Oslo Design Co. is seeking a highly organized, resourceful, and detail-oriented Studio Assistant to support the day-to-day operations of our growing interior design studio.
This is a hands-on, varied role for someone who enjoys keeping things organized, anticipating what needs to happen next, and working behind the scenes to help a creative business run beautifully. You’ll support our team across studio operations, project and installation logistics, administrative coordination, marketing and content, and client and team experience.
This is not a traditional interior design position. We’re looking for an experienced, capable professional who enjoys a support and coordination role, takes ownership of their work, exercises good judgment, and is comfortable working independently.
No two days will look exactly the same. One day you may be organizing incoming furnishings and preparing materials for an installation; the next, you may be coordinating a return, updating a project tracker, helping prepare marketing content, or putting together a thoughtful client or team experience.
