Territory Sales Representative (US)

District Eight, New York, NY, United States


District Eight is a premium furniture and objects brand built on material honesty, rigorous construction, and quiet confidence . We design with intention, value process over noise, and believe that good design speaks through proportion, texture, and restraint — not exaggeration.

While D8 is an international brand, we are firmly established in North America , with:

domestic branch

A local warehouse and logistics setup

Support for showroom partners, designers, and specifiers

This means our partners get both the depth of an international design studio

and the

reliability of a local operation .

Who This Role Is For We are looking for external representatives who:

Deeply understands the

upper-luxury and design-led interior market

Communicates with clarity, honesty, and confidence

Cares about materials, construction, and provenance

— and can speak about them without exaggeration

Loves interior design and architecture, and follows the industry beyond trends

Is drawn to brands that feel

different from the typical U.S. furniture offering

Has an existing network of high-end showrooms, design studios, and industry professionals

Brings an upbeat, curious, and forward-thinking energy

Enjoys curating relationships and shaping a brand presence , not just pushing product

Is comfortable working with an

international team , different cultures, and time zones

If you’re bored of repeating the same pitch for interchangeable brands — this role is likely for you.

What You’ll Do

Represent District Eight across assigned territories in North America

Build and maintain relationships with:

Design-forward furniture showrooms

Interior designers and architects

Select retailers and specifiers aligned with D8’s values

Present collections with integrity and accuracy — no over-promising

Leverage our North America-based branch and warehouse to support partners with confidence

Act as a cultural and commercial bridge between the North American market and our international team

Provide thoughtful feedback on market response, positioning, and long-term opportunities

Contribute to sustainable growth through

long-term partnerships , not short-term wins

How We Work

External / independent representative model

Commission-based structure with room to grow as the brand grows

Direct access to D8’s commercial and product teams

High level of trust, autonomy, and accountability

We care about how you work as much as what you achieve.

A brand with a clear, disciplined design point of view

Products grounded in material truth and craftsmanship

A serious, long-term commitment to the North American market

Local infrastructure paired with international design depth

A chance to help shape how the brand lives — not just where it’s sold

We’re currently prioritizing representation in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Dallas, and Miami, while remaining open to exceptional candidates in other design-forward markets.
