Senior Interior Designer (Pitching) in Birmingham

£70,000+ basic + Commission - Negotiable for the right person

Highly Flexible Hybrid Working

The Opportunity

Our client is looking for an exceptional Senior Pitch Interior Designer to join its Birmingham team.

This is a role for a proper workplace creative, someone who loves the front end of the design process, enjoys getting in front of clients and gets a genuine buzz from turning a brief into a concept that wins the room.

You’ll take the creative lead on pitches for commercial workplace projects, developing compelling design concepts and bringing them to life through engaging presentations, storytelling and confident client pitches.

This isn't a role for someone who wants to sit quietly behind a screen producing drawings. our client is looking for someone who enjoys the energy of a pitch, can read a client, challenge a brief and confidently sell the thinking behind their design.

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading the creative design response for workplace pitches and new business opportunities.
• Taking client briefs and turning them into strong, original and commercially relevant interior concepts.
• Developing concept designs, look & feel, space planning, material palettes and presentation material.
• Creating a clear narrative around each concept rather than simply presenting a collection of visuals.
• Presenting and pitching design concepts directly to clients and key stakeholders.
• Working closely with the sales, pre-construction and wider design teams to develop winning proposals.
• Attending client meetings, workshops and pitch presentations.
• Understanding the commercial side of workplace D&B and designing with both creativity and deliverability in mind.
• Helping to continue to raise the creative bar across its workplace portfolio.

What They Are Looking For

You will need substantial commercial workplace interior design experience, ideally gained within a workplace Design & Build business or a leading workplace design studio.

More importantly, you need to love pitching.

You'll be comfortable standing in front of clients, talking passionately about your ideas and explaining the thinking behind a concept. You'll understand that brilliant workplace design isn't just about producing something that looks good, it's about creating an idea the client believes in and wants to buy.

You'll ideally bring:

• A strong portfolio of commercial workplace interior design projects.
• Significant experience creating concepts for competitive pitches.
• Excellent conceptual and creative design ability.
• Strong presentation and storytelling skills.
• Confidence presenting directly to clients.
• A good understanding of workplace trends, materials, furniture and evolving ways of working.
• The personality to build rapport with clients and become a trusted creative voice.
• Experience within Commercial D&B would be a major advantage.

Package & Flexibility

Our client is prepared to be very flexible for the right person.

The starting point is £70,000+ basic salary, but the overall package is negotiable depending on experience and the strength of the individual.

There is also a commission scheme, giving you the opportunity to benefit financially from the work you help win.

The business offers significant hybrid flexibility, so this isn't a five-days-a-week-in-the-studio position. The focus is on finding the right senior creative and giving them the flexibility to perform at their best.

Why This Role?

If you're already a strong workplace designer but find yourself enjoying the pitch, concept and client-facing side far more than the technical delivery, this could be a very interesting next move.

It's an opportunity to have real creative influence, work directly with clients, help win projects and be rewarded for the success you contribute to.
