Hi, we’re Eva! And we’re here to fill your home with thoughtful furniture and homewares. But why join us? Well, we think we’re pretty special (if we do say so ourselves). In an industry filled with never ending “stocktake sales” and the churn and burn of fast furniture, we’re taking a more sustainable approach.
As a multi-award-winning B-Corp, we take our time to design and develop our one-of-a-kind products from scratch, to ensure they are accessible, reliable and thoughtful. We call this being “Thoughtful everyday” and we’d love for you to join us and continue putting our customers at the heart of everything we do.
What’s the gist?
We’re on the hunt for a retail superstar to become our first ever Showroom Manager as we create our first retail experience! Reporting to the Head of Operations & Product, you’ll be an integral part to all things sales and operations at our top secret (hush hush) brand new retail store! You’ll be responsible for bringing the Eva brand to real life (!) and be at the helm of building our retail team.
Our grand vision is to create a unique furniture shopping experience. Say goodbye to stale awkward showrooms with creepy mattress salesmen. And say hi to cosy, luxurious yet refreshingly approachable spaces that feel like home. Sounds exciting? Read on, and see how you’ll be involved.
No two days will be the same - from solving problems in a fast-paced environment to getting your hands right in (we’re talking running up the street to grab urgent supplies one moment, and closing sales the next). As a people person, you'll have the opportunity to flex your retail management skills within a dynamic and fast-paced direct-to-consumer start up. Most importantly, you’ll be able to fuel your passion for interiors and making customers smile.

- Strong understanding customer journey and consumer behaviour

Benefits
- Remunerated above Award Rate (Level 6, General Retail Industry Award 2020)
- A chance to grow with an expanding start up - you’ll be at the forefront of our retail expansion. As this is just the start of our retail journey, you’ll be able to grow as we grow :)
- The opportunity to bring to life market-leading Australian designs and products in a retail setting
