Design Consultant

Apply for Design Consultant at King Living in Hemel Hempstead, ENG, GB. This full-time on‑site position offers great opportunities for career growth in a consultative design sales role at a globally recognised Australian brand. Build lasting client relationships in a premium outlet environment and enjoy a rewarding commission structure, generous discounts and career progression.

The King Difference:
This is not just a sales role for someone who can hit a number. It is a consultative role for someone who genuinely loves design – who can walk into a room, understand how a customer lives, and guide them toward a decision they will feel great about for years. As the Design Consultant, you are the primary commercial interface with the customer, creating an experience, building relationships, and earning trust that drive results – not scripts and pressure tactics.

• Consultative Customer Experience – Execute the King Living Road to Sale naturally and at a high standard, from first greeting and needs discovery through to product presentation, confident close and post‑sale follow‑up. Customers leave feeling guided, not sold to.
• Design Knowledge & Product Expertise – Maintain current, comprehensive knowledge of the King Living product range, materials, customisation options and design principles, and apply that knowledge credibly in every customer conversation.
• Pipeline Management & Client Relationships – Manage an active, disciplined pipeline, following up with purpose and timing, and building client relationships that extend beyond a single purchase through genuine care and outstanding service.
• CRM & Showroom Standards – Maintain accurate CRM records that support real commercial management and contribute to outlet floor presentation and brand standards, representing King Living with pride and professionalism at all times.

You will likely come from a premium retail, furniture, interiors or lifestyle brand background – ideally with experience in a consultative sales environment where design knowledge and relationship building are the primary performance drivers. Experience in an outlet or operationally active retail environment is a genuine advantage. What matters most is your design instinct, commercial discipline and the trust you build with every customer.

• Proven experience in consultative sales within a premium, luxury or design‑led retail environment.
• Genuine interest in and knowledge of interior design, furniture, materials and space planning.
• Ability to have a credible design conversation with a sophisticated customer.
• Strong track record of conversion, revenue performance and client relationship development.
• Proactive follow‑up discipline – follow up personally with genuine value, not just to chase a sale.
• CRM‑literate – use it as a commercial tool, not an administrative obligation.
• Comfortable in an outlet environment where stock movement and floor presentation are part of the daily rhythm.
• Available to work one weekend day as part of the regular roster.
• Professional presentation aligned with a premium brand environment.

Rewarding commission structure and competitive remuneration that recognises the quality of your commercial results.

Generous discounts for employees, family and friends on the full premium product range.

Family‑first paid parental leave to support you through every stage of life.

Career growth – design consultants with strong commercial results and emerging leadership skills are well‑positioned for Assistant Showroom Manager roles and beyond.

A supportive, values‑driven environment with a genuine family feel, regular team events and an Employee Assistance Programme to support your ongoing health and wellbeing.
