Reports to: Special Projects Manager

Calico Wallpaper creates bespoke, immersive wall coverings through a blend of fine art, innovation, and craft. Our work sits at the intersection of art, design, and architecture, and we collaborate with leading designers, architects, institutions, and global partners.

We are entering an exciting period of rapid growth, with new showrooms opening and an expanding calendar of installations, collaborations, and exhibitions. This role is an opportunity to join a small but dynamic team at the forefront of design, contribute meaningfully to creative and operational projects, and grow with the company.
