B2B Sales Specialist

Pay rate is $24/hour.

Overview:

At Wayfair, we’re transforming the way businesses shop for their spaces—and as an in-store B2B Sales Specialist, you’ll be on the front lines of that mission. This isn’t your typical sales role. You’ll act as a trusted partner to local businesses, helping them discover the power of Wayfair Professional and our in-store design expertise. Whether it’s a boutique hotel redesign, a new office buildout, or ongoing projects for local contractors, such as Interior Designers, you’ll be their go-to guide for all things Wayfair.

This role blends sales development, community building, and hands-on customer support. You’ll grow our professional customer base by connecting with new prospects, activating and growing business from existing accounts, and working closely with in-store teams to bring large-scale projects to life. At Wayfair, we believe in hustle and heart—and in this role, you’ll find both.

Ready to drive impact, grow your pipeline, and help businesses bring their visions to life? Let’s make it happen.
