Job Description

  • Preparing and drafting basic scope presentations (SPs)
  • Driving conversion with HNI clients

Client Engagement & Conversion

  • Meet inbound leads & studio referrals, understand client needs, and guide them through feasibility, timelines, and indicative pricing.
  • Convert qualified leads into confirmed clients through persuasive communication and clarity of design scope.
  • Manage HNI-facing presentations with excellent grooming, articulation, and presence (critical due to clientele profile).

Design Literacy & SP Preparation

  • Draft basic SPs (Scope Presentations) focusing on materials, finishes, product types, and indicative budgets.
  • Explain material options, finishes, construction methods, and price differentials clearly to clients.
  • Collaborate with internal design team for deeper technical validation when needed (no heavy design delivery).

Business Development & Networking

  • Build and nurture relationships with architects, developers, and premium design ecosystem partners .
  • Represent the studio at exhibitions, studio walkthroughs, and partner networking events.
  • Stay aware of market pricing, competitive offerings, and premium interior trends.

Internal Coordination

  • Hand projects off to the Principal Designer post-conversion with clean documentation.
  • Collect client insights and pipeline status for management.

  • Understand materials, finishes, hardware, construction basics, FFE categories.
  • Know price points and cost logic well enough to discuss budgets intelligently.
