Design Manager - Flexible Workspaces

Job Title: Design Manager – Flexible Workspaces

Location:Central London

Salary: Up to £60,000 plus excellent bonus & benefits

About the Company

This FTSE-listed property investment and development company is focused on delivering best-in-class workspaces across Central London. Known for its design-led approach, the business combines innovation, sustainability, and exceptional customer experience to shape some of the city’s most inspiring flexible work environments. With a bold vision to expand its flexible workspace footprint from 500,000 sq ft to 1 million sq ft by 2028, the company is entering an exciting new phase of growth and transformation.

About the Role

This is a newly created, permanent opportunity to support the delivery of Day 2 fit-out and refresh projects across the company's expanding flex workspace portfolio. You’ll manage small works and minor refurbishments that enhance and maintain high-quality, operational workspace experiences.

Though your primary focus will be Day 2 projects (~70–80%), you'll occasionally support Day 1 delivery as part of a collaborative environment.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the end-to-end design and delivery of Day 2 projects (up to £250k), including meeting rooms, phone booths, FF&E, paintwork, flooring, dressing, planting, joinery, and lighting

Conduct site visits and scoping sessions with project managers, leasing, customer experience, and portfolio teams

Produce design documentation using Revit, AutoCAD, and SketchUp — including GA sets, finishes, layouts, lighting plans, and joinery details

Manage FF&E specification and procurement — sourcing, pricing, and selecting fabrics, furniture, rugs, and lighting, with an emphasis on reusing inventory where feasible

Collaborate with internal teams and external suppliers to uphold design and delivery standards

Support compliance, procurement, and project documentation through SharePoint

Required Skills & Experience

8–10 years’ experience in interior or workplace design

Advanced proficiency in Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, Adobe Creative Suite, and Microsoft Office

Proven experience with Day 2 or post-occupancy fit-out and refresh projects

Deep knowledge of FF&E sourcing and supplier management

Comfortable working on-site and directly coordinating with contractors

Strong project management and costing skills — able to juggle multiple active projects

Pragmatic and delivery-focused — capable of executing quick-turnaround tasks with care

Cultural Fit

Collaborative and ego-free — thrives in a team-oriented, delivery-focused environment

Adaptable and flexible — happy to support Day 1 delivery when needed

Highly organised and proactive — enjoys working at pace in an embedded team

Passionate about creating high-quality workspaces and exceptional user experiences

Preferred Background

Degree-qualified in interior design or architecture

Experience with a leading design studio in workplace or flexible workspace design

Knowledge of coworking/flex operators or premium workplace environments

Hospitality design experience a plus (particularly in FF&E, art, and styling)
