Trade Relations Specialist

Do you enjoy meeting new people and building genuine connections? Are you energized by face-to-face interaction and being out in the field instead of behind a desk?

We’re looking for a Trade Relations Specialist to help us build and grow relationships with local showrooms, designers, builders, and specialty retailers in the home improvement space.

This role is focused on relationship-building, outreach, and partnership development—not high-pressure sales.

• Reaching out to local designers, showrooms, and industry professionals to introduce our brand
• Visiting local businesses to build relationships and identify partnership opportunities
• Scheduling and conducting product presentations and follow-up meetings
• Introducing our decorative hardware product lines and Trade Advantage program
• Building and maintaining long-term relationships with partners in your territory
• Tracking outreach, follow-ups, and relationships in our CRM
• Representing our company professionally in the local market

You are opening doors and building connections—not grinding through aggressive quotas.

Who This Role Is Ideal For

• Someone who enjoys meeting new people and building genuine connections
• A natural communicator who is confident, personable, and professional
• Someone who prefers being out in the field over sitting at a desk
• A polished individual who takes pride in representing a brand
• Someone curious about business, design, or the home improvement industry
• Sales experience is a plus, but not required—we will train the right person

What Matters Most

• Strong communication skills
• Professionalism/Reliability
• Positive/Friendly Energy
• Basic computer proficiency
• A valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
• Willingness to travel locally

Why This Role Is Different

This isn’t about pushing products.

It’s about building relationships, becoming a trusted face of our brand in the community, and creating partnerships that last. If you enjoy connecting with people, representing something you believe in, and contributing to long-term growth, we’d love to meet you.
