Senior Designer – Workplace Design
Up to £50,000 + bonus | London | Hybrid working
Modus Careers is partnering with a leading design-led workplace specialist whose projects shape the way global brands think about space, culture, and collaboration.
After a period of rapid evolution, our client has grown from being a London design powerhouse to a European business with a London studio that delivers on a continental stage. Their work sits at the intersection of design, delivery, and innovation, creating intelligent, high-performance environments for some of the world’s largest corporate names.
This role is for a Senior Designer who thrives in fast-paced environments where creativity meets construction reality. You’ll join a team where design decisions are grounded in purpose, buildability, and client vision, not just visuals.
The Opportunity
This is an exceptional opening for a designer ready to step up. The studio is building a team that blends strategic design thinking with D&B delivery discipline. They’re looking for people who can think commercially, work collaboratively with main contractors, and bring design schemes to life that balance form and function.
- Lead projects from concept through completion, pitching to clients and developing full workplace schemes that tell a story
- From large corporate HQs to pan-European rollouts, every project demands energy, pace, and the ability to see the bigger picture, not just what sits on the floor plan

You’ll be used to managing multiple live projects, collaborating with project managers, and presenting your ideas with confidence.

- Experience in commercial workplace design is essential
- Fluency in AutoCAD, InDesign, and SketchUp
- If you’ve liaised directly with clients, led presentations, and contributed to design strategy, you’ll fit right in
- Above all, you’ll bring energy, composure under pressure, and a mindset built for growth
What You’ll Do
- Lead the design process from concept to completion, ensuring every scheme is both creative and commercially sound
- Present directly to clients, articulating the why behind your design decisions
- Collaborate with project management, sales, and furniture specialists to deliver cohesive workplace solutions
