Remote Interior Design & Art Project Assistant - Long term Role
Worldwide
**Long-term collaboration | Project management and AutoCAD required** We are looking for a highly organised and creatively minded **Interior Design and Art Project Assistant** to join our team remotely on a long-term basis. You may have previously worked as an interior design assistant, art curator assistant, studio assistant, creative project coordinator or in a similar role. You love working with art, interiors, styling, design and visual culture, but you also understand that creative projects require structure, accuracy, clear communication and consistent follow-through. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being involved in the creative process while also taking responsibility for the practical details that allow a project to move forward successfully. Although you will work remotely, we are looking for someone who wants to become a genuine part of the team rather than complete occasional freelance tasks. You should be interested in building a long-term working relationship, understanding how we work and taking increasing ownership over time. **The Role You will support the Managing Director and wider team across several art, interior and hospitality-related projects. Your responsibilities will move between creative research, project coordination, technical preparation and administration. One moment, you may be sourcing an artist, artwork, object or visual reference. The next, you may be updating an AutoCAD elevation, preparing a briefing, following up with a supplier or reviewing project deadlines in Asana. You need to be comfortable working across different projects at the same time and understand how to balance creativity with precision. **Key Responsibilities * Support the development and coordination of art and interior-related projects * Assist with artist, artwork, object, furniture and styling research * Prepare visual references, mood boards, presentations and project documentation * Prepare and update artwork elevations and technical drawings in AutoCAD * Support the creation of artist, framing, production and installation briefings * Manage multiple projects, deadlines and deliverables simultaneously * Maintain project timelines, priorities and responsibilities in Asana * Organise and maintain project folders, artist resources and internal libraries in Dropbox * Support the Managing Director with daily priorities, follow-ups and project administration * Coordinate communication with artists, galleries, designers, framers, suppliers and external partners * Follow up on quotations, submissions, approvals, production timelines and deliveries * Maintain artwork schedules, databases, project trackers and procurement documents * Prepare purchase orders, cost overviews and presentation materials * Review information carefully and identify missing details, inconsistencies or errors * Translate meetings and conversations into clear actions and next steps * Keep the Managing Director informed about deadlines, risks and outstanding decisions * Support shipping, logistics and installation coordination where required * Assist with additional creative, technical and administrative tasks across the studio **Required Background You should have previous professional experience as one or more of the following: * Interior design assistant * Art curator assistant * Art consultancy assistant * Creative studio assistant * Interior or architectural project coordinator * Art project coordinator * Styling or design assistant * Exhibition or gallery assistant A degree in interior design, architecture, art history, curating, design management or a related field is beneficial, but relevant professional experience and a strong portfolio are equally important. **Essential Skills * Fluent and confident use of AutoCAD * Proven project management and coordination experience * Strong organisational and administrative skills * Excellent attention to detail * Ability to manage several projects and deadlines at once * Confidence using Asana, Dropbox and spreadsheets * Strong written and verbal communication skills * Ability to work independently and manage your own workload * Ability to anticipate what is needed rather than waiting for every instruction * Professional communication with artists, galleries, suppliers and project partners * Excellent English * Availability during agreed European working hours Experience with Canva, Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office or Google Workspace is an advantage. **Your Profile You are creative, curious and visually aware, but also highly structured. You have a genuine interest in: * Contemporary art * Interior design * Architecture * Styling * Furniture and objects * Fashion * Materials, colours and craftsmanship * Hospitality and residential design You understand that creative work is not only about having ideas. It also requires accurate measurements, organised files, clearly written briefings, realistic timelines, professional follow-ups and careful documentation. **You are someone who: * Has a strong eye for aesthetics * Notices small mistakes and inconsistencies * Enjoys researching artists, materials, objects and visual references * Can distinguish between something that is merely attractive and something that is appropriate for a specific project * Works accurately with dimensions, plans and elevations * Takes responsibility for deadlines and deliverables * Follows up consistently and professionally * Communicates clearly when something is missing or delayed * Can prioritise when several tasks require attention * Enjoys bringing structure to creative projects * Is comfortable supporting and managing the priorities of a Managing Director * Values teamwork, trust and long-term collaboration **How We Work Asana and Dropbox are central to our daily work. You will be expected to keep tasks, deadlines, files and project information organised and up to date. Clear communication is essential, particularly in a remote role. You should be able to work independently while remaining connected to the team and transparent about your progress, workload and any potential challenges. We are looking for someone who does not simply wait for tasks, but actively reviews the project, identifies what is still needed and helps ensure that the work moves forward. **What We Offer * A long-term remote collaboration * A varied role combining creativity, project management and technical work * Involvement in international art, hospitality and residential projects * Exposure to artists, galleries, interior designers, architects and specialist suppliers * The opportunity to grow into a trusted and central member of the team * Increasing responsibility as the collaboration develops * A professional, creative and design-led working environment ## How to Apply Please include: 1.
