We are a design-build company specializing in residential additions, custom builds, and major renovations. We are currently seeking a Senior Interior Designer & Sales Consultant with a minimum of 10 years of residential interior design experience. The ideal candidate combines strong professional design skills, practical residential construction knowledge, excellent client communication, and the ability to independently manage client consultations and close sales.

This role involves more than design work. The successful candidate will independently manage company-provided leads and take full ownership of each opportunity, from the initial client consultation through needs assessment, design development, preliminary pricing, presentation, follow-up, and contract signing.

Key Responsibilities

- Independently follow up with potential clients provided by the company, including phone communication, appointment scheduling, in-home consultations, needs assessment, and ongoing follow-up.
- Conduct site measurements and independently develop space plans, design concepts, material selections, and design presentations.
- Develop practical renovation solutions and preliminary quotations based on the client’s needs, priorities, scope of work, and budget.
- Clearly present and explain design concepts, construction scope, material selections, preliminary pricing, budget considerations, and the overall project process to clients.
- Build strong client relationships, address concerns, revise proposals, negotiate project scope and pricing when appropriate, and confidently close projects through contract signing.
- Coordinate a smooth project handover to the construction, engineering, and project management teams after contract signing, and provide necessary design support during project execution.
- Maintain organized records of personal project experience, design portfolios,



client proposals, quotations, and signed contracts.

Qualifications
- A minimum of 10 years of residential interior design experience, with strong skills in space planning, material coordination, and practical design execution.
- Robust knowledge of commonly used renovation materials, local suppliers, construction methods, and approximate building costs in the Greater Toronto Area.
- Proven experience working directly with homeowners and successfully closing sales, with the ability to independently guide clients from the initial consultation through final contract signing.
- Must have independently completed at least 8 residential design projects per year, including home additions, custom homes, and major renovations.
- Must provide a portfolio and project examples that were independently led and completed by the applicant. Projects in which the applicant only provided supporting design assistance will not be considered.
- Must have the ability to independently close projects. Once the company provides a lead, the candidate must be able to manage the full process, including phone communication, appointment scheduling, site meetings, needs analysis, design development, quotation preparation, presentation, follow-up, and contract signing.
- Ability to read and understand architectural drawings, floor plans, elevations, and basic structural drawings. Basic knowledge of the Ontario Building Code, zoning requirements, and the building permit process is required.




- Proficiency in AutoCAD, SketchUp, and at least one professional 3D rendering program. Must be able to prepare clear, professional, and sales-oriented design presentations.
- Strong budget awareness, with the ability to balance design quality, material selections, and construction costs within the client’s budget.
- Excellent communication, presentation, negotiation, and customer service skills.
- Self-motivated, responsible, and able to manage multiple clients and design projects while meeting deadlines.
- Fluent English communication is required. Mandarin or Cantonese is considered an asset.
- A valid Ontario driver’s licence and access to a reliable vehicle are required for travel to client homes and project sites.

Compensation and Benefits
- Competitive base salary based on experience and ability
- Additional sales commission for each successfully signed project
- A steady supply of qualified leads provided by the company
- Long-term career stability and clear advancement opportunities

Application Requirements Please submit the following with your application:
- Resume
- Design portfolio
- At least 3 project examples independently led and completed by the applicant
- For each project, please include the project type, size, budget range, your responsibilities, and the final project outcome
