Role Overview:

The Project Planner plays a central role in managing the timeline, governance, and execution discipline of luxury interior design projects. Working from concept through to installation, the Project Planner ensures that all design, procurement, FF&E, and site operations align to deliver projects on time, within budget, and to the highest standards expected by discerning clients.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Project Planning & Execution

• Lead the development of integrated project timelines for interior design projects - from concept design, technical documentation, procurement, manufacturing, to installation.
• Create and maintain master schedules identifying key milestones, lead times (e.g. material selection, production, delivery), and dependencies between departments (Design, FF&E, Site Coordination).
• Ensure project schedules are realistic, tracked, and regularly updated, with stakeholder buy-in and visibility.

2. Process Governance & Cross-Departmental Alignment

• Enforce adherence to internal workflows and approval processes across departments - including Design, Procurement, Finance, and Site Management.
• Audit project trackers, documentation, and delivery checklists to ensure consistency and accuracy.
• Ensure all teams understand and meet agreed milestones, scope commitments, and deliverables.

3. Risk Management & Problem Solving

• Identify project risks early (e.g. delayed material samples, client decision bottlenecks, contractor readiness) and proactively mitigate them.
• Ensure transparent and timely communication of delays or roadblocks to executive leadership and relevant departments.
• Maintain up-to-date project dashboards and risk registers for internal review (e.g. CEO weekly reviews).

4. Special Programs Oversight

• Manage complex or non-standard project initiatives (e.g. international installations, ultra-custom FF&E packages) with tailored timelines and reporting needs.
• Coordinate with niche suppliers or external consultants for special programs requiring elevated oversight.

5. Client & Stakeholder Reporting

• Prepare high-quality client-facing reports summarizing progress, upcoming milestones, and key decisions.
• Ensure alignment between client expectations, commercial agreements, and internal planning.
• Act as a point of coordination between external consultants (lighting, AV, landscape) and internal teams to ensure coherent delivery.

6. Leadership & Delivery Culture

• Promote a culture of precision, accountability, and proactive project management - benchmarked against leading global firms.
• Provide mentoring and structure to junior or design-led teams less familiar with structured delivery models.
• Advocate for continual improvement in project planning tools and standards.

Requirements:

• Minimum 7+ years of experience in project planning and management within luxury interior design, high-end residential, or boutique hospitality sectors.
• Strong understanding of interior design workflows, bespoke FF&E production, and installation sequencing.
• Demonstrated ability to enforce structured timelines and ensure cross-departmental accountability.
• Experience working in fast-paced, design-driven environments.

Skills

• Advanced proficiency in project scheduling tools such as Primavera , MS Project , Asana , , or similar platforms.
• High attention to detail and strong risk awareness.
• Excellent communication and client-handling skills, especially with VIPs and international stakeholders.
• Ability to lead, align, and support teams across design, procurement, and site operations.
• Strong problem-solving mindset with a proactive approach to delays and bottlenecks.
