Job description

Project Manager | Design-Led Role Within Ultra-High-End Residential

There are roles where you manage projects.

And then there are roles where you sit at the centre of something far more considered.

Where every line drawn, every material selected, and every decision made carries weight; not just commercially, but creatively.

This is one of those roles.

Our client is a quietly established, design-led interior studio operating at the highest end of the private residential market. Their work spans London, Europe and the Middle East, delivering multi-million-pound homes where detail, craftsmanship and longevity are non-negotiable.

These are not fast-turnaround projects.

They are layered, complex and deeply collaborative, often running over several years, with multiple stakeholders and moving parts.

And this is where you come in.

The Role | Where Design Meets Delivery

This position isn’t about sitting behind a programme.

It’s about becoming the link between vision and reality.

You will sit between the internal design team, external architects, contractors and client-side teams, ensuring that what is designed is properly understood, coordinated and ultimately delivered on site exactly as intended.

You are not just managing timelines.

You are protecting design intent.

From early-stage coordination through to final installation, you will be involved across the full lifecycle, resolving technical challenges, leading cross-team communication, and ensuring that every detail lands as it should.

It is hands‑on, fast-moving and requires someone who takes real ownership.

A Different Kind of Entry into Project Management

What makes this opportunity particularly interesting is who it is open to.

This is not limited to someone already holding a Project Manager title.

If you are currently a Senior Interior Designer or Interior Architect, and you have naturally found yourself:

• Leading coordination with contractors or consultants
• Managing packages, drawings or site queries

This is a genuine route into a fully‑fledged Project Manager role.

A move that does not take you away from design, but positions you closer to how it is delivered.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Exposure to high‑value private residential projects with global reach
• Involvement across both architectural detailing and FF&E
• Direct collaboration with senior leadership
• A role with real ownership, not a siloed function
• Long‑term, detail‑driven projects rather than quick‑turnover work
• A London‑based flagship project is now kicking off

This is a position where your input is visible, and your impact is felt.

What They’re Looking For

You will likely come from interiors, architecture or construction, with an appreciation for detail and a strong understanding of how projects come together in reality.

More importantly, you will be:

• Highly organised, structured and detail-driven
• Calm under pressure, with a solutions‑focused mindset
• Someone who takes responsibility and follows things through

Experience within high‑end or residential work is essential, but mindset and approach will carry equal weight.

The Practical Details

• £60,000 + discretionary bonus
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Pension
• Studio‑based role in South West London
• Monday to Friday, with an early Friday finish

Final Thought

This is not a volume‑driven environment.

It is a studio where projects are carefully considered, expectations are high, and the standard is consistent.

If you are looking to step into a role where you move closer to delivery, gain real responsibility and work on projects that genuinely stand apart, it is worth a conversation.
