Coordinate with bookkeeping and operations to forecast payments, track open purchase orders, and manage term-account timing with accuracy.
Partner with marketing and other company divisions to build outreach campaigns and sales tools and to maintain follow-up funnels with potential clients and leads.
Maintain in-depth knowledge of the furnishings, lighting, and decorative lines represented by Hawthorne House while staying current with broader industry trends, materials, and innovations.
Participate in the design community by attending trade shows, designer show houses, vendor presentations, and industry events to strengthen professional relationships and identify new opportunities.
Prepare and maintain organized client files, proposals, and sales tracking reports.
Collaborate with leadership on strategies to reach monthly and annual sales goals.
Maintain strong vendor relationships, staying informed about new introductions, lead times, and product availability.
Meet or exceed monthly sales goals with consistent attention to client satisfaction and design integrity.

Minimum of three years of experience in luxury furnishings, lighting, or interior design.
Knowledge of furnishings, decorative arts, and lighting, with an appreciation for craftsmanship and quality.
