• Coordinate seamlessly with professional consultant teams throughout the project lifecycle.
• Provide excellent day‑to‑day client support, fostering strong and collaborative relationships.

What You’ll Need

• Proven experience as an all‑round design professional, ideally within workplace interior design.
• A strong understanding of workplace strategy processes and their practical application.
• Demonstrated knowledge of technical coordination and construction stages of design projects.
• Prior experience within industry‑leading workplace design firms or architectural studios.

• A valuable professional network and an interest in business development to support firm growth.

We believe the best work happens when we’re together, fostering creativity, collaboration, and connection. That’s why we’ve adopted a hybrid approach, with teams in the office around four days a week. If you require accommodations or flexibility, please discuss this with the hiring team during the interview process.
