Keep the Design function moving — and build the systems that help it scale.

The King Difference
This is not just a coordination role where you manage calendars and chase approvals.

This is an operational role at the heart of King Living's Design function — ensuring product information flows accurately from development through to launch, maintaining the Product Wiki as the business's central knowledge hub, and proactively identifying risks before they impact the teams that depend on Design to move. You will work across product development, manufacturing, eCommerce, marketing, retail and legal teams, coordinating the operational activities that allow Designers to stay focused on what they do best.

With a strong focus on AI and knowledge management, you will also support the adoption of AI-powered tools — and continuously improve the systems and processes that underpin how the Design department operates at scale.

If you are a detail-driven, proactive coordinator who thrives on operational clarity, builds strong cross-functional relationships, and is genuinely excited by the intersection of knowledge management and AI — this is the role for you.

What You Will Own

Launch Readiness & Operational Flow
Coordinate Design's New Product Introduction deliverables — maintaining visibility of dependencies and deadlines, and proactively identifying risks before they impact downstream teams.

Product Information Management
Coordinate the collection, preparation and distribution of Design-owned product information required for launches — ensuring accurate, timely information reaches eCommerce, Marketing, Retail, Legal and other teams.

Product Knowledge & AI Readiness
Own the Product Wiki as the Design function's central knowledge base — coordinating documentation updates across Design, Manufacturing and R&D, and supporting the adoption of AI-powered knowledge systems.

Design Operations
Coordinate recurring operational activities including design awards submissions, QR code and compliance artwork, design registrations, patent administration, sample ordering, and SOP documentation.

Continuous Improvement
Identify opportunities to simplify processes, improve information flow, and reduce manual administration — supporting the adoption of AI and technology to build scalable systems for the future growth of the Design department.

Who You Are

You will likely come from an operational coordination, project support or knowledge management role — ideally within a product development, manufacturing, design or industrial environment. What matters most is your attention to detail, your proactive mindset, and your ability to keep complex workflows moving without losing accuracy or visibility.

You are a detail-driven, systems-minded coordinator who takes genuine pride in keeping things running well — and making them run better over time.

• Strong ability to coordinate multiple concurrent activities, manage competing priorities and maintain visibility across complex workflows
• Proactive and forward-thinking — you anticipate upcoming tasks, identify risks early, and take initiative to keep things progressing
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills — able to build productive relationships across cross-functional teams and follow up with confidence
• Highly detail-oriented with the ability to accurately manage product information across a complex product ecosystem
• Proficient in Microsoft Office — able to quickly learn and work confidently across business systems, knowledge management platforms and AI tools
• Experience with Confluence, Atlassian products such as Jira and Rovo, or similar platforms is advantageous
• Working knowledge of Adobe Illustrator to edit or prepare design documentation is desirable
• Experience supporting NPI, product development, manufacturing or industrial design environments is desirable
• King Living product knowledge via showroom or other experience is a genuine advantage
