Start something Extraordinary...  We're looking for a Senior FF&E & Styling Designer who loves the details that make a space feel finished: the chair you want to sit in, the light that makes a corner feel warm, the object on the counter that makes someone smile.

You'll also own how that standard is kept up across our existing estate.

Build and maintain the brand's FF&E standards library, including approved furniture, lighting, finishes, accessories and styling guidelines. Prepare and manage FF&E schedules, specifications and procurement trackers, covering lead times, costs and deliveries. Carry out quality and finish checks during and after installation, and resolve last-minute issues calmly and creatively.
