INTERIOR DESIGNER — FULL-TIME | SYDNEY | BOWERBIRD
"Shape stories through furniture."
⸻
Design that resonates. Furniture that defines space.
At BOWERBIRD, we don’t do generic. We create considered spaces that connect - visually, emotionally, commercially. And at the centre of that vision is you: a furniture-led Interior Designer with a passion for creating spaces that feel both elevated and lived-in.
We’re looking for a designer who understands the power of storytelling through furniture and form. Someone who wants to be at the forefront of shaping interiors that shift perspectives, add value, and leave a lasting impression. If you’re confident developing full furniture schemes, leading projects from brief to install, and thrive in a collaborative design environment, this is your space to lead.

About the Role
You’ll be joining a multidisciplinary design team that works across some of Australia’s most dynamic interiors - from high-end residential styling to large-scale commercial developments, build-to-rent properties, display suites, boutique accommodations, and luxury short-stay fitouts. This is not a one-style-fits-all role. Every project is different, every brief unique.
At BOWERBIRD, design is strategic and soul-led. That means you’ll be working hands-on with clients, developers, agents, and our internal teams to bring meaningful, high-impact spaces to life. From moodboard to furniture floor plan, from product selection to final styling, you’ll guide projects at every step with design precision and creative vision.

What You’ll Be Doing
• Lead and deliver a diverse range of interior design projects across asset classes: residential, commercial, multi-res, hospitality and developer-led spaces
• Create fully resolved furniture and styling schemes tailored to client briefs, timelines and budgets
• Prepare and present moodboards, furnished floor plans, FF&E schedules, and curated design decks that speak clearly to vision and value
• Source, specify and manage the procurement of furniture, finishes and styling items from our network of local and international suppliers
• Attend client meetings and briefings with clarity and confidence, translating insights into actionable design solutions
• Collaborate closely with the Creative Director and wider design team to maintain design integrity across every touchpoint
• Be present at installations to ensure seamless execution and a high standard of finish
• Support and mentor junior designers, contributing to a strong creative culture

Who This Role Suits
This role is made for a designer who is ready to take creative ownership. You’re not just looking to “style a room” - you want to shape how people experience space. You value craftsmanship, clarity, and the energy that comes from working across many types of briefs and clients.
You’re the right fit if you have:
• 3–5 years of experience in interior design, ideally with a strong focus on furniture schemes and residential/commercial fitouts
• A portfolio that shows depth in furniture layout planning, styling, and detailed FF&E specification
• A degree in Interior Design (or related field)
• A strong working knowledge of SketchUp, Adobe Suite, Canva, and other relevant design tools
• Excellent presentation, communication and time management skills
• A collaborative mindset and an eye for both beauty and function

Where You’ll Grow
We’re growing - and so will you. As BOWERBIRD continues to evolve across emerging design sectors and new geographies, this role offers the opportunity to gain hands-on experience across a range of property and lifestyle sectors. You’ll be exposed to a variety of design typologies, business models, and client interactions that will stretch and refine your thinking as a designer.
You won’t be siloed here. You’ll be part of an ambitious, creative, design-forward business where your ideas matter and your career is supported. Whether it’s working on a major developer partnership or a boutique high-end residence, every project brings fresh context and new energy.
