Leader, Architecture & Design

At RH we believe deeply that the "right" people are our greatest asset. We value people with high energy, who possess the ability to energize others. People who are smart, creative and have a point of view. People who see the answer in every problem, versus those who see the problem in every answer. People who are driven, determined and won't take "no" for an answer. We value team players, people who are more concerned with what's right, rather than who's right. About the Development & Design Team At RH, the retail design game has changed and Development & Design is the group that brings the RH vision to life. From restaurants, to European rooftop gardens to design gallery showrooms to guesthouses, we are delivering the best home furnishing experience in the US, Canada, United Kingdom and Europe.
