Job description

High-End Residential Interior Design Studio

Cheshire (On-Site) | 3-4 days per week initially

Freelance / Fixed-Term (with potential to become permanent)

RMD is a friendly, founder-led interior design studio based in Cheshire, specialising in high-end residential new builds and major renovations across the UK.

We work with wonderful private clients and some of the best suppliers and craftspeople in the industry. Our projects are design-led, detailed and carefully considered and we are now looking for a highly organised, proactive Operations & Procurement Coordinator to join our small, collaborative team.

If you enjoy being part of the interior design industry and like bringing structure and organisation to busy creative environments, this is a fantastic opportunity to sit at the heart of a growing studio.

The Role

This is a varied studio-based position combining procurement coordination, office administration and light executive support. You will work closely with our Finance & Commercial Lead and design team to help keep projects organised, documented and progressing smoothly.

Day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Raising and tracking purchase orders
• Liaising with suppliers and coordinating deliveries
• Maintaining procurement trackers and organised digital records
• Supporting the smooth running of the studio and its systems
• Managing and maintaining Microsoft 365 filing structures
• Acting as liaison with our external IT support
• Providing light PA support where needed

This role supports and works alongside our Finance & Commercial Lead, with scope to develop confidence and responsibility over time.

Experience & Skills

We are looking for someone who:

• Has previous experience in procurement and administration.
• Is highly organised and detail-focused
• Is confident using Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Excel, Teams, SharePoint/OneDrive)
• Is comfortable managing digital filing systems
• Communicates professionally with suppliers and external partners
• Experience in an interior design, construction or project-based environment would be beneficial, as would familiarity with Harvest or Houzz Pro, but this is not essential.

The Opportunity

You will be joining a welcoming, supportive team and working alongside experienced designers on beautiful residential projects. The role offers the chance to be part of the creative process while ensuring the operational side of the business runs smoothly.

Initially offered on a freelance or fixed-term basis (3-4 days per week), with potential to develop into a longer-term role as the business continues to grow.
