Showroom Manager

When you see the world’s most inspiring homes and hotels, you invariably find Waterworks in the mix. For over 40 years, our designs have elevated the bath and kitchen experience, with exquisite fittings, fixtures, hardware and more. We strive to be participants in exceptional design moments not just through our products, but through how our company name shows up in the world at large.

What gives us an edge over our competitors is our people. We work in a highly collaborative, creative environment that values each team member’s contributions to our mission. We empower our associates with extensive training, career growth opportunities, competitive salaries, bonus potential and a comprehensive benefits package including medical/dental/vision, and 401k retirement savings plan. We offer a generous PTO program (vacation, personal and sick time) with additional perks like some summer half days and a volunteer day. The company observes at least 8 federal holidays throughout the calendar year plus a floating holiday that associates can use at their discretion.

Leaders champion the Waterworks values of a fearless sales strategy, customer-centric approach, integrity, and a passion for our products and the overall brand.

Step into Waterworks’ newly reimagined Georgetown showroom, an elevated, immersive space designed to showcase our distinctive product assortment and bring our design perspective to life. Serving the most discerning trade clients, Waterworks is known for collaborating on highly exclusive, design-driven projects that set the standard for craftsmanship and luxury.
