Design Associate (Home Staging)

Job Description

If interested, preference is given to those who apply at :

Mayker is looking for a Design Associate to lead the execution of our home staging installations. This is a hands-on, in-the-field role where you'll transform empty properties into spaces that feel warm, intentional, and ready to sell. You'll work closely with our design lead and delivery team to bring staging designs to life—directing furniture placement, styling rooms, and ensuring every detail is thoughtfully considered.

The ideal candidate has a strong design eye and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves. You're equally comfortable pulling styling details at the warehouse, directing an install on-site, and adjusting a pillow until it's just right. Our delivery team handles the heavy lifting—you handle the vision and execution.

What You'll Do

• Pull and organize styling inventory and decor details at the warehouse—reviewing load lists with the warehouse manager to ensure each home is well-prepared
• Direct furniture placement and room layouts on-site, working alongside the delivery team to bring the Design Lead's vision to life
• Style each room with finishing touches—making beds, arranging art, placing plants, and accessorizing thoughtfully to create warmth and intention
• Work with photographers on shoot day to ensure each space is camera-ready and styled to sell
• Create a "shoppable" experience within the home—making it feel lived-in, not staged
• Oversee styling details during load-outs, ensuring decor items are carefully packed and returned
• Complete a Design Debrief after each install, flagging any inventory gaps or site challenges for future projects
• Provide input to the Design Lead on staging concepts and spatial solutions as needed
• Assist with interior design installs as requested
