We're looking for someone who can take ownership, solve problems, and keep things moving without constant direction. Great design matters to us. So does exceptional execution.

The amount of remote flexibility may vary based on whether you're working a 30-hour or 40-hour schedule. Because interior design can't always happen behind a computer, you'll also need to be available for client meetings, job-site visits, showroom appointments, sample pickups, and installations as needed. Reliable personal transportation and comfort traveling throughout Greater Austin and the surrounding Hill Country are required. We're looking for approximately 30-40 hours per week and are open to both a traditional full-time schedule and the right candidate seeking a consistent 30-35 hour work week.

If you're a talented designer with a great eye who also loves organization, details, and making things happen, we'd love to hear from you. Candidates advancing in the hiring process may be invited to complete a brief hands-on exercise reflecting the types of tasks involved in the role. #J-18808-Ljbffr Wendi Gee Interiors
