• Assist in managing procurement processes and maintaining project timelines and budgets
• Attend client meetings, showroom visits, and site installations, representing the design intent with clarity and professionalism
• Stay ahead of design trends and product developments, continuously expanding your knowledge and resources

Qualifications & Skills:

• Degree-qualified in Interior Design, Interior Architecture, or a related field
• Minimum of 7 years’ experience working on luxury residential and hospitality interiors
• Proven ability to work independently and drive FF&E design from start to finish
• Strong creative and technical knowledge of materials, finishes, furnishings, and custom design
• Excellent time management and organizational skills — juggling multiple projects with minimal supervision
• Proficiency in design software such as AutoCAD, InDesign, Photoshop, and Excel; knowledge of procurement tracking tools is a plus
• Confident communicator, both internally and in client/vendor interactions
• Strong sense of accountability, initiative, and pride in delivering polished, well-resolved work
