East JR is seeking a sales designer to join its team in London.

East JR is hiring a sales designer to help us bring in and shape high-calibre projects across residential, F&B and luxury retail.

This is not a traditional design role. You won’t be stuck delivering projects end-to-end or buried in technical detail.

Instead, you’ll be at the front – meeting clients, shaping ideas, setting direction, and helping convert opportunities into built work.

The role

You’ll sit at the intersection of sales, design and brand.

Your job is to:

• bring in and convert high-value projects across residential, hospitality (F&B), and luxury retail
• lead early-stage conversations with clients and quickly build trust
• translate briefs into compelling, high-level design direction
• produce sharp, persuasive decks that capture the vision and sell what’s coming
• set the creative tone before handing projects to our design team or external collaborators
• occasionally develop interior concepts yourself where needed
• represent East JR externally – conversations, introductions, opportunities

You’ll work closely with the founder and have real influence from day one.

What we’re looking for:

• three to five plus years’ experience in interior design or a related field
• strong design instinct – you know what good looks like and can articulate it quickly
• commercial awareness and confidence in client-facing situations
• ability to build a narrative and sell an idea, not just present it
• comfortable producing decks quickly and consistently
• proactive, outgoing, and naturally persuasive
• someone who prefers momentum over perfection

What this role is not:

• not a purely technical or delivery role
• not suited to risk-averse or overly process-driven designers
• not for those who prefer to stay behind a desk

Why this role exists

We want someone who can:

• help us consistently attract and convert better projects
• elevate the brand through stronger early-stage thinking
• bring energy, personality, and sharp instincts into the business

What you’ll get:

• £45,000 base salary
• commission on sales + performance-based bonuses
• high level of autonomy – structure your time as needed
• opportunity to work directly with the founder
• a role focused on the most exciting part of the process: the beginning

Working style:

• flexible
• studio, home, on the road — whatever moves things forward
