About Us

Aurelian Holiday Homes is a design-led, boutique short-term rental company specialising in curated, retro-luxury and modern spaces across Dubai. We manage premium apartments and villas, providing homeowners with a seamless end-to-end service — from interior styling and procurement to guest experience and listing optimisation.

We are expanding and looking for a junior, design-savvy, operations-driven teammate who is detail-oriented, proactive, and passionate about beautiful interiors.

Role Overview

This is a hybrid role combining operations, interior styling, and procurement support. You will work closely with the founder across all phases of setting up a new holiday home — from sourcing furniture and décor to coordinating deliveries, installations, staging, and assisting with listing preparation.

If you love interior design, enjoy being out on the field, and want to grow in a fast-paced hospitality/real-estate environment, this role is for you.

Key Responsibilities

Interior Styling & Design Support

• Assist in preparing design concepts, moodboards, and furniture selections.
• Support with styling and setup of new holiday homes (decor, accessories, linens).

• Coordinate with suppliers, track deliveries, and follow up on timelines.
• Compare quotations, negotiate basic pricing, and maintain cost sheets.

On-Site Setup & Operations

• Coordinate furniture installation, handyman visits, and cleaning schedules.
• Travel to project sites for measurements, quality checks, and handovers.
• Ensure each new unit is fully equipped with essential amenities.

Listing Support

• Assist with photography preparation (staging before the shoot).
• Support in preparing basic listing content (inventory, features, unit highlights).
• Assist with uploading listing content and cross-checking details (training provided).

Administrative & Logistics Tasks

• Maintain procurement logs, receipts, and onboarding checklists.
• Support holiday-homes permit documentation and basic compliance tasks.
• Handle small errands such as décor shopping and returns/exchanges.

What We’re Looking ForMust-Haves

• Passion for interior design (even if self-taught; strong aesthetic judgment).
• Proactive, organised, and responsible — able to work independently.
• Valid UAE driving licence (role requires frequent travel around Dubai).
• Strong communication skills in English.
• Willingness to learn holiday homes operations from scratch.

Nice to Have

• Previous experience in interior design, hospitality, real estate, or procurement.
• Basic knowledge of photography staging or graphic design.
