• a solid network of existing supplier relationships, plus a curiosity and drive to discover new ones (from artisans to established luxury brands)
• highly organised and self-motivated, with the ability to manage your own workflow and contribute positively to a collaborative studio environment
• exceptional attention to detail and ability to manage multiple project timelines
• proficiency in Adobe InDesign, Google Sheets for FF&E boards, layouts and schedules
• a refined design sensibility and thorough knowledge of luxury materials, finishes, and contemporary design culture
• fluent English; (German is not required) French, Italian and Spanish is a bonus

Responsibilities:

• lead FF&E sourcing, sampling, and specification across international hospitality and interior projects
• create and manage detailed FF&E schedules, costings, and procurement trackers
• prepare, issue and manage instructions to manufacturers and subcontractors
• maintain and expand supplier and materials databases, including physical materials library
• provide input on suitable FF&E options during concept development and project planning
• liaise with suppliers and logistics teams to ensure timely, high-quality delivery and installations
• monitor quality control throughout development and on-site phases
• support the Creative Director and design team in all FF&E-related aspects of project delivery
• respond quickly to any ad hoc FF&E issues, questions or changes during the course of a project

What we offer:

• a four-day work week (32 hours) with flexible hours and hybrid working
• a creative, progressive and supportive studio culture where everyone’s voice is valued
• the opportunity to work on ambitious, globally recognised design projects
