  • Identify new revenue opportunities through owner behavior analysis and market insights.
  • Partner with Supply Chain & Operations to build scalable processes, sourcing strategies, and regional design approaches.
  • Support global expansion through regional palette development and sourcing opportunities.
  • Participate in strategic initiatives across staffing, supply chain innovation, and new technology adoption.

Systems, Tools & Process Development

  • Help modernize design workflows by implementing dynamic, collaborative tools (Google Workspace, Salesforce, Houzz, etc.).
  • Use product performance and failure data to refine Pacaso’s design and sourcing standards.
  • Contribute to long-term design roadmaps that balance creativity with operational and financial discipline.

 

About You

  • 10+ years of interior design experience in luxury residential; hospitality or boutique commercial experience preferred.
  • Strong portfolio demonstrating sophisticated design, clear storytelling, and execution within budgets and timelines.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
