About the Role
Shades By Design is seeking a Window Treatment Design & Estimating Specialist to support the Owner in creating and presenting luxury window treatment and shading solutions for high-end residential and commercial projects.
This role is perfect for someone with a design background who wants to specialize in one of the most in-demand niches in the interior design industry: custom window treatments, drapery, and motorized shading systems.
We will train you in everything needed — from fabrics and hardware to motorization options and architectural integration.
What You’ll Do:
Design & Client Support
- Assist the Owner in presenting shading solutions, fabrics, drapery styles, and hardware
- Conduct sales-related site visits to take basic notes, confirm finishes, and understand ceiling/wall conditions
- Interpret architectural plans (training provided)
- Organize samples, request memos, and support material selection
- Prepare meeting notes, proposals, and follow-ups with clients and designers
Shading Solution Coordination
- Help prepare accurate quotes for shades, drapes, and pergola shading systems
- Confirm fabric and material availability (openness factors, hardware finishes, etc.)
- Collaborate with Project Managers after a project is sold to ensure smooth handoff
- Maintain CRM (SPP) with accurate design notes, specs, and communication history
Showroom & Trade Partner Interaction
- Assist during architect/designer showroom visits
- Prepare materials for presentations
- Support relationships with high-end designers, builders, and architects
What We’re Looking For:
- Experience or education in Interior Design, Architecture, or a related field
- Strong eye for texture, materials, and fabric selection
- Interest in specializing in window treatments, drapery, and shading systems
- Comfortable learning technical details (we will train you)
- Highly organized with excellent communication and follow-through
- Polished, professional, and confident in client-facing environments
Why This Role Is Special:
- You will be trained directly by the Owner in a high-earning niche of the design industry
- You’ll work on luxury homes, estates, and commercial projects across South Florida and beyond
- You’ll gain expertise few designers have — opening future opportunities in sales, design, or project consulting
- You’ll be part of a respected, growing brand trusted by top architects and designers
