Sales Consultant

Type of position:Full Time
Department:Retail
Location:Lakeside Thurruk, UK
Date Posted:31 August 2026

 

King Living is opening a new showroom at Lakeside Retail Park — and we are looking for the founding team to bring it to life.

Since 1977 we have designed and manufactured our own furniture, and everything we make starts with engineering. Signature steel frames. Modular designs built to be reconfigured as a home changes. Removable covers. Pieces made to last decades rather than seasons. It is furniture people keep, adapt and pass on.

This is a rare opportunity to open a King Living showroom from day one. As part of the founding team you will help set the standard, shape the customer experience and build the culture of a brand-new site — in one of the UK’s busiest and most established retail destinations.

What You’ll Own

Sales & Customer Experience
Deliver exceptional customer experiences and maximise every sales opportunity. Build genuine relationships, understand how each customer lives and confidently guide them through a considered purchase. Follow through properly — the first conversation, the follow-up, the design revision, the order, the delivery.

Design Consultation & Product Expertise
Become a genuine expert in what we make and why it is made that way.
Learn the engineering, the modular configurations, the fabrics, leathers and finishes, and use space planning to help customers see a King Living piece in their own home before they buy it.

Order Accuracy & Aftercare
Get the detail right the first time, every time.
Configurations, fabric selections, measurements, lead times and delivery expectations. Accuracy protects the customer experience long after the sale is made, and it is what turns a customer into a repeat one.

Showroom Presentation & Brand Standards
Represent King Living with professionalism and pride.
Maintain an immaculate, beautifully styled showroom that reflects the quality of the product. Every customer should walk into a space that is worth their time.

Team Contribution
Be the teammate everyone wants beside them.
Support wherever needed, share what works, contribute ideas and help create an environment where a brand-new team succeeds together.

Who You Are
You are consultative, curious and genuinely interested in people.
You enjoy the longer conversation — the customer who arrives with a floor plan, the one who needs three visits, the one who wants to understand exactly how the frame is built before they decide.

You are equally happy talking a customer through fabric options, working up a configuration, following up a quote or restyling the showroom before opening.
You take ownership naturally, you communicate well, and you enjoy working in a close-knit team where everyone contributes.

You must be available for weekend and public holiday work which will be required to support the needs of the business.

You’ll likely bring:
  • Retail, hospitality or customer service experience, ideally in a premium or considered-purchase environment
  • A genuine interest in design, interiors and how people live in their homes
  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with the patience for a longer sales journey
  • Confidence working towards individual and showroom sales targets
  • Good organisational skills and real attention to detail
  • Confidence learning new systems, product configurations and processes
  • A proactive, hands-on attitude and willingness to support across sales, presentation and customer aftercare
Furniture experience is helpful, but not essential.

We’ll teach you our products. We are looking for people with the right mindset.

Why Join King Living?
This is a rare opportunity to join the founding team of a brand-new King Living showroom.

You will help shape the culture, the ways of working and the customer experience from day one, whilst building your career with one of Australia’s most respected furniture brands — a family-owned design company with showrooms across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Canada, the USA and Asia.

Everything we do is guided by four values - Passion.   Integrity.   Collaboration.   Innovation. They are not words on a page — they shape how we sell, how we look after customers and how we treat each other.

We offer competitive pay with commission, generous product discounts for you and your family, structured product and sales training, and genuine progression across a growing UK network.

King Living is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and are happy to make adjustments at any stage of the recruitment process.
  
If you love great design, enjoy working with people and want to help open something new — we’d love to hear from you.
