Sales Development Program Associate

Kick off your sales career with a company that’s been winning for over 130 years.

Flexsteel’s Sales Development Program is a full-time, 18-24-month experience designed for early-career professionals ready to grow fast and think big.

It starts at our Global Headquarters in Dubuque, Iowa. You’ll learn the ins and outs of the business, connect with key stakeholders—including executive leadership—and begin shaping the future of Flexsteel sales.

We’re looking for competitive, driven individuals who love to win and want to be part of an innovative, results-focused team. You’ll get broad business exposure, one-on-one mentorship, and the skills to succeed long-term.

When you successfully complete the program, you’ll be ready to step into a Sales Representative role — anywhere in the U.S. We’ll support your relocation and set you up for success.

If you're hungry to grow and ready to make an impact, this role is for you!
