About Workwarp – Pioneering the Future of Home‑Improvement Design
Workwarp is a leading digital‑first retailer that blends cutting‑edge technology with timeless craftsmanship to empower homeowners, builders, and interior designers to create beautiful spaces from anywhere in the country. Our mission is to make the process of selecting, customizing, and ordering millwork—doors, windows, and related architectural elements—as easy and inspiring as browsing a boutique showroom, but with the convenience of a fully virtual experience. With a rapidly expanding remote workforce, we are looking for energetic, customer‑obsessed professionals who thrive in a collaborative, technology‑driven environment.
Why This Role Is a Game‑Changer
The Remote Millwork Virtual Design & Apron Specialist sits at the intersection of design expertise, consultative selling, and exceptional customer service. You will be the trusted advisor who transforms a simple product inquiry into a meticulously designed solution that matches a client’s aesthetic, functional, and budgetary requirements. This is not just a sales role—it is a design partnership that influences the look and feel of homes across the nation.
Core Mission & Purpose
Your primary purpose is to deliver a differentiated, high‑touch experience that:
- Guides customers through the entire millwork selection journey—from inspiration to final quote.
- Leverages advanced configurator tools (myCD, ESVS) to visualize custom doors and windows in real time.
- Builds long‑term relationships with store associates, trade partners, and end‑users by offering expert advice and follow‑up support.
- Drives revenue growth by turning inquiries into qualified, high‑value orders while maintaining brand integrity.
Key Responsibilities and Day‑to‑Day Impact

- Technical Support (30%): Assist associates and customers in navigating the myCD configurator, ensuring proper specification entry, material selection, and pricing alignment. Resolve configuration challenges quickly to keep the sales cycle moving.
- Quotation & Order Management (10%): Prepare detailed, itemized quotes for custom projects, process payments securely, and coordinate hand‑offs to the Professional Services team for final installation planning.
- Continuous Improvement: Capture feedback from every interaction, identify recurring knowledge gaps, and collaborate with product and training teams to refine scripts, FAQs, and visual assets.
- Travel (5‑20% overnight): Participate in regional training sessions, trade shows, and on‑site visits to deepen product expertise and strengthen relationships with key retail partners.
