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
