Business Partner – Sustainable Design Studio
Overview: I am seeking a passionate and driven business partner to join me in re-launching and running a forward-thinking Sustainable Design Studio. The studio is international and focused on innovative and sustainable garden, landscape, and exterior design, blending ancient practices with cutting-edge technologies to create eco-friendly and aesthetically impactful outdoor spaces. As the founder and majority stakeholder, I have already established the company’s infrastructure, branding, and framework, but I am looking for a dynamic partner to help elevate the business and collaborate on all future projects.
Key Responsibilities:
• Strategic Planning & Leadership: Work alongside the founder to shape and execute the studio’s vision, business strategy, and growth plans.
• Project Management & Collaboration: Lead and manage sustainable design projects from concept to completion, ensuring all projects align with the studio’s sustainability... goals and client expectations.
• Business Development & Client Relations: Identify new business opportunities, build partnerships, and maintain strong relationships with clients, suppliers, and stakeholders.
• Creative & Sustainable Innovation: Collaborate on creative design concepts that prioritise sustainability, utilising both traditional and innovative methods to develop impactful solutions.
• Financial Oversight: Assist with budgeting, financial forecasting, and investment strategies to ensure the business remains financially sustainable.
• Team Building & Management: Help grow and manage a talented team of designers, architects, and specialists, fostering a collaborative and eco-conscious work environment.
Ideal Candidate:
• Background in Design: Experience in landscape architecture, garden design, exterior design, or related fields, with a strong commitment to sustainable practices.
• Entrepreneurial Spirit: A proactive, entrepreneurial mindset, eager to take ownership and contribute to the growth of a sustainable design studio.
• Collaborative Leadership: Strong leadership skills with a passion for working collaboratively in a creative, dynamic, and fast-paced environment.
• Business Acumen: Understanding of business management, finance, and project development with the ability to contribute to the strategic direction of the studio.
• Sustainability Advocate: Deep knowledge and passion for sustainability, with a commitment to integrating eco-friendly solutions into all projects.
What’s on Offer:
• Equity Partnership: Significant stake in a growing sustainable design studio, with the opportunity to shape its future direction and success. (Please note this is not a salaried or hourly rate position, remuneration is directly from building client base and working collaboratively on projects.)
• Collaborative Leadership: Work alongside the founder to co-lead the business while enjoying creative autonomy in project design and management.
• Impactful Work: Contribute to projects that positively impact the environment, create eco-conscious spaces, and drive innovation in sustainable design.
• Flexible Structure: Flexibility to work on projects that align with your expertise, in an environment that encourages both creativity and sustainability.
If you are passionate about sustainability, design, and entrepreneurship, and are excited by the prospect of co-leading a sustainable design studio with a like-minded partner, I would love to hear from you. Any questions or enquiries abut this role are also welcomed alongside applications.
