Sales Executive

Ebony and Co is seeking an experienced Sales Executive (Project & Design Consultant) to join its French Team in Paris.

Ebony and Co

Ebony and Co creates handcrafted wide plank flooring and unique luxury wood environments using the world's finest wood. Our bespoke flooring, wall panelling, cladding and decking feature in prestigious residential and hospitality projects around the world.

We work closely with high-end interior designers, leading architects and private clients, combining exceptional craftsmanship with highly personalised service.

The Role

As Sales Executive, you will develop relationships with new and existing clients, identify sales opportunities and manage high-value projects from initial enquiry through to delivery and after-sales support.

This is as much a relationship-building role as a sales one. Our clients and the designers we work with return to us because of the connection they have with our team - not just the product. You'll be someone who enjoys the client dinner or the studio walk-through as much as closing the deal, and who understands that trust, built over time, is what wins the next project too.

This is a consultative sales and project management role requiring commercial awareness, excellent communication and a genuine interest in interior design, architecture and craftsmanship.

Your Responsibilities

• Generate sales through relationships with interior designers, contractors and private clients.
• Identify and develop new leads and project opportunities.
• Build and maintain long-term relationships with designers and architects - including through events, studio visits and client entertaining (lunches, dinners and the occasional evening out) that turn contacts into lasting partners
• Represent Ebony and Co at industry and design events, helping to strengthen our ties with the design community
• Present our products in our Paris showroom, at client locations or at our Dutch global showroom and production facility
• Guide clients through our collections, finishes and bespoke possibilities
• Prepare quotations, forecasts and project documentation
• Manage multiple projects from specification through to delivery and after-sales support
• Liaise with our sampling, production, logistics and installation teams
• Maintain accurate client and project information in our CRM system
• Deliver an exceptional and personal client experience at every stage

About you

You are articulate, commercially driven and highly professional, with the confidence and social awareness to work with discerning clients and leading design professionals. You build relationships naturally and enjoy maintaining them just as much as winning new ones.

You will bring:

• Relevant sales experience, ideally within the luxury sector.
• Exceptional spoken and written French and English.
• Excellent presentation and relationship-building skills — a genuine people person who enjoys hosting and connecting with clients and designers.
• Proven 5-year working experience in high end wood flooring, wood interiors, or related business.
• Proven network of high-end interior designers and architects in France.
• An international outlook, equally at ease with clients and designers from different cultures and backgrounds.
• The initiative and self-discipline to work independently, organise your own workload and take responsibility for results.
• A resourceful, can-do approach — comfortable finding your own solutions and managing your own diary.
• Strong commercial awareness and a proactive approach to business development.
• Strong organisation and attention to detail, with the ability to manage several projects simultaneously.
• Proven 5-year experience in CRM system, MS Excel to make calculations, quotations and record sales.
• Experience with wood flooring, installation projects or AutoCAD would be an advantage.

What we offer

• A competitive salary based on experience
• A performance-related bonus
• Company pension scheme
• Company phone and laptop
• Product training and professional-development opportunities
• The opportunity to travel and work on prestigious international projects
• A yearly sales meeting at one of our global branches
