A luxury design firm needs a CEO who can scale the business without losing the craft.
COO / CEO - Design Firm
Our client is a founder-led luxury interior design firm with a national footprint spanning New York, New Jersey, Miami, and international markets. With approximately 25, the business is poised to scale significantly, with a target of tripling top-line revenue over the coming years.
This is a search for a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) or Chief Operating Officer (COO) who will serve as the principal operator of the business. You'll work directly alongside the founder, translating her creative vision into scalable operations, commercial growth, and a high-performing team. Although not a finance-based role, you should be fluent in P&L management and comfortable using numbers to drive decisions.
Day to day, you'll own business development, client relationships, project delivery, and internal infrastructure. You'll build out leadership, establish repeatable systems, and bring accountability to every corner of the organization. The firm serves ultra-high-net-worth residential and commercial clients, so a polished executive presence is non-negotiable.
The ideal candidate is someone who has scaled a services business through a growth phase. Experience in interior design, architecture, luxury hospitality, or high-end professional services is a strong asset. You're low-ego, execution-oriented, and energized by the challenge of building something exceptional inside a creative, founder-driven culture.
