Job description

Who We Are…

We are a collection of members' clubs, restaurants, hotels and cinemas, catering to those in the film, media, fashion and creative industries. The company has unique ventures throughout the UK, USA, Canada, Europe and Asia, with new openings planned globally.

Soho House is a space for its diverse membership and teams to connect, grow, have fun and make an impact.

Soho Home is a modern interiors brand designed for relaxed, sociable living. With more than 25 years of design heritage, the range was created to mirror the look and feel of our Soho Houses around the world.

The brand was born when our guests began asking if they could buy their favourite pieces from around the Houses. We launched with our Barwell crystal glassware back in 2016, and since then have evolved from a small collection of staples into a diverse interiors brand that includes furniture, tableware, accessories, lighting, home fragrance, and textiles.

Opportunities for all…

Soho House was created to bring diverse communities of people together, and we take the same approach when building our teams. We thrive on differences and believe it is critical to our success as a global company. Soho House is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace that seeks to recruit, develop and retain the most talented people from a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills.
