Stylist for Home Staging at Kim McCall Design in Bainbridge Island, WA

AT A GLANCE

Location: Bainbridge Island

Schedule: Full-time Feb–Sept; reduced schedule Oct–Jan. Almost entirely M–F, 9–5.

Location requirement: Kitsap County

Start: Negotiable, but ideally early December

THE JOB

This is an active job that gets you out from behind a desk and into beautiful luxury homes.

As a stylist, you’re the creative lead on staging projects. You’ll develop the styling strategy that reflects our brand and aesthetic; choose and place furniture, and own aesthetic decisions on the job. You’ll pull from a large, varied inventory to stage every style imaginable: Coastal, Mid-Century, French Country, Northwest Contemporary, Farmhouse, and everything in between.

You’ll also review the aesthetic decisions for a great crew of stagers who move bins, build beds, hang art, style kitchens, baths, and bookcases. You will be directly responsible for styling common areas and large furniture. The team completely furnishes an empty home in a single day.

It’s like ballet, but without the funny shoes. You’ll do and learn more about styling than you ever thought possible.

The physical part. You’ll be on your feet most of the day, climbing stairs, occasionally kneeling, and lifting up to ~20 lbs. Professional movers handle anything large or heavy, but everyone pitches in on light logistics. Think catering-level activity. You’ll definitely hit your steps goal.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Someone who can walk into a room and immediately see how to make it not just good, but great. That takes talent and experience, and ideally you have both. Relevant experience includes:

• Home staging or styling
• Interior design
• Retail styling or visual merchandising

Are you talented but haven’t done it professionally? We’d still love to hear from you. Show us your work: photos of real (not AI-generated) rooms you’ve styled can go a long way.

Equally important is your fit with our team. Our motto is “Work hard, be nice,” and we're serious about it.

Our next stylist must:

Stay calm under pressure and like to laugh

Lead by collaborating, not by commanding

Take direction well and give it kindly

Bring a positive, drama-free attitude to a small, close-knit team

Requirements

• Must be able to reliably commute to Bainbridge Island / North Kitsap (the ferry and long commutes don’t work for this role)
• A valid driver’s license and a reasonably clean driving record
• Because you’ll be in clients’ homes, we have to run a criminal background check

HOW TO APPLY

Apply through this platform with your resume and a link to your portfolio or photos of rooms you’ve styled. A note on why this role appeals to you will help you stand out from the crowd.
