About You
The most important qualities for this role are accuracy, organisation and a willingness to learn.
You will need to be comfortable managing detailed and often technically complex projects. Small errors can have significant consequences, so you should naturally check your work and take pride in getting the details right.
- Experience producing quotations, estimates or project schedules
- The ability to read and understand architectural drawings
- Strong numerical skills and excellent attention to detail
- Confidence managing several live projects and orders at once
- A clear, professional and friendly telephone and email manner
- The confidence to answer questions and independently find information
- Strong organisational and follow‑up skills
- A proactive, practical and self‑sufficient approach
- A genuine interest in furniture, interiors, architecture or design
- The ability to work collaboratively within a small, close‑knit team
You do not need to know every furniture brand in the market. However, you must be willing to develop in‑depth knowledge of the company’s products and become a reliable source of information for clients and project partners.
Additional Experience That Would Be Valuable
Previous experience within commercial furniture, workplace interiors, architectural products, acoustics or the wider design industry would be advantageous, although it is not essential.
- Furniture or architectural product specification
- Interior, furniture or product design
- Adobe InDesign or Photoshop
- Website or digital content management
- Sample library coordination
- Supporting exhibitions, installations or design events
- Working with architects, dealers, contractors or interior designers
Why Consider This Role?
This is an opportunity to join a respected design business where your contribution will be visible and genuinely valued.
You will work across furniture, materials and large‑scale architectural projects, gaining exposure to respected international brands and some of the UK’s leading architecture and design practices.
The breadth of the position also offers considerably more project ownership and product involvement than a typical sales support or administrative role.
The company is hoping to appoint someone during September, with the opportunity for a structured handover with the current coordinator towards the end of the month.
