client engagement – build lasting relationships and present proposals with confidence and clarity
technical expertise – lead on space planning, FF&E specification, construction drawings, and tender documentation
collaboration – work seamlessly with architects, contractors, suppliers, and consultants to deliver world-class spaces globally
quality assurance – ensure design excellence, profitability, and smooth project delivery at every stage
business growth – play an active role in developing and growing DRS’s hospitality portfolio strategically

About you

We’re looking for a globally minded designer with exceptional taste, curiosity, and sensitivity to both the aesthetics of the present and the craft of the past. You will balance creativity, technical precision, and project leadership – thriving in a collaborative, fast-paced environment.

What we’re looking for:

at least eight years’ experience in interior design, with a minimum of 6 years in hospitality design (hotels, restaurants, or branded spaces)
proven ability to lead concept development, space planning, and styling for hospitality environments
proficiency in AutoCAD, Rhino, Revit, Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Office
confidence in presenting to clients, leading teams, and managing complex project relationships
a natural leader – adaptable, supportive and inspiring
ambition and drive – eager to take on responsibility, grow with the business, and push creative boundaries
exceptional attention to detail and organisational skills
strong interpersonal and communication skills – a people person who thrives in collaboration
experience managing designers and project teams
close collaboration with the Creative Director and Head of Business Development to deliver projects that define the future of hospitality, retail and residential design

For the right candidate, we offer a competitive remuneration package, opportunities for career growth, and the chance to shape the next generation of hospitality spaces around the world.

We embrace diversity in all applicants’ backgrounds. The successful applicant must have eligibility to work in the UK.
