Full-Time Permanent

This role is ideal for a talented Interior Designer currently working within high-end residential or luxury interiors who is looking to transition into the exciting world of superyacht design. If you have a passion for bespoke craftsmanship, exceptional materials, and creating extraordinary luxury spaces, I would be keen to hear from you.

My client is a renowned design studio operating within the luxury superyacht sector, creating bespoke interior environments for some of the world's most prestigious yachts. Due to continued growth, they are seeking a creative and ambitious Junior Interior Designer to join their talented design team in London.

Working alongside senior designers and project teams, you will contribute to the design and delivery of bespoke yacht interiors, helping to transform initial concepts into world-class finished environments.

Conduct supplier research and liaise with manufacturers to source bespoke products and finishes.
Support site visits, showroom appointments, and project installations where required.
Ensure all design solutions balance aesthetics, functionality, practicality, and the highest standards of luxury.
