Assistant Sales & Design Manager
At Green Retreats, we create exceptional garden rooms that transform the way people live and work. As one of the UK's leading manufacturers of luxury garden buildings, we're proud to deliver not only beautifully crafted spaces, but an experience that reflects the quality and reputation of our brand. Purchasing a Green Retreat is a significant investment, and every customer deserves a journey that feels personal, professional and memorable from their very first enquiry.
We're looking for an enthusiastic and ambitious Assistant Sales & Design Manager to help lead our team in delivering that experience. Working closely with the Sales Manager, you'll inspire and support the team to consistently exceed expectations, building genuine relationships with customers and guiding them through a consultative sales journey with confidence, care and expertise.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys bringing people together, creating structure and helping others succeed. You'll play an important role in supporting and developing our Sales & Design Consultants, encouraging them to grow both personally and professionally through coaching, guidance and leading by example. You'll help create a positive, high-performing environment where success is celebrated, collaboration is encouraged and every team member feels empowered to do their very best.
The Role
As Assistant Sales & Design Manager, you'll help ensure the day-to-day operation of the department runs seamlessly. You'll support the customer journey from the point of sale through to the project being sent into production, working closely with not only the sales team, but the wider business to ensure every project progresses smoothly and every customer feels informed, supported and excited throughout their experience.
You'll help maintain the high standards our customers expect by supporting the smooth running of our internal processes, assisting with operational support and ensuring nothing gets overlooked as projects move through the business.
Beyond supporting our customers journey, you'll help create the environment that allows both our people and our department to succeed. Through coaching, guidance and day-to-day support, you'll help colleagues develop their confidence and capabilities, while also ensuring the operational side of the department runs smoothly through effective planning, rota management, showroom standards and assisting the Sales Manager with weekly and monthly reporting.
You'll also provide support to our Twickenham showroom, helping to maintain consistency across both locations through training, operational support, reporting and team development.
