Sales & Distribution Assistant
About the Role
Studio ST is looking for a Sales & Distribution Assistant to build and lead the domestic and international distribution of premium fabrics and wallpapers. This is a high-ownership, ground-up role for someone who thrives on building systems from scratch, understands the nuances of premium, design-led products, and is comfortable operating with autonomy in a growing creative business.
You will be instrumental in shaping how our products reach the market — from establishing distribution networks to creating immersive, high-touch client experiences that reflect the brand's design philosophy.
Key Responsibilities
- Sales & Distribution Strategy: Develop and implement robust domestic and international sales and distribution systems from the ground up.
- Partner & Relationship Building: Establish and nurture strong relationships with distributors, retailers, architects, designers, and other relevant trade partners.
- Market Expansion: Identify and evaluate new markets, geographies, and business opportunities for growth.
- Process Design: Create scalable, repeatable processes for sales operations and distribution management.
- Experience Centre Development: Design and build the framework for an experience centre focused on curated, one-on-one client interactions.
- Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with the creative and studio teams to ensure a consistent, on-brand experience across all client and partner touchpoints.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience building sales and/or distribution systems from scratch, ideally in a premium, design-led, or luxury products environment.
- Strong understanding of and appreciation for premium design, materials, and craftsmanship (fabrics, wallpapers, interiors, or related categories preferred).
- Demonstrated ability to build and manage relationships with trade partners such as distributors, retailers, architects, and designers.
- Experience with both domestic and international market development.
- Entrepreneurial mindset — comfortable taking ownership, working with ambiguity, and building processes where none currently exist.
- Strong collaboration skills to work effectively with creative and studio teams.
- Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship-management skills.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- 1+ years of experience in sales, distribution, or channel management, preferably within design, home decor, textiles, or luxury/premium consumer goods.
- Experience working in or with a growing/scaling creative or design business is a strong plus.
- Willingness to travel domestically and internationally as needed.
