Kaminskiy Design & Remodeling is looking for a Sales-Focused Design Consultant to join our growing team. This role is ideal for a proven salesperson who understands residential remodeling, loves working with homeowners, and knows how to inspire confidence and excitement — without being responsible for full project design or management.

We’ve intentionally restructured this position to allow each team member to operate in their zone of excellence. This role is primarily sales and relationship-driven , supported by our experienced Lead Designers and Production team.

About the Role

Once the construction contract is signed, the Lead Designer takes over full responsibility for design development, selections, and project management. At that point, your role shifts to high-level client care and relationship continuity , ensuring a seamless handoff and positive client experience.

This position is not responsible for creating drawings, managing selections, or running projects.

• Strong track record of closing sales and hitting goals
• Confident, personable, and professional communicator
• Ability to inspire clients and build rapport quickly

• Comfortable working in clients’ homes and discussing investment-level projects

Preferred / Strong Plus:

• Background or education in design, architecture, or construction
• Working knowledge of residential remodeling and construction processes
• Ability to identify high-level feasibility issues (e.g., load-bearing walls, additions, site constraints)
• Experience discussing scope, timelines, and realistic expectations with homeowners

Who You Are

• A go-getter who thrives in a consultative sales environment
• Someone who understands that sales success is built on trust, education, and follow-through
• A team player who values collaboration over ego
• Comfortable being client-facing but happy to pass the design baton to specialists
