Décor & Procurement Specialist | Namibia

𝗝𝗗 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 is recruiting on behalf of an exclusive luxury safari destination in Namibia for an experienced and design-savvy 𝗗𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗥 & 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗖𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗧

📌 𝗣𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘 𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗘 – This position is based in Windhoek with regular travel within Namibia and South Africa

Our client is a privately owned luxury safari operation in Namibia, known for warm, personal hospitality and outstanding wildlife encounters. They are looking for a detail-oriented professional with a genuine eye for design – someone who knows that the feel of the linen, the weight of the glassware and the fall of a curtain shape how every guest experiences a lodge. This is a chance to join a passionate leadership team, with scope to grow into wider interior decorating work over time.

Based in Windhoek with regular travel within Namibia and to South Africa, the successful candidate will source and manage FF&E, linen, décor and guest-facing items for all of the group’s lodges, making sure every purchase matches their luxury look and quality standard. Key duties include taking purchase orders from approval to delivery, choosing like-for-like replacements for everyday items, liaising with suppliers and freight companies, tracking and correctly labelling deliveries for each lodge and department, reconciling invoices and procurement records, monitoring stock levels, and supporting the appointed Interior Decorator with sourcing and logistics on soft refurbishment projects. You will work closely with the operations and standards team on approvals and lodge condition checks.
