    Office & Studio Manager – Interior Design Studio

    Kirkland, WA (in-office)

    Are you the kind of person who color-codes your calendar, notices when a chair is off-center, and actually enjoys reconciling a spreadsheet? Join a high-end interior design studio as thei Office & Studio Manager, where your blend of creativity, precision, and organization will keep everything—and everyone—running smoothly.

    This role is perfect for someone who thrives behind the scenes, loves both aesthetics and systems, and takes pride in details others miss. You’ll work closely with the Principal and design team to support studio operations, procurement, billing, and client experience—while occasionally jumping in to help prep a home for a photoshoot or ensure a project is photo-ready.

    The ideal candidate is highly organized, dependable, and detail-driven—someone who excels in a structured environment and embodies the professionalism and refined aesthetic expected in the design world.
