This is a leadership role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-design environment and is ready to take full ownership of FF&E strategy, execution, and team leadership. You’ll work closely with the studio principal, design director, and our furnishings lead (who oversees decor and procurement) to elevate our approach to product selection, materials, and finishes.
We’re looking for a sharp, deeply experienced creative force: someone deeply fluent in the language of luxury, highly organized, and decisive. You should bring strong design instincts, a solutions-oriented mindset, and the ability to guide a team with both vision and precision.
Our studio is growing quickly, and this role is a critical part of that growth. You’ll be stepping into a department with a solid foundation—built by two exceptional senior FF&E team members who recently transitioned to part-time as they raise young families. This position is designed to honor and expand their work by providing full-time leadership, structure, and creative direction.
-Have 8–10+ years of experience in high-end residential or hospitality design, with a strong emphasis on FF&E and materials
-Are fluent in plumbing, appliances, hardware, custom detailing, finishes, and sourcing
-Lead with clarity, confidence, and emotional intelligence
-Are highly proactive—bringing thoughtful solutions, not just insights
-Communicate clearly and collaborate effectively across disciplines
-Balance creative excellence with operational rigor
-This position is full time in-studio only.
We’re an interior design studio known for creating some of the most boundary-pushing, detail-driven homes in the country—and we’re seeking an experienced, design-savvy FF&E Manager to lead our furnishings and materials efforts across all projects.
