Job Description
Job Title: Freelance Senior Designer
Sector: Luxury Hospitality | High-End Hotels & Members' Clubs
Contract: 3 months (with potential to extend)
Work Arrangement: Hybrid (1D Office; 4D WFH)
Location: London
Day Rate: £250 - £300
Start: Immediate
The Opportunity:
We are representing one of the world's most influential and fastest-growing lifestyle hospitality brands. Known for creating "places that tell stories," our client is currently undergoing a period of rapid global expansion. We are seeking a high-calibre, autonomous Freelance FF&E Specialist to join their award-winning design team for a critical four-month project.
This is a rare opportunity to work at the forefront of hospitality design, contributing to iconic global portfolios during a high-velocity growth phase.
The Role:
You will be responsible for driving the FF&E narrative for high-profile Public Area packages. This is not a "support" role; we need a seasoned professional who can take ownership of the design process—from initial "look and feel" through to technical drawing and procurement-ready packages.
Key Responsibilities:
* Creative Vision: Curating sophisticated imagery, mood boards, and material palettes that align with the brand's unique lifestyle aesthetic.
* Package Delivery: Independently managing and delivering comprehensive FF&E packages for Public Areas.
* Technical Design: Drafting medium-complexity joinery drawings and developing designs within SketchUp.
* Technical Documentation: Producing precise, professional drawing packages in AutoCAD.
* Refurbishment Focus: Applying expertise in ID fit-outs to complex refurbishment projects where agility and creative problem-solving are paramount.
The Profile:
We are looking for a specialist who combines visionary creative flair with technical discipline.
* Experience: A deep-rooted background in high-end hospitality FF&E. You must have a portfolio that showcases completed Public Area projects.
* Technical Mastery: High proficiency in AutoCAD, SketchUp, Photoshop, and InDesign is non-negotiable.
* Supplier Intel: An extensive, current knowledge of global materials and a robust network of suppliers.
* Adaptability: The ability to hit the ground running. You thrive in fast-paced environments and can manage the nuances of refurbishment projects with ease.
* Communication: Ability to articulate design intent clearly and work collaboratively within a high-performing studio culture.
Why Apply?
* Prestige: Work with a globally sought-after design powerhouse at the peak of their expansion.
* Impact: Take ownership of public-facing spaces in high-visibility lifestyle hotels.
* Future Growth: While this is an initial 4-month contract, the scale of our client's global pipeline often leads to extended opportunities for the right talent.
How to Apply:
Things are moving fast. If you are a specialist who meets all the above criteria and is available immediately, please submit your CV and a PDF Portfolio (or link) highlighting your hospitality Public Area experience and technical FF&E packages.
