Jolie Studio is looking for a senior interior designer to join its team in London.

Jolie is a leading interior design practice, with a broad range of clients in the hospitality and commercial sector, currently based in Manchester – but expanding to London.

Are you excited by the prospect of setting up a brand new design studio in London and helping us grow an overseas presence?

We focus on experience led design, tapping into all of the human senses to create meaningful and lasting spaces for our clients. At five year old, we have been listed as one of Dezeen’s top emerging design studios and have a host of awards under our belt. Our client list is growing, so this is an exciting opportunity to support the expansion of Jolie in London as we establish a new permanent studio in the city.

We are looking for a senior interior designer to join the team, to help build the business in the capital through creating great relationships with clients, suppliers and team members as well as delivering outstanding concept and pitch work, attending site meetings and developing the studio presence.

You will bring experience and supplier connections, have a wealth of material knowledge and be skilled in visualising your work for presentation. Your portfolio should demonstrate highly creative skills and technical ability, and you should be a great presenter and communicator.

You will be London based and have at least six plus years’ experience across all project phases from initial concept development to completion, and feel at ease working with onsite teams, architects, CGI artists, suppliers and contractors.

You will work efficiently within our processes, and join the founder and the creative director delivering pitch work.
