Senior Store Designer in Swindon

At Neptune, we believe the spaces we create should feel as considered as the homes they inspire. Calm, welcoming and beautifully balanced - every detail matters. We are now looking for a Store Designer to join our team, helping us shape retail spaces that bring the Neptune way of living to life. This is a hands-on collaborative role for an Interior Design or Interior Architecture graduate, with previous experience in AutoCAD, Photoshop, Illustrator, Excel and Word and a strong technical expertise including M&E coordination and construction details.

You will be someone who loves thoughtful design, enjoys seeing ideas become reality, and understands how space influences how people feel. Your primary role will be to design new Neptune Stores and seasonally update the existing store network in line with the latest seasonal aesthetic. Working closely with colleagues across Design, Merchandising and Visual Merchandising, you will help every space feel unmistakably Neptune from first sketch to final detail, ensuring commercial performance, brand consistency and technical excellence. This role involves regular travel to UK stores, with some overnight stays. Occasional international travel may also be required, depending on project needs.

Responsibilities include:

• Taking ownership of the end-to-end design and delivery of Neptune spaces, shaping beautiful and considered environments across our UK, international, franchise and wholesale stores.
• Leading the design journey for each space, from the first concept through to completion, ensuring every store reflects our brand guidelines while embracing the spirit of each season.
• Creating detailed design plans and specifications that guide the entire build process - from early structural and technical planning through to the final wall finishes, furniture placement and accessory styling.
• Working closely with our Merchandising team to understand store performance, thoughtfully refining layouts and design details to enhance both productivity and the customer experience.
• Collaborating with our Visual Merchandising team to ensure design intent and in-store presentation work seamlessly together.
• Bringing seasonal direction to life in store, developing designs that reflect the creative vision set by our Head of Store Design.
• Visiting our stores regularly across the UK to see spaces first-hand and support projects, with occasional overnight stays and some international travel when required.

We are looking for someone who has 3 years' experience in a similar role and someone who brings creativity and initiative to everything they do, with a natural ability to think beyond the expected and shape thoughtful, inspiring spaces. A genuine empathy for the Neptune brand is essential - an instinctive understanding of what makes our homes feel warm, timeless and beautifully considered. You will be highly organised, with the drive and enthusiasm to see ideas through from concept to completion, while maintaining exceptional attention to detail. Clear and confident communication is equally important, whether you are speaking in person, on the phone or writing an email. Above all, you will be comfortable managing your own priorities, responding to change with ease and staying focused in a fast-moving, creative environment.

What Benefits we can offer you:

• Generous Holiday Allowance
• Option to purchase additional annual leave
• Life Assurance
• Enhanced maternity and paternity leave
• Cycle to work scheme
• Generous new item and factory outlet discounts
• Discounted gym membership
• Perkbox: Wellbeing Hub and Retail Discounts Portal
• Your birthday day off
• Day off if you become a Grandparent
• A week off to celebrate a life event
• Refer a friend scheme
• Long service holiday allowance increase
• Training workshops

We are a growing business that encourages people to grow with us. Neptune's goal is to ensure we have a diverse and inclusive work environment, where all of our employees have equal access to opportunities and everyone's voices are heard.

Our Story:

Founded in 1996 by friends John Sims-Hilditch and Giles Redman, Neptune design and make pieces for your whole home. Recognised for their exacting standards, design-led aesthetic and expert craftsmanship, they are perhaps most known for kitchens - with heirloom-worthy dressers not far behind. Neptune's trademark 'look' is British: refined, simple, sturdy, and with an almost obsessive attention to detail. They are also respected for their commitment to craft and quality. Put simply, they make things they are proud of, and that are designed to last a lifetime.
