Fonde Interiors is seeking a highly organized, detail-driven Studio Coordinator to join our small, high-ownership team.

This role is central to how our work moves from concept to reality. We believe that great design depends on great execution, the Studio Coordinator protects that execution.

​

​This role is ideal for someone who enjoys bringing order and clarity to complex projects and takes pride in operational excellence.

​

You will work closely with the Principal and design team across every active project, ensuring that once selections are approved, they are carried forward with clarity, precision, and care. This is a visible, high-trust role within the studio with real autonomy in your lane and meaningful impact on the client experience.

​

While this is not a creative design position, proximity to design is constant. An appreciation for layered, historically referenced interiors and craftsmanship is important.

​

Procurement management sits at the center of this role. You will own the purchasing workflow within Studio Designer - issuing and tracking purchase orders, confirming pricing and lead times, maintaining documentation, coordinating with vendors and freight partners, and monitoring timelines from order placement through delivery and installation. You will flag discrepancies early and ensure approved selections are executed with clarity and care.

You will also serve in a client-facing capacity by managing inquiry intake and initial screening calls, supporting onboarding workflows, responding to client and vendor communications by phone and email, and greeting clients and guests in the studio with professionalism and warmth.

​

You will help maintain and strengthen the systems that keep the studio focused and prepared - coordinating with accounting partners, organizing project documentation, supporting scheduling communication with trades and vendors, preparing the studio for presentations, and ensuring operational details are handled before they become distractions.

​

As the studio evolves, you may also support community and brand initiatives by assisting with event logistics, curated client gifting, and thoughtful touchpoints that reinforce the Fonde experience.

​

This Role is Perfect for You If You:​

​​

• You believe beautiful design is only possible with flawless execution behind the scenes.

• You get genuine satisfaction from a well-organized spreadsheet, a clean inbox, and a project timeline that actually makes sense.

• You can juggle multiple moving parts without dropping details - and you notice when something feels “off” before anyone else does.

• You are comfortable communicating with clients, vendors, and trades with professionalism, clarity, and warmth.

• You take ownership of your work and follow through - even when no one is watching.

• You enjoy building systems and improving processes so the studio runs more smoothly over time.

• You understand that discretion, trust, and reliability are non-negotiable in a client-facing role.

• You can switch between big-picture thinking and meticulous detail work without losing momentum.

• You’re the kind of person who proofreads texts before sending them… and yes, grammatical errors might actually keep you up at night.

• You take pride in being the steady force that allows the creative team to do their best work.
