About Eralyn Interiors
Eralyn Interiors is a full-service luxury interior design firm specializing in high-end residential renovations, new builds, and full home furnishings. We manage every detail from concept through installation, delivering a seamless and elevated client experience. Our firm is built on radical client transparency, hands-on collaboration, and an absolute commitment to execution. We take pride in delivering homes that reflect the people who live in them.
The Role
We are searching for an experienced Lead Designer to take ownership of full-scale residential projects from concept through install. You will own the design vision and creative direction on every assigned project, lead clients through presentations and revisions, manage a project team (Junior Designer, Project Manager, Admin Coordinator), and partner with a Senior Technical Designer on drawings and construction documentation.
This is a builder role. You will run your own projects, make your own decisions, and earn meaningful compensation through our profit-share structure, designed to reward you for protecting margin, not just driving volume.

- Own the design vision and creative direction on every assigned project
- Run client meetings, presentations, site visits, and walkthroughs independently
- Coordinate with architects, GCs, vendors, and tradespeople
- Manage your project team and mentor a Junior Designer
- Develop conceptual designs, mood boards, sourcing, and full design presentations
- Produce or oversee complete ID drawing sets
- Lead procurement coordination, install preparation, and on-site install execution
- Hit project margin and profitability targets
Compensation Detail
Base Salary. $70,000 to $80,000, commensurate with experience.
Furnishings Profit Share. Tiered commission paid on the profit of every furnishings project you lead..
What We're Looking For
Required
- 5 to 8 years of interior design experience in high-end residential
- Demonstrated experience leading new construction or large-scale renovation projects start-to-finish
- Experience presenting independently to high-end residential clients
- Experience managing a project team
- Proficient in SketchUp
- Proficient with Design Files or a similar project management program
- Able to produce a full ID drawing set independently
- Strong understanding of construction documentation and how to talk to a GC on site
- Florida-based, or open to relocating to West Palm Beach
Preferred
- NCIDQ certified or in progress
- Established relationships with high-end vendors
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Interior Design
Who Thrives Here
- Humble leader. Comfortable directing a team and rolling up sleeves on any task
- Collaborative. No ego, no "above me" or "below me" thinking
- Calm under pressure and solution-oriented
- Strong work ethic. The work gets done regardless of what hat needs to be worn
- Detail-oriented and reliable
Pay: From $70,000.00 per year

AutoCAD
Design Files

- Are you currently based in South Florida, or open to relocating?
