RYE is a Danish furniture company specialising in high-quality furniture for the bedroom, with a particular focus on bed frames, mattresses, and related furniture products. Our furniture is designed and produced in Denmark, and we work with selected retailers, professional project clients, hospitality partners, architects, interior designers, and selected direct customer channels.

We are looking for a structured and commercially minded US Market Development Coordinator to support and develop RYE’s commercial activities in the United States. The role is based in Denmark, but the primary focus will be on the U.S. market.

The position has been established as part of RYE’s strategic ambition to strengthen its presence and commercial opportunities in the United States. The U.S. is an important growth market for RYE, and we see a need for a dedicated internal resource with knowledge of American business culture, customer communication, sales processes, and stakeholder management.

About the role

As US Market Development Coordinator, you will support the development of RYE’s commercial activities in the United States. You will help identify and follow up on new business opportunities, coordinate communication with potential and existing partners, support sales and marketing activities, and ensure that relevant market-related documentation and follow-up processes are handled in a structured and professional way.

The role involves communication with different types of stakeholders, including retailers, interior designers, architects, hospitality clients, project clients, and other relevant business partners. You will help translate RYE’s Danish design, craftsmanship, and furniture profile into concrete commercial opportunities in the U.S. market.

The position requires strong communication skills, a structured approach to coordination and follow-up, and an understanding of American customer expectations, business culture, and professional relationship-building.

Key responsibilities

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Identifying and researching potential business opportunities in the United States

• Supporting outreach to retailers, showrooms, architects, interior designers, hospitality clients, and other relevant partners

• Building and maintaining professional relationships with existing and potential U.S.-based stakeholders

• Supporting sales processes, customer communication, and commercial follow-up related to the U.S. market

• Coordinating market-related documentation, product information, presentations, and sales material

• Supporting marketing and communication activities targeted at American customers and partners

• Assisting with project-related communication for hospitality, residential, and professional interior projects

• Supporting internal coordination between sales, marketing, product, logistics, and management in relation to the U.S. market

• Helping ensure that communication, documentation, and follow-up are adapted to American business culture and customer expectations

• Assisting with administrative and process-related tasks connected to market entry, partner communication, and commercial development in the United States

Your profile

We are looking for a candidate with strong interpersonal skills, a structured working style, and a clear understanding of American business culture and customer communication.

• Interior design, hospitality, events, or lifestyle-related industries

• Project coordination or stakeholder management

• Professional communication with clients, partners, or commercial stakeholders

• Administrative coordination, documentation, and structured follow-up

Experience from the U.S. market or direct knowledge of American business culture is considered highly relevant. Experience from hospitality, events, or high-end customer service is also relevant, as the role involves communication with professional clients, project stakeholders, and partners in design-led and service-oriented segments.

The right candidate is proactive, organised, commercially aware, and able to communicate professionally with different types of stakeholders. You should be comfortable working independently while also coordinating closely with colleagues across the company.
