Luxury Kitchen Sales and Project Manager - #2138705

Our client is a leading artisan in professional home kitchens. With its origins and company base in Italy, the brand is renowned for creating exceptional handcrafted kitchens that combine sleek industrial design, sophisticated mechanisms and the experience of professional restaurant cooking.

• Present the brand, collections, designs and technical features using a knowledgeable, consultative approach.
• Prepare quotations for standard products and manage the sales process through to completion.

About you as the Kitchen Sales & Project Manager:

• You will have previous experience within a high-end kitchen, appliance or furniture showroom, combined with strong commercial awareness and excellent client management skills.
• Fluency in both Italian and English is essential, along with excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
