• - Assist with furniture and product specifications aligned with client goals, budgets and project requirements.
• - Collaborate with design teams, account managers and vendor partners to develop cohesive workplace solutions.
• - Prepare client-facing presentations, mood boards, renderings and design documentation.

Project Coordination & Execution

• - Manage project timelines, schedules, deliverables and follow-up tasks across multiple projects.
• - Coordinate communication between internal teams, vendors, installers and clients to support project alignment.
• - Monitor project milestones and proactively identify potential risks or delays.
• - Assist with order coordination, project documentation, meeting notes and implementation tracking.
• - Support installation planning, punch-list coordination and project closeout activities.
• - Travel to client locations for field reviews, site coordination and project support during various phases of project execution.
• - Support account managers by preparing materials, coordinating meetings and responding to client requests.
• - Build trusted working relationships through professionalism, responsiveness and solution-oriented communication.

• - Experience coordinating projects involving multiple stakeholders, timelines and competing priorities.
• - Excellent written, verbal and presentation communication skills.
• - Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
• - Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• - Ability to balance creative thinking with operational execution.
• - Comfortable conducting site visits, field measurements and working in active client environments.
