FURNITURE CONSULTANT ENTRY LEVEL OR JUNIOR
LDN - COMPETITIVE SALARY + EXCELLENT COMMISSION
Collate Form is an LDN-based careers service hiring internationally across the furniture and design industry.
We are working with one of London’s leading furniture consultancies to find a bright, ambitious Furniture Consultant for its Clerkenwell team.
This is an amazing opportunity for someone at the beginning of their career who genuinely loves furniture, interior design and beautifully considered spaces. You may already have some experience within furniture, interiors, styling, project coordination or a design-led business, or you may simply be determined to build a long-term career within the industry.
You do not require experience.
More important than having years of experience is your attitude. You will need a strong work ethic, a great personality and the confidence to communicate with clients, designers, suppliers and colleagues.
You should be commercially minded, highly organised and excited by the opportunity to learn.
In return, you will join one of the most respected furniture dealers in the industry, with excellent training, a competitive salary, a strong commission structure and genuine opportunities to progress.
THE ROLE
You will help deliver furniture projects from the initial client brief through to specification, quotation, ordering and completion.
Working closely with interior designers, clients, furniture manufacturers and the internal project team, you will develop product proposals that respond to the design intent, budget and programme.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
