This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, design-focused environment and is confident in taking initiative, managing their workflow, and delivering thoughtful, high-quality design solutions with minimal oversight.

With 7+ years of experience, you bring a refined design eye and the ability to take ownership of FF&E packages—from concept through to installation. You’re proactive, organized, resourceful, and passionate about curating beautiful, timeless environments that elevate the everyday.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead FF&E design development for specific project areas with confidence and independence while aligning with the broader project vision.
• Source and specify furnishings, finishes, lighting, textiles, accessories, and artwork with precision and creativity.
• Prepare detailed FF&E schedules, specification documents, mood boards, and presentation packages.
• Liaise directly with suppliers and fabricators, managing sample procurement and tracking.
• Collaborate with the broader team to ensure seamless integration of FF&E with architectural elements and interiors.
• 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.

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a studio that values autonomy, creativity, and design excellence.
• Work on award-winning, design-led projects with a global reach.
• Collaborative, respectful environment that encourages professional growth and initiative.
• Competitive compensation and benefits tailored to experience.
