About the Role
Kurt Geiger is looking for a Junior to Mid-Weight Store Designer to join our Store Design team, supporting the continued rollout of Kurt Geiger stores and concessions across the UK and internationally.
This is a hands-on retail design role, working within established brand concepts and adapting them intelligently to suit individual locations, store formats, and site conditions.
You will work across a varied portfolio including standalone stores, department store concessions, outlets, refurbishments, and smaller store interventions. The role covers the design process from initial space planning and concept adaptation through to 3D visualisation, design intent, and technical drawing packages.
Our project pipeline is fast-paced and international, with multiple projects often running concurrently across different markets. We're looking for someone with a strong design eye who is equally comfortable getting into the detail and taking ownership of their workload.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop store designs from initial survey and site information through to approved design intent packages.
- Adapt established Kurt Geiger store concepts to different footprints, formats, and site conditions while maintaining brand consistency.
- Produce fixture layouts, reflected ceiling plans, flooring plans, elevations, sections, and detailed design drawings as required.
- Create high-quality 3D visualisations using SketchUp and V-Ray for design development, internal reviews, landlord submissions, and design intent packs.
- Develop shopfronts, signage, finishes, lighting layouts, and architectural elements within the established store concept.
- Coordinate store layouts with visual merchandising requirements, product densities, operational requirements, and customer circulation.
- Review surveys, landlord drawings, department store information, and technical criteria and incorporate requirements into the design.
- Prepare comprehensive drawing and visual packages for landlord and design approvals, responding to comments and mark-ups as required.
- Coordinate with external architects and drawing teams where full construction drawing packages are produced by third parties.
- Liaise with millworkers, contractors, and suppliers to resolve design queries and review shop drawings, material samples, and finishes.
- Work closely with the wider Store Development team to ensure designs are practical and deliverable within programme and budget.
- Support value engineering and develop alternative solutions where required without compromising the overall design intent.
- Coordinate materials, finishes, and samples and maintain consistency across rollout projects.
- Attend site surveys, installations, and snagging visits where required.
- Maintain accurate drawing revisions and project information across a high volume of live projects.
- Support international projects, with opportunities for overseas travel.
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.
The Person
We're looking for someone who is practical as well as creative.
You don't need to arrive with years of experience developing completely new retail concepts from scratch. More important is a strong design eye, excellent CAD and visualisation skills, and the ability to understand an established concept and apply it intelligently to different sites.
You'll need to enjoy the variety that comes with retail rollout. One project might involve developing a full standalone store, while the next could be adapting the concept for a department store concession or resolving a site-specific design issue for an international opening.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You'll be joining a busy team with a significant global project pipeline, so you'll need to be organised, adaptable, curious, and comfortable taking ownership of your projects while working closely with the wider team.
Why Join Us?
- You'll work on a broad international portfolio of Kurt Geiger stores and concessions and gain exposure to the full lifecycle of retail design, from initial survey and space planning through design development, visualisation, technical coordination, manufacture, construction, and opening.
- You'll work alongside our Store Development, Visual Merchandising, Retail, and Creative teams, as well as architects, contractors, and manufacturers around the world.
- It's an opportunity to gain a significant amount of live project experience and develop both your creative and technical retail design skills within a fast-paced global fashion brand.
