Sales & Showroom Assistant

Durango Doors is a family-owned, custom door and window company proudly based in Austin, Texas. Since 1999, we have been designing and manufacturing high-quality custom steel doors and windows for residential and commercial clients across Austin, and the region. With over two decades of craftsmanship and a reputation built on personal service, we bring artistry and precision to every project.

Our Austin showroom is the heart of the Durango Doors experience, where clients can explore our products, meet our team, and begin the journey toward their project. We are a tight-knit team that takes pride in our work and our relationships, both with our clients and with each other.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated Sales & Showroom Assistant to join our team. This is an in-person, full-time role based in our Austin showroom. The right candidate will start by learning the ins and outs of our business, our products, our clients, our processes, and our sales approach- with the goal of growing into a fully independent salesperson.

Durango Doors serves clientele that includes homeowners, luxury home builders, interior designers, and architects. Our product is a luxury offering, and the experience we provide, from the first showroom visit to project completion, reflects that standard of excellence.

In addition to supporting the showroom floor, this person will work closely with our owner, Natalie, providing day-to-day administrative and operational support as she manages her client portfolio and ongoing projects. This is a unique opportunity to learn the custom door and window industry from the ground up, with direct mentorship from our owner and experienced sales team.
