Role Overview :

We are looking for an experienced and visionary Principal Designer to lead high-value residential design projects at HomeLane. This role goes beyond project execution — it requires design leadership, client strategy, revenue ownership, and mentorship of junior designers.

As a Principal Designer, you will manage premium customers end-to-end — from consultation and concept development to order booking and production alignment — ensuring exceptional design quality, commercial success, and superior customer satisfaction.

This role demands strong design expertise, site and execution knowledge, stakeholder management skills, and the ability to handle complex, high-ticket projects independently.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own and lead a portfolio of high-value HomeLane customers from first consultation through order booking and final design sign-off.
• Translate client requirements into innovative, functional, and premium design solutions aligned with budget and feasibility.
• Drive revenue by confidently presenting, influencing, and closing design proposals.
• Create accurate quotations, detailed concepts, and production-ready drawings for manufacturing.
• Ensure designs are technically sound and installation-friendly with minimal site escalations.
• Proactively identify and resolve client concerns and execution challenges.
• Coordinate closely with production, operations, and installation teams for seamless delivery.
• Mentor and guide junior designers, ensuring design excellence and best practices.
• Contribute to process improvements and uphold HomeLane’s design and quality standards.

Required Expertise & Qualifications

• Minimum 5+ year Degree in Interior Designing or Architecture from a reputed institution.
• Strong hands-on site experience with deep understanding of installation feasibility and execution challenges. Proven experience handling premium residential interior projects.
• Strong commercial acumen with the ability to drive conversions and manage high-value customers.
• Proficiency in Google SketchUp (mandatory); working knowledge of rendering tools such as Enscape or V-Ray will be an added advantage.
• Strong knowledge of space planning, modular furniture systems, materials, and production processes.
• Highly customer-centric mindset with the ability to balance design, functionality, timelines, and budget.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and stakeholder management skills.
• Fluency in English is mandatory; knowledge of the local language is an added advantage.
