Job description

We are seeking a creative, detail-oriented individual to support our Interior Design team and SIMPLESTYLED service through the styling and installation phases of projects. This is a part-time, project-based position based in Phoenix, Arizona with occasional travel.

The Stylist + Install Assistant collaborates with our design team to stage and install decor and accessories, ensuring every project reflects our signature Organic Desert Living® aesthetic.

This role combines hands-on work (install days, styling, errands) with behind-the-scenes coordination (prep, sourcing, and set-up), helping bring our design visions to life from concept to completion.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist the design team during installations by unloading, moving, unpacking, and organizing decor, art, greenery, textiles, bedding, and accessories.
• Prepare for installs by creating binders, cleaning guides, and printed design boards.
• Execute hands-on styling — arranging pillows and throws, hanging art, curating vignettes, and refining spatial layouts to align with the design vision.
• Collaborate with the team to ensure smooth installations, from setup to final cleanup.
• Be a team player — “YES” is the answer, “WHAT” is the question.
• Maintain and organize accessory inventories, styling kits, and decor storage while tracking returns and damages.
• Support behind the scenes by assisting with photo shoot prep, social media, and marketing styling as needed.
• Communicate effectively with designers, vendors, and contractors to ensure timelines and details are met.
• Take ownership of assigned tasks and demonstrate accountability through follow-up and execution.
• Uphold the firm’s brand, values, and design aesthetic through all interactions and on-site work.

Skills & Qualifications

While this outlines the core qualifications, all team members are expected to be hands‑on and willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done and help the company thrive.

• Proven experience in home decor styling — ideally in interior design, retail, or a similar creative environment.
• Strong visual eye with sensitivity to scale, texture, layering, and composition.
• Physical capability to lift, move, and position furnishings and decor items; comfortable working on‑site and under deadlines.
• Highly organized with strong time‑management and multitasking abilities.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; able to collaborate seamlessly with designers, vendors, and clients.
• Detail‑oriented — every element placed with intention to create a polished, cohesive result.
• Valid driver’s license and reliable vehicle.
• Flexible availability for early mornings, travel, or extended install days.
• Positive, team‑focused attitude with a great sense of humor.
• Eat, sleep, and breathe Organic Desert Living®.
• Boundless energy, creativity, and a drive to see tasks through with excellence.
• And last but not least… a complete Styling ROCKSTAR!

Preferred Experience

• Accessory styling, home staging, or decor installation experience.
• Familiarity with current design trends and trade vendors.
• Comfortable with basic digital tools (spreadsheets, photo documentation, inventory management).
• Thrives in a fast‑paced, dynamic environment and can adapt quickly on install days.

What to Expect

• A mix of office/prep work and on‑site styling and installation days.
• A hands‑on role where you’ll help bring design concepts to life in their final, tangible form.
• Collaboration with a passionate team of designers, vendors, and clients under real‑world timelines.
• The satisfaction of seeing a finished space that reflects your care, creativity, and attention to detail.
