Candace Plotz Design is a full-service interior design studio based in Renfrew, specializing in high-end residential spaces that balance sophistication with effortless livability. Rooted in deep client connections and meticulous attention to detail, our work redefines luxury—creating homes that are as warm and inviting as they are elevated and enduring.
We’re recruiting for a Studio Operations Manager. This is a part-time, contract position based at our Renfrew office with the potential to transition into a permanent role.
The Studio Operations Manager excels at keeping a design studio running seamlessly—someone who brings equal parts organization, foresight, and hospitality, and who naturally notices the little things before anyone else does. You’ll treat the studio as if it were your own home or business, anticipating needs and taking care of them without being asked.
Your role is all about making sure the studio runs seamlessly so our design team can focus on what they do best. You’ll be the friendly face that greets clients, the steady hand that keeps the sample library beautiful and accessible, and the behind-the-scenes organizer who ensures every meeting is perfectly prepared.
Key Responsibilities:
- Maintain the studio’s appearance, organization, and flow, ensuring it’s always ready to host clients or creative work sessions.
- Keep the sample library orderly and inspiring.
- Respond to client inquiries promptly.
- Handle the day-to-day operations of the studio.
- Oversee scheduling, calendar management, and client communications to ensure smooth project workflows.
- Manage vendor relationships, coordinate and schedule vendor visits, and establish new trade accounts.
- Provide personal administrative support to the creative director.
- Organize and run weekly meetings.
- Accept, inspect and organize deliveries.
- Oversee and assist our bookkeeper with monthly invoice creation and distribution.
