[Hiring] Design Concierge @Somewhere

Role Description

The concierge is where a design turns into a real room, and where our members decide to buy. Members message at all hours. A thoughtful reply within minutes is often the difference between a sofa ordered and a cart abandoned.

• Behind every conversation is real execution. You will place large orders through our trade accounts with furniture brands, and the exact variant, size, finish and delivery address all have to be right the first time.
• A wrong order is costly for us and frustrating for the member.
• We are hiring because membership has outgrown our current concierge team.
• This role carries both halves of the experience: the warmth and design judgment that make members feel looked after, and the precision that ensures what arrives is exactly what they chose.
• It starts part-time, and our early concierge hires have already moved to full-time as volume grew.

Key Responsibilities

• Member Conversations & Design Advice:
  • Respond to members by text and email quickly and personally, so every message feels warm, clear and unmistakably human.
  • Give practical design guidance, such as whether a rug works with a sofa, what size fits a room, or which finish suits the light.
  • Answer questions about the app, membership, member savings and how ordering works.
• Sourcing & Alternatives:
  • Find alternatives when a piece is out of stock, over budget or not quite right, and explain why each option works.
  • Check dimensions, materials and lead times against the member's room and budget before recommending anything, since renderings are not measurements.
  • Look for the best available member pricing on every order.
• Order Placement & Trade Accounts:
  • Place furniture and décor orders on merchant websites through our trade partner accounts.
  • Confirm every detail before checkout: item, variant, color, size, quantity and shipping address.
  • Track orders and deliveries, update members proactively, and flag problems before members find them.
  • Support members with returns and exchanges within each retailer's policies.
• Member Operations:
  • Purchase and send gift cards accurately, and log every transaction.
  • Send a high volume of personalized texts and emails without template or copy-paste errors.
  • Keep clear notes so a teammate on the next shift can pick up any conversation mid-stream.
• AI-Assisted Workflow:
  • Use AI tools daily, including Claude Code and Codex with custom skills, to work faster without losing the human touch. Tool access and training are provided and fully funded.
  • Share what members are asking and where they get stuck, so we can improve the product and the concierge playbook.

Qualifications

• Proven attention to detail in operational work.
• You have handled orders, payments or transactions where a mistake costs money, and you double-check by default.
• Excellent written English.
• Your writing is natural, warm and error-free, and builds rapport over text.
• Design training and a genuine passion for interiors.
• Reliable availability for 80 hours per month of US Eastern Time shifts, with no competing full-time job during those hours.
• Comfort learning new software quickly and working across several tools at once.

Preferred Qualifications

• Customer support, concierge or e-commerce operations experience, ideally with US customers.
• Familiarity with US furniture and home décor brands and retailers.
• Design procurement experience, such as ordering, tracking and managing trade accounts for an interior designer or design studio.
• Hands-on experience with AI tools such as Claude Code or Codex.
• Availability for evening, overnight or weekend ET shifts.
• Interest in growing into a full-time role.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Someone who loves interiors and can explain a design choice in one friendly sentence.
• Meticulous, the person who reads an order back before clicking buy, every time.
• A natural writer who makes people feel looked after over text.
• Calm, responsive and personable, even when a message arrives at an unusual hour.
• Proactive, spotting the delayed delivery or the wrong finish before the member does.
• Curious about technology and excited to work alongside AI.
• Energized by an early-stage team where the role grows with you.

• Follow a clear path from part-time to full-time as the team grows.
• Get fully funded access to leading AI tools, tokens included, plus hands-on training.
