Interior Design Associate - London

Interior Design Associate - Ennismore London

Looking to become a crucial part of our international, award-winning Interior Design team? Now is the time – we’re looking for talented Interior Design Associate to join us.

Creativity is the heartbeat that runs through everything we do to excite and inspire our guests. It’s an amazing opportunity to shape the beautiful interiors of our hospitality spaces.

We’re looking for someone to take the lead on our luxury sector, which currently includes overseeing all refurbishment projects at the prestigious Gleneagles Hotel, a huge project we embarked on 3 years ago. You’ll also have the opportunity to pick up the reigns on project delivery for our first ever private members club in Mayfair, and our next successive club and townhouse offer in Edinburgh.

What you’ll do…

• Build and lead a team as required to deliver the projects allocated to you. You’ll manage designers from junior to senior levels, supporting your team and inspiring them to think creatively and strategically about challenges and limitations within the project realm. You’ll be responsible for your team's deliverables and managing their workload
• Think proactively about the team and the design process, seek out new inspiration sources, challenge the norm and be at the forefront of hospitality design
• Lead and inspire high quality design documentation from concept generation through tender to construction documentation
• Work closely with the Design Director and the FF&E Associate at the concept stage and throughout the design documentation process to collectively deliver a cohesive project
• Be a positive role model to your team, rolling up your sleeves and getting stuck into the detail
• Work with the rest of the business, challenge decisions and think creatively about new Ennismore opportunities at the feasibility stage
• Build brand design standards for the hotels and projects under your umbrella
• Work closely with the development team to coordinate construction costs and budgets

You’ll be an integral part of the Architecture, Design and Development teams, based at Ennismore

Sessions House in London; you’ll travel frequently, for short durations, to Europe and further afield when needed.

What we’re looking for…

• A meticulous designer with an eye for detail and an interest in high end hospitality projects
• You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other and has fun along the way
• Join one of the fastest-growing companies in the UK
• Regular team get togethers, from our weekly drinks to our (pretty special!) bi-annual parties…we know how to have a good time!
• Commercial awareness, an ability to deliver quality within the constraints of realistic budgets
• Comfortable working in a client capacity, making sensible decisions for the good of the business
• Someone highly organised and able to juggle multiple projects effectively with a positive attitude
• An excellent relationship builder, comfortable leading and motivating others and influencing with and without authority; a confident communicator who inspires trust
• A natural mentor, you know how to create an environment that allows people to be themselves and gets the best out of them
• Individuals. You’re looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in suits here
• Passion for hospitality – whether that’s a drink, a meal, an event or a bed for the night
• You’re all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience
• You’re not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get shit done
• You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once
• If we got stuck in a lift together we’d have a good time and share a few laughs

What’s in it for you…

• 25 days holiday (and bank holidays), plus pension, a competitive salary and nifty rewards for going the extra mile and living our values
• Excellent discounts across the entire Ennismore family for you and your nearest and dearest (even after you leave!)
• Plenty of opportunity to progress and change it up across a diverse, global family of brands
• Training and Development that helps you think, make and thrive at work
• Free lunch before payday as a treat at the end of the month
• Time off to volunteer with one of our partner charities
