Global FF&E Procurement Director - Hotel Development

Director of FF&E Procurement Luxury Hotel Developer London | Some International Travel Do you know the luxury furniture market inside out? Do you have the contacts to prove it? We are delighted to be working exclusively with a privately-owned luxury hotel developer on a genuinely exciting appointment. Our client owns and operates a portfolio of wholly bespoke properties - each one a unique, considered world of its own - and with an ambitious pipeline of new builds and refurbishments ahead, they need a exceptional procurement professional to lead the FF&E function at director level. This is not a role for someone who works from catalogues. Our client operates at the very top of the market and sources furniture, lighting and objects that are as distinctive as the hotels themselves - bespoke commissions, artisan makers, pieces that cannot be found through conventional channels. The Director of FF&E Procurement will own this process entirely, from brief to installation, across every project in the portfolio. What We're Looking For

• Proven senior experience in FF&E procurement within luxury hotel development or high-end residential development - new builds and refurbishments both.
• Deep, current knowledge of the prime luxury furniture market - the key brands, the independent makers, the studios producing the most exciting work.
• An established network of supplier contacts you can activate from day one.
• A genuine eye for quality and an instinct for what makes a piece exceptional.
• Strong commercial skills - you can manage significant budgets and negotiate with the best suppliers in the world.
• The confidence and gravitas to operate at director level within a high-calibre development team. What's On Offer
• A director-level role with full ownership of the FF&E function.
• The opportunity to work on some of the most distinctive hotel projects being developed in the world right now.
• A London base with international travel as the pipeline demands.
