We are working with a growing, design-led furniture and lighting consultancy delivering projects across hospitality, workplace, residential and leisure.

They are now looking for an Account Manager to take ownership of a portfolio of clients, deliver projects and develop long-term commercial relationships.
The Role
This is a client-facing position combining account management, furniture specification, commercial responsibility and project ownership.
You will work closely with clients from the early stages of a brief through to final delivery, helping translate design intent into solutions that are commercially viable, well considered and deliverable.

Confident preparing quotations, specifications and proposals.
Proactive and comfortable making decisions.
A clear and personable communicator.
Detail-focused without losing sight of the wider commercial objective.
Interested in responsible sourcing and how the design industry can operate more sustainably.
The Opportunity
This is a strong opportunity for someone already working within the furniture industry who wants greater ownership of clients, projects and commercial outcomes.
You will be joining an ambitious, design-conscious business where good taste, commercial thinking and strong client relationships are equally important.
The commission structure is designed to reward performance:
Base salary: £45,000
OTE: c.£80,000 at 100% of target

We are working with a highly regarded, independent commercially minded design-led furniture consultancy looking for an Associate Director to lead its marketing function and help shape the next stage of the business.
Working across workplace, residential and emerging sectors, the company collaborates with leading architects, interior designers and global organisations to deliver some of the most considered furniture projects in the industry.
They already have the projects, reputation and relationships. The opportunity is to ensure the business presents itself with equal strength.
This is a senior, hands-on leadership role for someone who combines brand thinking, creative judgment, and commercial awareness with the ability to deliver results.
You will lead and develop an established marketing team while owning the company’s wider marketing strategy, brand positioning, and external communications.
This is not a role for someone who wants to sit above the work and delegate.
You will be expected to set the direction, generate ideas, make decisions and work alongside the team to deliver them.
The remit is broad: brand, website, social media, project storytelling, photography, editorial content, events, partnerships, credentials, tenders and major client presentations.
Everything the company puts into the world should reflect the quality of the work it delivers.
Furniture industry experience would be useful, but it is not essential.
You could come from furniture, architecture, interiors, property, hospitality, fashion, a design-led product company, a creative consultancy, or another sector where brand, aesthetics, and commercial thinking intersect.
More important is your judgement, personality and ability to lead.
You are likely to be:
This is a chance to have real influence in a well-established, respected design business.
The foundations are already there: great clients, excellent projects, strong relationships and real credibility within the design industry.
They are now looking for someone who can bring it together, sharpen how the business communicates, and help define how it is perceived over the coming years.
