We are seeking a highly organized, detail-oriented Executive Assistant & Studio Coordinator to support daily operations across executive, administrative, and studio functions. This role is integral to keeping both the office and project workflows running efficiently.
This is not a design role. Instead, this position focuses on FF&E specification support, material library management, and executive/office coordination within a design-focused environment.

- Previous experience working in an architecture, interior design, or construction-related firm strongly preferred
- Familiarity with FF&E specifications, material libraries, or design documentation is a strong plus
This role supports the design process but does not involve design responsibilities or creative production work. Candidates seeking a design-focused position may not find this role to be the right fit.
- Someone who takes ownership of both the office and operational workflows
- Detail-oriented and process-driven, especially with specifications and documentation
- Strong note-taker who can capture and communicate information clearly
- Comfortable balancing administrative duties with studio support tasks
- Professional, polished, and proactive in a client-facing environment
Competitive salary based on experience.
