as a cabinetmaking workshop dedicated to the highest standards of woodworking and craftsmanship. Over more than 125 years it has become one of Italy's most respected luxury furniture and interior design brands while keeping the artisanal knowledge and attention to detail that defined its origins.
Giorgetti represents a distinct expression of contemporary Italian design: sophisticated rather than decorative, innovative without being fashionable, and created with an exceptional understanding of materials, proportion, comfort and craftsmanship. Every Giorgetti product is conceived and manufactured in Italy.
Today Giorgetti works internationally across luxury residential interiors, private residences, hospitality, yachts, corporate environments and real estate developments, collaborating with leading architects, interior designers, developers and sophisticated private clients.
About Giorgetti Toronto

Our goal is to create a showroom experience that reflects the standards of the Giorgetti brand: knowledgeable, refined, personal and highly professional. We are looking for people who are genuinely interested in design and who understand that successful luxury sales are built through knowledge, listening, trust, service and exceptional attention to detail.
