Retail Sales & Trade Sales Consultant
Full-time position based in Paddington NSW
Attractive Salary Package
Reports to: NSW Trade Representative & Retail Showroom Manager
For over 25 years, Great Dane has represented some of the world’s most respected Scandinavian furniture brands, showcasing work by influential mid-century designers alongside contemporary makers. Our showrooms are considered spaces — places for conversation, guidance, and long-term client relationships.
This role is suited to someone who enjoys working at the intersection of design, service, and commercial outcomes, and who brings care, confidence, and clarity to each client interaction.
Based in our Paddington showroom, your primary focus will be to generate and manage sales across the Great Dane product range through consistent client engagement, follow-up, and deep product knowledge. You will work closely with clients both in-store and beyond — guiding decisions thoughtfully, managing detail carefully, and ensuring a seamless experience from first enquiry through to delivery and aftercare.
You will become part of a dynamic team dedicated to inspiring clients through enduring design and craftsmanship. Working across both retail and trade, you will nurture our growing client community while building strong connections within the interior design and architectural sectors.
