Olive + Opal Interiors is a strategic home staging company serving the St. Louis real estate market. We're hiring a full-time Lead Stager to own vacant staging projects from start to finish: previewing the listing, building the plan, pulling inventory, and leading the install on site.

This is a hands-on role. You'll spend most of your week in homes and in our warehouse, not at a desk. You'll work alongside our other Lead Stager and our logistics team, and you'll have the autonomy to make decisions on site.

• Lead 2-3 vacant staging projects per week, start to finish

• Preview upcoming listings and build a clear staging plan for each property

• Pull, pack, and prep staging inventory using StageForce, our inventory management system

• Lead installs on site and make sure every room meets Olive + Opal's standards

• Make sound decisions on site to protect quality and timelines

• Communicate layouts through simple floor plan sketches and our internal planning tools

• Coordinate timing and job needs with the logistics team

• Assist our other Lead Stager on their installs and destages, and lead your own projects with their support in return

• Flag inventory gaps and work with our inventory planning lead to plan ahead

• Assist with destaging: packing accessories and soft goods, removing art, and leaving each property clean

• Recommend inventory upgrades based on what's working in the market, and shop locally for rugs, accessories, and other items using a company card

• Attend weekly team meetings and help improve how we work

• Interact professionally with agents and homeowners on site

• Represent Olive + Opal at occasional networking and industry events

• At least one of the following: interior design experience, retail visual merchandising experience, or a home staging certification (such as Staging Studio or CSP)

• Strong visual judgment and the ability to style a room for how buyers will see it

• Organized, detail-oriented, and steady when plans change

• Able to own a project and lead without close supervision

• A team mindset: you work well in a group, are as comfortable assisting on another stager's project as leading your own, and communicate clearly with the logistics crew

• Comfortable with Google Workspace and willing to learn new software

• A valid driver's license, a reliable vehicle, and an acceptable driving record (a motor vehicle record check is part of our hiring process)

Physical requirements:

• Lift and carry up to 35 lbs, including up and down stairs

• Stand, walk, bend, and use ladders for most of the workday

• Move soft goods, art, accessories, rugs, and occasionally furniture

Helpful, not required

• Warehouse or inventory management experience

• A degree in interior design or a related field

• Real estate or staging industry experience

• Photography or social media content skills

Compensation and benefits

• Salary: $50,000-$54,000 per year, based on experience

• Total compensation of about $53,500-$57,500 per year, including the company-paid health premium and HSA contribution

• Group health insurance with 100% of the employee premium paid by the company (eligible after 90 days)

• $1,000 per year company contribution to your HSA

• SIMPLE IRA with a 3% company match (eligible after 90 days)

• 10 days of paid time off in year one, plus paid holidays

• $150 monthly gas stipend

• Company shirts provided

• Weekly team meetings and real input into how we work
