Job description

BA Design | Seattle, Washington | Hybrid – 3 Days Per Week In-Office

The Opportunity

BA Design is seeking an experienced Interior Designer III to join its Seattle team and support a growing portfolio of large-scale workplace projects. This is an opportunity for a versatile designer who wants meaningful ownership throughout the design process—from programming and space planning through concept development, documentation, FF&E, coordination, and construction administration.

The Seattle team works on sophisticated workplace environments that may include corporate offices, collaboration and training spaces, cafés, amenity areas, executive spaces, and hospitality-inspired environments.

The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys leading design while remaining hands-on in the work, collaborating closely with clients and multidisciplinary project teams, and helping mentor less-experienced designers.

Why BA Design?

BA Design combines the resources and stability of a national architecture and interior design firm with the nimble, collaborative feel of a smaller Seattle studio.

This role offers the opportunity to:

• Work on significant, large-scale workplace projects
• Take meaningful ownership across multiple phases of design
• Collaborate directly with clients, architects, consultants, and project teams
• Build stronger project and client leadership skills
• Help shape the continued growth of the Seattle interiors practice
• Grow toward design leadership, client leadership, or business development

What You’ll Do

• Lead and contribute to programming, workplace strategy, space planning, and conceptual design
• Develop design solutions that align with client goals, project scope, schedule, and budget
• Create presentations, renderings, material palettes, finish selections, and FF&E concepts
• Translate design concepts into coordinated Revit documentation
• Coordinate with architects, consultants, contractors, vendors, and other project partners
• Participate in client meetings, presentations, and user-group discussions
• Research and specify materials, finishes, furniture, fixtures, and interior products
• Review drawings and project documentation for quality, coordination, and design intent
• Support projects through construction administration
• Mentor and collaborate with junior and mid-level designers

What You’ll Bring

• Approximately 7+ years of professional interior design experience
• NCIDQ certification is required.
• Meaningful experience with workplace or corporate interiors
• Experience working across multiple project phases, ideally from early design through construction administration
• Strong space planning and programming capabilities
• Advanced proficiency in Revit
• Experience developing design documentation and coordinating complex interior projects
• Strong knowledge of materials, finishes, FF&E, and interior detailing
• Client-facing experience
• A portfolio demonstrating strong design thinking and relevant project experience
• Ability to balance design leadership with hands-on execution
• Strong communication, organization, collaboration, and problem-solving skills
• A self-directed approach and willingness to take initiative
• Hospitality projects involving lounges, amenity areas, cafés, and similar environments
• Other large-scale commercial interiors requiring sophisticated space planning and coordination

Base Salary: $105,000–$120,000, depending on experience with bonus.

BA Design offers a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision insurance; life, short-term and long-term disability insurance; a 401(k) plan with employer match; and paid vacation, sick, holiday, and volunteer time.

The firm also supports continued professional development, mentorship, and long-term career growth.
