The Role

As a Senior Interior Designer, this role provides the opportunity to lead the design, documentation, and delivery of small to mid‑scale interior design projects, as well as manage significant packages within larger, more complex projects. You will bring a high level of design awareness, technical capability, and professional judgement, consistently contributing to project quality and helping shape the direction of interiors work across the studio.

You will work with considerable independence, resolving complex design and delivery challenges, coordinating with clients, consultants, and suppliers, and ensuring projects progress smoothly through each stage. You will play a key role in maintaining project quality, mitigating risks, and upholding Woods Bagot’s standards, systems, and design frameworks. In addition, you will support the development of the broader team by sharing expertise, guiding junior designers, and contributing to a positive, collaborative studio culture.

• Contribute to and lead aspects of design reviews, internal critiques, and cross‑team collaboration activities.
• Share technical and design expertise with junior and mid‑level team members, supporting their development.
• Maintain a high standard of professionalism, organisation, and communication across all stages of the project.
