We are looking for a results-driven Design Assistant at Da Vinci Marble San Carlos showroom to support our senior designers/salespeople. The Assistant will also support the tile and stone designers by attending design sessions with clients, taking detailed notes, and following up with questions, product holds, inventory requests/product availability, and quotes. With time and training, the successful Assistant will have the ability to answer product-related questions and recommend appropriate stone and tile solutions on their own. This position provides great training and experience to get to the next level in design.
The successful Assistant must be up-to-date with the vendors featured at Da Vinci (we will provide the training), committed to maintaining our showroom's beautiful visual appearance, and passionate about delighting customers from the moment they walk through the door to when they install our materials.
