You will work closely with the sales, marketing, operation support and dealer network to turn design conversations into project opportunities and long-term business relationships.

- Collaborate with the sales team and dealer partners to develop project strategies and support the conversion of specifications into business opportunities.
- Support client presentations, product demonstrations, mock ups, workshops and other project related activities.
- Manage mock up aesthetics, mock up inventory, and finish card/swatch inventory, ensuring all materials are well maintained, organised and readily available for sales engagements and project presentations.
- Work with the marketing team to develop A&D; focused events, content, campaigns and educational initiatives.
- Support the planning and development of Humanscale Experience Centres/showrooms and dealer spaces to create engaging product experiences for the design community.
- Stay informed about developments in workplace design, ergonomics, sustainability, materials and evolving ways of working, and bring relevant insights into conversations with designers.
- Maintain accurate project and relationship information in CRM, report A&D; engagement and pipeline progress, and continuously identify opportunities to strengthen Humanscale’s presence within the design community.
