The Sales Project Manager is one of the most important positions in our showroom. You will be the first point of contact for customers and will guide them through the process of selecting, purchasing, and installing their fireplace or outdoor living oasis. You will learn our products, meet with customers, develop sales opportunities, prepare quotes, coordinate projects, communicate with installers and vendors, and make sure each project moves smoothly from the initial conversation through completion. The more you learn, the more responsibility you can take on—and the more you can earn. We want someone who sees an opportunity and says, "I can figure that out."
