Scandinavian seating pioneers since 1945. And we’re only getting started.
Savo has spent decades pioneering office seating, combining research-led innovation, human-centric ergonomics and Scandinavian design.
We believe the work chair is one of the most important pieces of furniture in your working life — and that it deserves more than function alone.
That’s why our ambition is to combine research, human-centric ergonomics and a progressive approach to design to create seating that works better, feels better — and that people genuinely want to use.
Now we want to strengthen Savo’s position within the UK architecture and design community — and we’re looking for someone with the energy, credibility and curiosity to help us build what comes next.
About the role
You’ll build and develop relationships with leading architecture and interior design practices, workplace designers, specifiers and emerging studios across the UK.
You’ll introduce Savo, our products and our thinking around seating and the changing workplace, while supporting practices with product knowledge, materials, CMF, sustainability information and project solutions.
Working closely with our commercial team and reseller partners, you’ll help turn relationships into specifications — and specifications into business.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
But this isn’t simply about walking into studios with a bag of samples.
We’re looking for someone who is genuinely curious about design, understands the specification process and can build meaningful relevance for Savo within the UK design community.
What we’re looking for
We’re looking for someone with:
- Relevant experience from workplace, contract furniture, interiors, architecture or another design-led sector
- Strong existing relationships within the UK architecture and design community
- A good understanding of specification processes and commercial workplace projects
- Confidence presenting to architects, designers and senior stakeholders
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills
- Commercial awareness and the ability to turn relationships into specifications and opportunities
- Curiosity, energy and a genuine interest in design and the changing workplace
- The confidence to work independently and proactively build a market
A relevant degree in design, architecture, interiors, business or a related field is an advantage, but industry experience, network and mindset matter more.
Your role is to help us win the mind, win the specification, protect the specification — and help win the order.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
For the right person, this is a rare opportunity: the backing, heritage and product platform of an established Scandinavian manufacturer, combined with the freedom and influence of building a market almost from the ground up.
This isn’t a role where you simply inherit a finished territory. You’ll help shape how we build the UK market.
