Job Summary

Tailored Solutions (TS) is a strategic enabler for Haworth that unlocks sales volume that would otherwise not be available. About 12% of North American sales volumes comes through Tailored Solutions, and the prevailing conventional wisdom is that TS sales “pull through” an equivalent amount of standard product sales, which means we influence about 25% of the overall sales volume. We work in a fast paced and dynamic environment with a variety of dealers, suppliers, and manufacturing partners across a wide range of products. In this role, the member will execute designs (including CAD and BOM deliverables) for newly ordered Tailored Solutions.
