Interior Designer
Full-Time | In-Person | Wellesley, MA
About the Role
Erin Gates Design is looking for an experienced Interior Designer to join our collaborative, energetic team. We take our work seriously and our culture lightly—and we’re looking for someone who does the same.
In this role, you’ll lead high-end residential design projects from initial concept through final installation. You’ll own spatial planning, material and finish selections, FF&E specifications, and construction documentation—while partnering closely with the principal designer, fellow lead designers, and our project management team to deliver an exceptional experience for every client.
This is a hands-on, client-facing position. You’ll manage relationships directly, keep projects on schedule and within budget, and bring thoughtful design leadership to each engagement.
What You’ll Do
Lead residential design projects end to end, from programming and schematic design through procurement and installation.
Develop and present spatial plans, elevations, material palettes, and FF&E packages to clients.
Prepare and coordinate construction documentation with architects, contractors, and trade partners.
Manage project timelines, budgets, and vendor relationships to ensure seamless delivery.
Build and maintain strong client relationships, serving as the primary design point of contact.
Collaborate daily with the principal designer and project management staff to align on design direction and project status.
Travel to job sites for meetings, walkthroughs, photoshoots and installations (reliable vehicle required).
What We’re Looking For
5–8 years of experience as a designer or senior designer at a residential interior design firm.
Strong proficiency in AutoCAD, Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Excel, and Studio Designer (or equivalent project management software).
Excellent interpersonal and communication skills—this role involves significant face-to-face interaction with clients, builders, and installers.
A sharp eye for design with the ability to bring fresh perspectives while working within the Erin Gates Design aesthetic.
Proven project management and organizational skills, with comfort managing multiple projects simultaneously.
A collaborative mindset—you thrive in a team environment and enjoy the energy of working alongside talented colleagues in the studio.
A reliable vehicle for travel to site meetings. Occasional overnight or long-distance travel may be required.
A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Interior Design or Interior Architecture is a plus, but not required. We care most about your portfolio, your experience, and how you work.
Compensation & Benefits
Competitive salary commensurate with experience.
Medical, dental, and disability insurance.
Paid vacation and holidays.
Work-from-home Fridays.
