About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Interior Designer Client Conversion & Business Development, a hybrid role where design expertise meets business acumen. You will focus exclusively on pre-sales / client conversion: understanding requirements, preparing presentations, and ensuring successful closure. Once the client commits, the project will be assigned to a Principal Designer, and you will move on to the next client.

This role is ideal for a smart, client-facing designer who enjoys combining design knowledge with business development skills to drive tangible results.

Key Responsibilities

Client Engagement & Lead Management

• Connect with leads generated through marketing campaigns or personal networks.
• Understand client requirements, assess feasibility (materials, measurements, budget), and provide realistic solutions.
• Conduct client meetings, building trust and strong relationships from the first interaction to closure.

Design Presentations & Pre-Sales

• Prepare design presentations and visual proposals that effectively communicate ideas and solutions.
• Use expertise in materials, measurements, and execution feasibility to advise clients confidently.
• Collaborate with the design team to ensure presentations reflect accurate possibilities and pricing.

Business Development & Conversion

• Drive end-to-end client conversion, ensuring consistent achievement of revenue targets.
• Leverage existing networks of architects, real estate developers, and HNIs to generate new business opportunities.
• Track market trends, competitor offerings, and client feedback to inform sales strategy.

Internal Coordination

• Hand over confirmed projects to Principal Designers and ensure smooth transition post-conversion.
• Provide insights from client interactions to marketing and strategy teams for lead improvement.
• Report progress, pipeline status, and closures directly to the COO.

What We're Looking For

• Minimum 4+ years of experience in Interior Design / Architecture with client-facing exposure.
• Strong knowledge of materials, measurements, feasibility, and design standards.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and negotiation skills.
• Proven ability to drive client conversion and achieve sales targets.
• Self-motivated, smart, and target-driven professional.
• Existing network with architects, developers, or HNI clients is a plus.

What We Offer

• Competitive Fixed + Variable CTC linked to performance.
• Direct reporting to the Chief Operating Officer.
• Opportunity to work on premium residential, commercial, and hospitality projects.
• High-visibility role with a focus on business growth and client engagement.
• Entrepreneurial environment where your contribution directly impacts revenue.
