We're a fast-moving startup in Penn Quarter looking for someone to come in, design our office layout, source great furniture, and get everything ordered and installed fast.
What you'll do:
You'll walk our ~4,500 sq ft space, understand how a small technical team works, and make smart decisions on furniture, layout, and aesthetics to make this space a modern industrial haven. Then you'll own the entire procurement and setup process end-to-end: sourcing, ordering, delivery coordination, and final placement. We want this done in weeks, not months.
We're looking for someone who:
- Has furnished offices or commercial spaces before (portfolio or references required)
- Knows where to source quality furniture quickly: contract dealers, direct-to-business brands, liquidation sales, whatever gets results
- Can work within a budget and make tradeoffs without hand-holding
- Is local to DC and available to start immediately
- Can manage delivery logistics and coordinate with building management
Nice to have:
- Experience with startup or tech office environments
- Relationships with furniture vendors in the DC metro area
- An eye for design that doesn't require a six-figure budget
- This is a short-term contract engagement. Scope is straightforward: make the office look and feel great, get it done quickly, and stay on budget.
