Help Bring Luxury Interior Designs to Life
Ishita Interiors is a luxury short-term rental design firm serving well-capitalized real estate investors in the Greater Asheville market and beyond. We help clients create distinctive, high-performing properties through three levels of service:
Tier 1: Virtual Design
Our team creates the design plan and provides the client with the direction needed to execute it.
Tier 2: Design, Procurement, and Staging
Our team manages the design, purchasing, receiving, delivery, and staging of the property.
Tier 3: Full-Service Design and Construction
Our team manages the complete project. We oversee the design, run the construction bidding process, coordinate the general contractor and trades, manage construction progress, complete procurement and staging, and hand the client a finished property.
This position lives primarily within Tier 3.
We are seeking an experienced Interior Design Project Coordinator to coordinate the construction side of our full-service design projects. You will manage bidding, contractor communication, construction schedules, field coordination, change orders, project documentation, quality control, and conflict resolution.
You may also coordinate with our procurement and staging teams when their work directly affects a Tier 3 construction project. Procurement-only Tier 2 projects remain with the procurement team and are not part of this position’s primary responsibilities.
This is not an administrative project coordinator position. You will be actively involved in the realities of interior design implementation and residential construction. You must be able to communicate confidently with general contractors, subcontractors, trades, clients, and our internal design team.
The right person recognizes problems early, understands how design decisions translate into the finished space, keeps projects organized, and brings solutions when the schedule and reality no longer match.
This position is designed to grow into a full Project Manager role based on demonstrated performance.
You will work on distinctive luxury properties and play an important role in turning creative design concepts into beautifully finished spaces.
You will have the opportunity to own meaningful work, solve complex design and construction challenges, build trusted contractor relationships, and advance into a Project Manager position based on clearly defined performance benchmarks.
If you have relevant interior design, construction, general contracting, new construction, or architectural experience and take pride in delivering organized, high-quality projects, we would like to hear from you.
Please submit your resume and briefly describe a design or construction project in which you resolved a contractor delay, trade conflict, budget issue, design challenge, or significant site problem in a cover letter.
