Yo-Chi Retail Designer
Job Description
Yo-Chi is on a serious growth trajectory, and we’re looking for a talented, detail-obsessed, brand-aligned designer to help us roll out new venues across the country. Think of it as designing happiness—one fro-yo-filled space at a time.
We work flexibly (no head office!), but we love coming together in our venues to soak up the energy and bring ideas to life.
About Yo-Chi
Yo-Chi was born from an idea to bring together delicious frozen yogurt and toppings, with an infinite flow of good energy, in a space where people of all ages can connect. Since opening our first venue in Balaclava in 2012, we’ve grown to 44 venues and are now preparing for global expansion in 2025. As a proudly Australian, family-owned business, we put chi (positive energy) at the heart of everything we do.
About The Role
The Retail Designer will be responsible for bringing our venues to life—ensuring every new space reflects our brand’s signature warmth, energy, and inviting atmosphere. Working closely with our Design Director, you’ll support on concept development, materials selection, and project coordination to ensure every new Yo-Chi venue is a place people love to visit.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Developing and executing interior design concepts that align with Yo-Chi’s brand vision.
- Managing venue design projects from concept to completion with high-level guidance from the Design Director.
- Selecting finishes, lighting, and materials to create cohesive, brand-aligned spaces.
- Liaising with drafters to review and mark up construction drawings.
- Coordinating design approvals, building permits, and regulatory compliance.
- Managing external contractors and vendors to ensure seamless execution.
What We’re Looking For:
- 3+ years’ experience in interior design, ideally in retail or hospitality.
- Strong understanding of branding in physical spaces and customer experience.
- Ability to manage multiple projects, timelines, and stakeholders.
- Experience in AutoCAD, SketchUp, Revit or similar design software is desirable.
- A detail-oriented, problem-solving mindset with a love for creating beautiful, functional spaces.
Why Join Us?
- Play a key role in shaping the future of Yo-Chi’s store design.
- Work flexibly with a passionate, fast-growing team.
- See your designs come to life in high-profile retail locations across Australia.
- Be part of a brand that’s all about happiness, energy, and innovation.
