OPERATIONS & DESIGN COORDINATOR

Position Overview

Eclectic Home is seeking an organized, proactive, and highly detail-oriented Operations & Design Coordinator to support the VP of Operations across both our showroom and interior design business. This is a hands-on position for someone who enjoys being involved in the day-to-day operations of a creative business and can move comfortably between administrative, showroom, vendor, and design-related responsibilities. The ideal candidate is highly organized, takes initiative, communicates well, follows through, and enjoys solving problems. They will work closely with the VP of Operations and the design team to help ensure that the showroom, projects, orders, vendors, and daily operations are running efficiently.

Key Responsibilities

Operations & Administrative Support

Provide day-to-day support to the VP of Operations across showroom and design operations. Assist with scheduling, coordination, follow-up, and organization of ongoing activities. Track outstanding tasks, orders, deliveries, vendor communications, and other operational details. Help develop and maintain organized systems and processes that improve efficiency. Communicate with vendors, clients, installers, and other partners as needed. Identify issues before they become problems and proactively follow through toward resolution. Assist with general office and operational responsibilities as needed.

Showroom Operations

Support the daily operation and presentation of the showroom. Assist with merchandising, displays, product organization, and showroom changes. Coordinate incoming merchandise, deliveries, receiving, and product movement. Help maintain accurate product information and vendor records. Assist with showroom events, market activities, and special projects. Ensure the showroom remains organized, welcoming, and reflective of the Eclectic Home aesthetic.

Design & Project Support

Provide administrative and operational support to the design team. Assist with product research, sourcing, pricing, availability, and lead-time information. Help track furnishings, finishes, orders, samples, and project-related information. Communicate with vendors regarding pricing, availability, lead times, orders, and deliveries. Assist with preparing materials for client presentations and design meetings. Support installations and project-related logistics when needed. Maintain accurate project information and assist with follow-up throughout the design and procurement process.

Team Support

Work collaboratively with designers, showroom staff, vendors, and leadership. Help ensure information is communicated effectively between the showroom, design studio, and operations. Provide additional support for team members during busy periods and special projects. Be willing to take ownership of tasks and see them through to completion.

Qualifications

• Previous experience in interior design, showroom operations, retail, project coordination, purchasing, or a related field preferred.
• Strong organizational and time-management skills.
• Exceptional attention to detail and follow-through.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Comfortable communicating professionally with vendors, clients, and team members.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and changing deadlines.
• Familiarity with design software, including AutoCAD, is a plus but not necessarily required.
• Interior design education or experience is preferred, but this is not a traditional designer position.
• A proactive, positive, and solutions-oriented approach.
• Ability to work independently while also functioning effectively as part of a team.

The Right Person

We are looking for someone who is organized, resourceful, curious, and naturally takes ownership. This person should enjoy being the person who keeps things moving—following up on the vendor email, checking on the order, making sure the showroom is ready, helping the designer find what they need, and noticing what needs to happen next. The position requires someone who is comfortable working in a creative environment while also appreciating the importance of structure, accountability, and operational detail. This is an opportunity for someone who wants to become an integral part of a growing design and retail business and have visibility into many aspects of the company.
