Retrouvius is looking for someone to join its busy sales team in the Kensal Green showroom. Working from the Retrouvius warehouse, a hidden warren of spaces where salvaged materials are imaginatively displayed, stored and sold, the ideal candidate should have proven retail experience and be enthusiastic, self-motivated with the ability to multi-task. An interest in reclaimed materials and quality eclectic furniture is also preferable.
Requirements. Candidates must be:
organised and efficient with a good attention to detail to ensure that all orders and sales are completed successfully
able to oversee the smooth running of the whole showroom including ensuring the offices, kitchen, workshop are properly stocked and orders for the design clients working with the Retrouvius design team are fulfilled
approachable and friendly. Previous retail experience is preferable as the warehouse is open to customers Monday to Saturday
good at communicating. Working as part of a seven-man team it is essential to be absolutely clear about the status of all ongoing orders and stock availability with both the rest of the sales team and the warehouse team
able to prioritise tasks and react to urgent situations such as large deliveries, collections and impromptu client meetings
excellent personal skills when dealing with both new and existing clients in the showroom, over the phone and via email
experienced with standard computer programs such as Excel, Word and the invoicing system Quickbooks
