Job Description

Client Overview

A Cape Town-based luxury interior design studio specialising in high-end hospitality and residential environments. The studio operates with a boutique structure and places strong emphasis on creative leadership, design excellence, and close alignment with its founder’s vision.


This is a future-facing leadership role and not the immediate hiring priority. The position will require a highly experienced design professional capable of leading creative direction, managing team output, and aligning closely with the founder’s vision and studio standards.

The role is currently loosely defined, as the existing function evolved organically within the business. A more structured brief will be developed following the completion of current hiring priorities.

Requirements

Key Considerations (Preliminary)

  • Will require strong leadership capability within a boutique, high-performance environment
  • Likely responsible for team oversight, creative direction, and project quality control
  • Must align closely with the founder’s design philosophy and working style
  • Personality fit and leadership approach will be critical

Next Steps / Role Definition

  • Further scoping required around:
    • First 3–6 month deliverables
    • Team structure and management expectations
    • Strategic vs hands-on design involvement
    • This is expected to be a niche search requiring careful calibration
