Job Type: Full Time

Job Base: Office Based

Job Salary: £32,000 (OTE £38,000)

At Green Retreats, we create exceptional garden rooms that transform the way people live and work. As one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of luxury garden buildings, we’re proud to deliver not only beautifully crafted spaces, but an experience that reflects the quality and reputation of our brand. Purchasing a Green Retreat is a significant investment, and every customer deserves a journey that feels personal, professional and memorable from their very first enquiry.

We’re looking for an enthusiastic and ambitious Assistant Sales & Design Manager to help lead our team in delivering that experience. Working closely with the Sales Manager, you’ll inspire and support the team to consistently exceed expectations, building genuine relationships with customers and guiding them through a consultative sales journey with confidence, care and expertise.
