The Opportunity

We are working with an active real estate developer delivering luxury condominium projects across the US, based in Miami. As their pipeline continues to grow, they are seeking an AIA, Architect / Design Manager to take ownership of the full design process from the owner developer side.

This is not a pure architecture role. It is a design management position for someone who understands how great buildings are delivered through coordination, discipline, and commercial awareness. The role sits at the centre of consultants, contractors, and internal stakeholders, ensuring design intent, programme, and quality are aligned from concept through execution.

The Role

You will be responsible for managing the end-to-end design process on condominium developments, acting as the key interface between external design teams and the internal development organisation. Leading international renowned architectural practices to deliver world-class projects.

• Ensuring design teams are aligned, coordinated, and meeting agreed deadlines
• Providing consultants with clear, timely information required to complete designs effectively
• Reviewing layouts, unit mixes, and plans to maximise space efficiency and functionality
• Interfacing internally with development, construction, and leadership teams to gather feedback and adjust designs accordingly
• Maintaining design quality while balancing cost, programme, and buildability

About You

This role suits someone who has moved, or is ready to move, from the design studio into a developer-led environment.

You are likely to have:

• A background in architecture by training, education, or licensure
• Experience working within an architectural or design practice, with exposure to residential, hospitality or condo projects
• Proven experience project managing design teams, not simply producing drawings
• Strong coordination skills across multiple consultants and disciplines
• A practical understanding of how design decisions impact cost, schedule, and delivery
• Condominium OR hospitality OR branded residential exposure expected

Why This Role

• A hands-on design leadership role on prominent Miami condominium developments
• Direct influence over layouts, quality, and execution rather than purely conceptual work
• Close collaboration with development and construction teams
• A platform that values design discipline, coordination, and delivery

If you are a design professional who enjoys managing complexity and turning vision into buildable reality, this role will strongly appeal.
