Summer Interior Designer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Interior Designer

Our client is a high-end residential interior design studio creating timeless, deeply personal homes. They are a people-first business - clients trust them with their homes and their stories, and they deliver an experience that feels as considered as the spaces they design. They work end-to-end, from concept and construction documentation through sourcing, procurement, and white-glove installation and styling.

Our client is seeking an Interior Designer to manage projects from concept through installation. This is a hands-on, full-lifecycle role for a designer who is equally confident drafting in CAD, reviewing construction drawings on-site, sourcing furnishings, and managing complete FF&E schedules.

• Build and manage comprehensive FF&E schedules and coordinate with procurement teams to finalize purchasing details.

• Develop concept boards, material palettes, and presentation packages that effectively communicate design vision to clients.

• Manage project timelines, budgets, and vendor relationships while maintaining clear communication with all stakeholders.

• Support installation and styling activities to ensure projects are completed to a high standard and are photo-ready.

• 3+ years of residential interior design experience, preferably within a high-end or custom residential design environment.

• Strong CAD proficiency (AutoCAD and/or similar platforms) with the ability to independently create detailed, construction-ready drawing sets.

• Hands-on construction experience with the ability to read, interpret, and redline drawings and work comfortably on active job sites.

• Proven sourcing expertise with strong knowledge of vendors, trade resources, and quality furnishings and finishes.

• Full-cycle FF&E experience including specification, procurement, tracking, delivery, and installation coordination.

• Exceptional organizational and project management skills with strong attention to detail.

• Excellent communication and client relationship management abilities.

• Degree in Interior Design, Architecture, or a related field preferred; equivalent professional experience will be considered.

• Experience with 3D rendering and visualization tools such as SketchUp, Revit, Enscape, or similar software.

• Familiarity with design management and procurement platforms such as Programa or Notion.

• Knowledge of Arizona construction practices, local trades, building codes, and permitting processes.

• Full-time, hybrid position.

• Combination of remote work, project site visits, showroom visits, client meetings, and team collaboration.

• Arizona-based candidates preferred with availability for regular in-person meetings and site visits.

• Saturday installation availability required (approximately one installation per quarter), with a compensatory Monday off following installation weekends.
