Job description

RH at its core is about taste, and we believe the idea of scaling taste is large and far reaching. 

The RH brand attracts the best designers, artisans, manufacturers and talent in our industry, scaling and rendering their work more valuable across our integrated platform, enabling us to curate the most compelling collection of luxury home furnishings in the world.

  • Maintain a strong interest in the luxury and Design industry
  • Support visual and quality standards within the Gallery

OUR REQUIREMENTS

  • Experience within a Design firm or high-end furniture and luxury retail preferred
