Training and Development Business Partner

This position is an opportunity for the right candidate to strategically align the learning and development culture at American Furniture Warehouse with the needs of our employees and business. You can really make an impact in this role!

American Furniture Warehouse was founded in 1975 when Jabs purchased the struggling, 90-year-old American Furniture Company. Over the last four decades, we have expanded into a eighteen-store operation, and we are still expanding with stores being added in Arizona and Colorado.

Self-taught businessman and CEO Jake Jabs credits American Furniture Warehouse's success to "the basic American philosophies of hard work, long hours, self-confidence, the courage to take risks, the desire to give value and service to every customer as well as the passion for community service."

Headquartered in Englewood, Colorado, AFW is one of the top retail furniture companies in the U.S. with sales topping $1 billion in 2022 and more than 3,000 employees throughout Colorado, Arizona, and Texas. American Furniture Warehouse is one of the largest privately-held businesses in the state of Colorado.

Our workforce includes corporate, retail, warehouse, and logistics professionals.
