Senior Designer – Commercial Workplace D&B

London, Clerkenwell

£60,000–£65,000 + Commission (£75,000–£85,000 OTE)

I’m working with a growing D&B business on a genuinely exciting opportunity for a Senior Designer to join a brand new team.

This is a chance to get in at the start of something, helping shape both a team and its creative direction, across commercial fit-out and workplace projects from £2m to £20m. It’s a client-facing role where creativity, confidence and commercial awareness really count, and you’ll be trusted to own design conversations and turn briefs into well-considered, deliverable spaces.

What you’ll be doing:

• Leading the creative design process across commercial fit-out and workplace projects from £2m to £20m
• Developing strong design concepts in response to client briefs and project requirements
• Presenting ideas and design proposals confidently to clients and stakeholders
• Acting as a key client-facing point of contact throughout the design process
• Working closely with project, pre-construction and wider design teams to develop deliverable schemes
• Producing and developing designs using Revit
• Taking ownership of the design narrative from initial concept through to developed design
• Contributing creatively to pitches, presentations and new business opportunities
• Helping shape the culture, processes and creative direction of the new team

What’s on offer:

• £60,000–£65,000 + commission, £75,000–£85,000 OTE
• The chance to help build and shape a brand new team from the ground up
• Genuine ownership over the design narrative and creative direction
• A creative D&B studio going through an exciting period of growth

Requirements:

• Proven experience as a Senior Designer within commercial fit-out, workplace or a closely related environment
• Strong portfolio demonstrating creative workplace and commercial interiors
• Confident using Revit
• Comfortable presenting ideas and concepts directly to clients
• Commercially aware, with an understanding of how design decisions impact cost, programme and delivery
• Someone who wants to help build and shape a new team, not simply join an established structure

If you’re a creative Designer ready for the next step and want to help shape something from scratch, this one’s worth a chat.
