Product Design Assistant information

What does a product design assistant do?

A Product Design Assistant supports the product design team in developing new products or enhancing existing ones. Their tasks often include creating sketches or prototypes, conducting research on materials and trends, preparing presentation materials, and assisting with administrative duties. They collaborate closely with designers, engineers, and marketing teams to ensure ideas are accurately translated from concept to production. This entry-level role is ideal for those looking to gain hands-on experience in the design process while learning from experienced professionals.

What are some common challenges faced by product design assistants when collaborating with cross-functional teams?

Product Design Assistants often work closely with graphic designers, engineers, marketers, and product managers. A common challenge is balancing input from multiple stakeholders while ensuring the design vision remains consistent and practical. Managing feedback, prioritizing tasks, and adapting to shifting project requirements are key aspects of the role. Strong communication and organization skills help Product Design Assistants navigate these challenges and contribute effectively to the team's success.

In contrast, the Product Designer takes the lead on creating and finalizing product concepts. While both roles require design knowledge, the assistant focuses on support tasks, whereas the designer handles core design responsibilities.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a product design assistant, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Product Design Assistant, you need a foundational understanding of design principles, proficiency in design software (such as Adobe Creative Suite or Sketch), and often a relevant degree or coursework in design. Familiarity with prototyping tools, CAD software, and digital asset management systems is typically expected. Strong attention to detail, creativity, and effective communication skills help you collaborate with design teams and contribute original ideas.

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. We are moving the brand beyond curating and selling products to conceptualizing and selling spaces by building an ecosystem of products, places, services and spaces that elevates and establishes the RH brand as a global thought leader, taste and place maker.

At RH we believe deeply that the "right" people are our greatest asset. We value people with high energy, who possess the ability to energize others. People who are smart, creative and have a point of view. People who see the answer in every problem, versus those who see the problem in every answer. People who are driven, determined and won't take "no" for an answer. We value team players, people who are more concerned with what's right, rather than who's right.

We are designers, not decorators. That distinction means that we look at a project in the context of the entire space, or the whole, rather than as parts or components. RH designers understand the art and science of lifestyle, environment and taste to create a functional, beautiful and personal space. We provide luxury design services for the reimagining of one room or an entire home, anywhere in the world. Our designers embody the RH lifestyle and a sense of personal style, polished appearance, refined taste and a discerning eye for luxury.

Design Assistants play an integral role in supporting key phases of a design project's lifecycle in collaboration and partnership with RH Interior Design. They are innovators with an entrepreneurial spirit and a passion for building and maintaining relationships.

  • Produce brand appropriate presentations; communicating design concepts, space planning and product selections
  • Provide product expertise and elevated client service
  • Represent the RH lifestyle brand through polished communication, personal appearance and professionalism
  • Maintain a strong interest in the luxury and design industry
  • Support the visual and quality standards within the Gallery

OUR REQUIREMENTS

  • Art, Architecture or Interior Design education preferred
  • Experience within a design firm or high-end furniture and luxury retail preferred

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS

  • Licensed to drive preferred
  • Ability to travel locally or out of state
  • Ability to lift and mobilize small to medium items, up to 25 lbs. while utilizing appropriate equipment and safety techniques
