Merchandise Design Assistant working at Journey Beyond, supporting retail product development and visual merchandising with a focus on design concepts and production processes.
About the role
- Designer creating and managing design projects for Runway East's office spaces and site upgrades. Collaborating with contractors and teams to deliver high-quality design solutions.
Responsibilities
- New site design - Work alongside D&B contractors and their design teams on new location fit-outs. You'll be RWE's design lead on the client side - reviewing proposals, challenging ideas and protecting our brand identity.
- FF&E specification - Select and specify furniture, fixtures and equipment across new sites, refreshes and office modifications. Build supplier relationships and balance aesthetics with durability, budget and lead times.
- Site spruces and refreshes - Plan and deliver cosmetic upgrades across the portfolio - paint, signage, soft furnishings, lighting, feature walls. Assess what needs attention, create design schemes, and work with the projects team to get it done.
- Space planning management - Brief and manage our outsourced space planning agency. Review layouts for efficiency, member experience and commercial return.
Requirements
- Experienced in workplace and flexible office design - You've designed workplaces, flexible offices or co-working spaces. You understand how these environments actually work day-to-day, not just how they look on completion day.
- Practical as well as creative - You can spec materials, source furniture, coordinate with contractors and solve problems on site. You're comfortable getting into the detail of what actually gets built and installed.
- Commercially aware - You understand that design decisions have a cost and a commercial impact. You think about desk yield, durability and member experience alongside aesthetics.
- Confident with external partners - You'll be working with D&B firms, space planners and suppliers regularly. You don't need to have all the answers, but you need to know when something isn't right - and be confident enough to challenge it.
- Proficient in design software - You're comfortable working in AutoCAD and Revit. Experience with design presentation tools (e.g. Adobe Creative Suite, SketchUp) is desirable.
- Self-directed - This is a one-person design function. You'll manage your own workload, prioritise across multiple projects, and take ownership from concept through to delivery.
Benefits
- Time Off: 31 days including bank holidays, plus an extra day for every year at Runway East. We also give you your birthday off (because no one should work on their birthday) and time off over the Christmas break.
- Wellbeing: Private health & dental, gym discounts, mental health support, and a Bike2Work scheme.
- Growth: Professional development budget and learning resources.
- Community: Two workdays per year for charitable activities, team outings, and epic annual trips (Barcelona, Rhodes, Vilnius, and more!).
- The Usual Suspects: Paid sick days, compassionate leave, enhanced parental leave and life insurance.
