An ambitious, dependable, and organized junior stylist with a genuine passion for interior design, visual merchandising, and real estate staging. You're someone who loves to roll up your sleeves, thrives in a fast-paced creative environment, and is eager to learn directly from top-tier professionals.</div><div></div><div> 
This is not a desk job. You'll be out in the field, in the warehouse, and on staging installations.</div><div></div><div> 
What you'll do:</div><ul><li>
Conduct property walkthroughs with real estate agents to assess design and staging needs.</li><li>
Complete pick sheets and pull inventory from our curated warehouse.</li><li>

A plus, but not required: prior experience in visual merchandising or styling, especially in home decor. Candidates with this background will receive elevated consideration.</div><div></div><div> 
Why this role is different</div><div>
From day one, you'll be a core part of real projects, leading walkthroughs, pulling inventory, assisting on installs, and learning from one of the most respected staging teams in the country. It's a rare chance to gain real-world experience in a professional, high-style environment, with genuine room to grow into more senior roles.</div><div></div><div> 
How to apply</div><div>
A cover letter is required. Tell us why you're excited about staging and design and what you'd bring to the team. Applications without a cover letter won't be reviewed, we read every cover letter we receive, and it's the best way to stand out.</div><div></div><div>
