4. Liaise directly with suppliers and fabricators, managing sample procurement and tracking.
5. Collaborate with the broader team to ensure seamless integration of FF&E with architectural elements and interiors.
6. Assist in managing procurement processes and maintaining project timelines and budgets.
7. Attend client meetings, showroom visits, and site installations, representing the design intent with clarity and professionalism.
8. Stay ahead of design trends and product developments, continuously expanding your knowledge and resources.

Qualifications & Skills:

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