DESIGN & INVESTMENT MANAGER

Own the Sales Journey. Shape Better Homes. Build a Bigger Career.

Architeca Design Build Firm | Chennai

Are you someone who can understand what a customer really wants, guide them through a major investment decision, and confidently close the business? Do you enjoy consultative selling more than transactional selling? Are you commercially driven, yet passionate about homes, design and the built environment? If yes, we would like to meet you.

ABOUT ARCHITECA

Architeca Design Build Firm is a residential Design & Build company focused on creating thoughtfully designed, high-quality homes. We bring together Design + Construction + Investment Guidance + Project Management under one integrated customer experience. As we grow, we are looking for a strong Design & Investment Manager to take ownership of our residential sales journey and help customers confidently move from an initial conversation to building their dream home with Architeca.

THE ROLE

As a Design & Investment Manager, you will be the commercial owner of the customer journey. You will work closely with our architects during customer consultations — the architect brings design and technical expertise; you bring customer understanding, commercial clarity and sales ownership. You will help customers answer: "Is Architeca the right partner for me to design and build my home?" and guide them towards the next appropriate step.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Understand the customer — their vision, lifestyle, plot and project requirements, budget and investment expectations, quality expectations, timeline and decision process.

Conduct

Design & Investment consultations alongside Architeca architects, connecting customer aspirations, design possibilities, investment, execution and decision. Convert interest into commitment by presenting and closing our Feasibility / Concept engagement — you should enjoy closing, not avoid it.





Present proposals and investment: project investment, scope, the Design & Build process, payment structure, timeline, quality and value, handling questions, objections and negotiations professionally. Own follow-up: own your sales pipeline with a clear status, next step, follow-up date and proper CRM documentation, owning opportunities until they are won, lost or consciously deferred. Work with multiple teams — architects, lead qualification, QS / estimation, accounts & finance, design, project and management.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR A strong consultative salesperson, preferably with exposure to architecture, construction, interiors, real estate or other high-value sales. You could be an architect who enjoys sales, an interior designer with commercial ability, a construction professional who enjoys customer-facing work, a premium real estate salesperson, or a high-performing consultative sales / business development professional. Architecture qualification is NOT mandatory — what matters is your ability to Understand, Consult, Influence, Negotiate and Close.

YOU WILL BE A EXCELLENT FIT IF YOU enjoy talking to customers, ask good questions, listen before proposing, understand customer psychology, are commercially sharp, are confident discussing money, can sell value rather than discount price, are persistent without being pushy, can handle rejection, enjoy achieving targets, take ownership of outcomes, follow through on commitments, and are disciplined with CRM and sales processes.





WHAT WE VALUE

Ownership, customer understanding, commercial thinking, integrity (a home is one of the largest investments a family makes — we sell with complete transparency and responsibility) and a growth mindset.

EXPERIENCE

Preferred: 4-8 years in consultative sales, residential construction, architecture, interior design, premium real estate, Design & Build, or high-value customer sales. Exceptional candidates with less experience may also be considered if they demonstrate strong sales ability, communication and ownership.

EDUCATION A background in Architecture, Civil Engineering, Interior Design, Business / Management or Sales & Marketing is preferred but not mandatory. Your ability to sell, consult and take ownership matters more than your degree.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Work with premium residential customers, sell high-value Design & Build projects, work alongside architects and design professionals, develop strong consultative selling skills, learn the business of residential construction, and grow into a larger sales leadership role as the organisation expands. You will join to build and own a sales function, not merely to handle leads.

COMPENSATION

Competitive fixed salary + performance-linked incentives, reflecting your experience and demonstrated sales capability. High performers will have significant earning and growth potential.

LOCATION

Chennai. Full-time role.

HOW TO APPLY
