    Company Overview

    RentQuest is a NYC-based full-service furniture and prop rental company specializing in custom-built, one-of-a-kind pieces for events, brand activations, and experiential design. From fashion shows and product launches to luxury social events, we help bring creative visions to life with elevated design and high-end inventory.

    We are proud to be a preferred vendor for top planners, brands, and venues across New York—and we’re now expanding.

    About the Role

    We are seeking a driven, entrepreneurial, and highly motivated individual to build and grow our presence in Connecticut and the greater New England market.

    This is not just a sales role—this is an opportunity to own a territory, develop relationships, and become the go-to resource for event professionals in the region.

    We are looking for someone who already has relationships in the Connecticut or New England event market—or is excited to quickly build them.

    The ideal candidate thrives working independently, loves networking, and is excited by the challenge of building something from the ground up.

    What You’ll Do

    Develop and grow the Connecticut / New England market through proactive outreach and relationship-building

    Build strong partnerships with event planners, venues, production companies, and brands

    Identify new business opportunities and convert leads into long-term clients

    Meet and exceed revenue goals for the region

    Represent RentQuest at industry events, networking opportunities, and client meetings

    Create and present custom furniture + décor packages tailored to client needs

    Collaborate with internal teams to execute events seamlessly

    Attend key events on-site to support clients and strengthen relationships

    Maintain ongoing communication with clients before, during, and after events

    Who You Are

    A self-starter who is comfortable working independently and taking initiative

    Highly motivated with a strong sales mindset and proven track record

    Passionate about events, design, and hospitality

    A natural relationship builder who enjoys connecting with people

    Organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple projects

    Comfortable in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment

    Entrepreneurial spirit—you think like an owner, not an employee

    Requirements

    Sales experience required (event industry experience is a huge plus)

    Strong communication and interpersonal skills

    Ability to travel throughout Connecticut, New England, and New York as needed

    Must be willing to travel to our NYC office a minimum of 4 times per month, in addition to scheduling client meetings, visiting job sites in NYC, and occasionally working from our NYC showroom

    Flexible schedule (occasional evenings/weekends for events)

    Bachelor’s Degree preferred

    Compensation OTE: $65,000 – $80,000+ (Base + Commission)

    Why This Role is Exciting

    Opportunity to build and lead a new market

    Be a key part of a growing, design-forward company

    Access to a unique, high-end product line

    Work with top-tier clients in events, fashion, and branding

    Your ideas and input will directly impact growth
