Lighting & Shade Design / Sales Consultant
Northern Colorado Showroom
We are looking for an experienced, personable, and design-minded Lighting & Shade Design / Sales Consultant to join our Northern Colorado showroom.
This is a unique opportunity for someone who enjoys both high-end residential design and face-to-face retail sales. You’ll work with homeowners, builders, interior designers, and trade professionals on sophisticated lighting and shading solutions, while also welcoming and assisting customers who visit our showroom.
The ideal candidate is equally comfortable discussing the details of a custom home lighting plan, selecting the right shade solution for a client’s space, walking a project site with a builder, or helping a retail customer find the perfect lighting fixture for their home.
Our company offers much more than lighting and shades. We also specialize in window treatments, Audio/Visual, and Home Automation, creating opportunities to expand your expertise and grow your career. We maintain a small-business feel with a fun, family-oriented atmosphere and place a strong emphasis on training, education, teamwork, and professional development.
The Opportunity
This position is ideal for a motivated professional with experience in lighting, shades/window treatments, interior design, construction, architecture, or high-end residential sales who wants to take ownership of projects and build long-term relationships with clients and industry professionals.
You will have the opportunity to work on high-end custom homes and larger accounts while also contributing to the day-to-day success of our showroom. The role requires someone who can balance design expertise, sales ability, project management, and exceptional customer service.
Experience with shades or window treatments is a strong plus, but we are willing to train the right candidate who brings the design, sales, organizational, and relationship-building skills necessary to succeed.
Key Responsibilities
- Consult with homeowners, builders, interior designers, and trade professionals to determine the best lighting and shading solutions for each project.
- Develop thoughtful, personalized lighting and shade recommendations based on a client’s aesthetic, functional, and budgetary needs.
- Present and sell a curated selection of high-quality lighting fixtures, shades, and related products, emphasizing design, quality, functionality, and value.
- Manage projects from initial consultation and product selection through ordering, installation, and completion.
- Utilize Bluebeam to review, mark up, and create detailed lighting plans and project documentation. Advanced proficiency is preferred, but a willingness to learn and become proficient is essential.
- Take ownership of large residential accounts and build strong, lasting relationships with clients and industry professionals.
- Make local site visits to verify project details, coordinate with builders and installation teams, and ensure the finished project meets the high standards our customers expect.
- Collaborate closely with our installation and operations teams to help ensure accurate, seamless project execution.
- Be present and engaged in the showroom on a daily basis, providing exceptional service to both retail customers and design/trade clients.
- Build and maintain relationships with builders, designers, contractors, and homeowners to generate repeat business and referrals.
- Stay current with lighting, shading, window treatment, and design trends, products, and technologies.
- Identify opportunities to introduce clients to our broader range of services, including window treatments, Audio/Visual, and Home Automation.
- Actively seek opportunities to grow your portfolio, develop new business, and expand relationships within the local design and building community.
- Maintain a high level of professionalism, punctuality, organization, communication, and attention to detail.
Qualifications
- Minimum 2 years of experience in construction, interior design, lighting, window treatments/shades, architecture, or a related field.
- Proven experience in high-end residential sales, design, consultation, or project management is strongly preferred.
- Experience with lighting design and/or shades/window treatments is a plus.
- Interior design, architectural, or construction experience is highly valued.
- Strong understanding of design principles and the ability to visualize and communicate design concepts.
- Experience with Bluebeam or similar design/construction software is preferred, or a demonstrated willingness and ability to learn.
- Strong sales instincts with the ability to listen, consult, educate, and ultimately close business without being overly transactional.
- Excellent communication, interpersonal, and relationship-building skills.
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects, customers, and deadlines simultaneously.
- High attention to detail and pride in producing accurate, polished work.
- Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.
- Comfortable working with both high-end residential clients and everyday retail customers.
- Professional appearance and demeanor.
- Valid driver’s license and ability to travel locally for client consultations, project meetings, and site visits.
- A genuine desire to learn, grow, and contribute to a team.
