Job Description
A high-end kitchen manufacturer with more than 70 years of heritage is opening its flagship interior design showroom in London, and is looking for a Prospecting Sales Representative to build its presence in the capital.
Originally known for kitchens, the brand now designs for the whole day area of the home, working from the principle that every person is unique and so are the spaces they live in. Already well established across Europe, the UK is the next chapter — and this role is central to it.
This is a genuine business development position. You will take the range out to architectural practices, interior designers, design offices, estate agencies and construction brokers across London, building a network of specifiers from the ground up and earning trust in a competitive, design-led market.
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.
What You Will Be Doing
- Prospecting and business development across the London area — phoning, emailing, and face-to-face visits
- Understanding the commercial challenges of the professionals you meet, and positioning the brand as the solution
- Identifying live projects through consistent market monitoring and your contact network, and finding the decision-maker on each one
- Building and maintaining a file of prescribers and specifiers
- Negotiating new agreements and following projects right through to signature
- Providing technical advice and support in line with construction industry regulation
- Supporting showroom and trade events alongside the Communication & Marketing team
- Weekly reporting to your manager
This is a full-time permanent contract based at the West End showroom, with all business travel costs covered by the company. It suits someone who wants to be early into a brand's UK launch and have a visible hand in how it lands.
