Design Director – Workplace Interiors

Central London

£90K - £120K plus commission structure (Comms approx £20K)


Our client is on the hunt for a superstar Design Director– someone who doesn’t just think outside the box, but redesigns the whole damn thing.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a key leadership role with one of London’s most established (and quietly legendary) workplace design & build firms. You’ll lead a talented team of designers, inspire innovation at every stage, and help shape the future of office environments across the UK.


What you’ll be doing:

Providing creative leadership across all workplace design projects – from pitch to perfection

Collaborating with clients, project directors, and commercial teams to translate vision into bold, buildable ideas

Mentoring and managing a team of mid–senior designers, encouraging big ideas and beautiful execution

Owning design strategy and storytelling in pitches, with a focus on innovation, functionality, and wow-factor

Keeping your finger on the pulse of trends in workplace culture, sustainability, and experiential design


Our client is looking for someone who:

Has 7+ years of office/workplace interior design experience

Has led creative teams and knows how to bring out their best

Combines strategic thinking with next-level design flair

Is confident presenting to clients and winning hearts (and contracts) in the boardroom

Understands the D&B model and can thrive in a fast-paced, commercially-minded environment


Why this role?

This is more than a title, it’s a platform. You’ll have the creative freedom to push boundaries, backed by a team with serious pedigree and a pipeline of high-profile projects. Think vibrant culture, beautiful studio space, and leadership that genuinely values design excellence.
