About This Role

We are hiring a Staging Specialist to prepare NYC apartments, townhouses, and condos for real estate sales and rentals. You will work with our design team to transform empty or lived-in properties into aspirational, market-ready spaces that photograph beautifully and appeal to buyers. This role combines logistics, styling skill, and speed — staging projects often need to be completed in one to two days.

  • Work with real estate photographers to ensure spaces are styled for optimal photography
  • Manage staging inventory — track items, schedule pickups, handle returns
  • Conduct property walkthroughs and develop staging plans with the design team
  • De-stage properties after sale or listing period ends
  • Maintain staging supplies (linens, accessories, styling props) in organized condition

Qualifications

  • 2+ years of home staging, visual merchandising, or interior styling experience
  • Strong eye for composition, color, and spatial arrangement
  • Knowledge of current design trends and buyer preferences in the NYC real estate market
  • Ability to work quickly and efficiently under tight deadlines
  • Experience working with staging furniture rental companies
  • Physically able to move and arrange furniture, hang art, and style for extended hours
  • Valid driver's license and ability to transport styling supplies
  • Portfolio or photos demonstrating staging work
