Mid-Level Designer for Residential + Commercial Interior Design Firm

Title: Designer (Mid-level)

Reports to: Senior Designers + CEO

Location: Work from Home | San Francisco Bay Area

Company:

IDF Studio brings thoughtful, personalized style to residential and commercial clients in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. We aim to be a refreshing alternative to the typical “principal-based” interior design firm; we treat people like family and our projects are led by our various Lead Designers. We believe that honest problem-solving and great project management set our designers apart from the herd, resulting in winning projects that are both stylish and sincere.

Position:

The Designer is responsible for supporting all aspects of residential and commercial projects. You do NOT need extensive experience in both residential and commercial projects in order to apply, but both interest and some experience are ideal. We’re looking for that “triple threat” – someone who has a great sense of style, is an efficient project manager, and communicates well, leaving our clients wanting more!

Responsibilities include supporting our lead designers with space planning, sourcing, budgeting, vendor/contractor communication and coordination, and styling. You may also assist with or oversee site measures, purchasing and expediting (with our dedicated purchasing agent), and project installations. Over time, the Designer may run their own projects, with supervision provided by our senior staff.

Requirements:

Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design, Interior Architecture or equivalent

3 - 5+ years of related experience

Proficiency in Microsoft Office, AutoCAD, and construction documents

Experience using Studio Designer is ideal but not required

IDEX, NCIDQ, LEED, and/or similar certification or coursework a plus

Good balance of left brain and right brain skills – you should be creative AND organized

Excellent management and communication skills

Team player, positive attitude, strong desire to continually learn and grow

Excellent troubleshooting and prioritization skills; you are considered a ‘closer’ and get things done

Reliable car. Mileage is reimbursed at IRS standard rates.

Schedule:

IDF Studio’s “open for business” hours are 9am to 5pm, Monday through Friday. This is a full-time salaried, exempt position, based on experience, with hours typically ranging from 35-40 hours per week and the goal being 40 hours as much as possible. Your schedule will vary based on project load, to which you will have good visibility via our project pipeline. Our team works from home and stays connected via phone, text, email, and Zoom. We also meet in person once/month, typically at a WeWork in Mill Valley.

Compensation:

Pay is commensurate with experience. Benefits include group health insurance, matching 401k plan, vacation and sick time.
