Job description

Little is a transdisciplinary design firm driven by one belief: great design has the power to elevate people, organizations, and communities. We're seeking a Project Architect to join our Mixed-Use | Workplace Studio in Charlotte, NC; Charleston, SC; Durham, NC; or Orlando, FL.

This is an opportunity to help shape the future of workplace design- from visionary corporate headquarters and mixed-use destinations to innovative speculative office environments that redefine how people work, connect, and thrive.

At Little, we don't simply deliver projects- we create places that perform. We challenge conventional thinking, embrace new technologies, and collaborate across disciplines to design environments that anticipate what's next. If you're energized by solving complex design challenges, mentoring others, and seeing your ideas become reality, we'd love to meet you.

You're an architect who believes that thoughtful design and technical excellence go hand in hand. You thrive in collaborative environments, enjoy leading teams through complex challenges, and are motivated by creating meaningful work that improves the client experience. You're someone who:

• Has experience delivering Workplace projects including Corporate Headquarters, Regional Offices, Speculative Office, and Mixed-Use developments.
• Enjoys transforming ambitious ideas into beautifully executed buildings.
• Brings curiosity, creativity, and sound judgment to every design challenge.
• Leads through collaboration, inspiring those around you while remaining eager to learn from others.
• Is passionate about mentoring emerging professionals, particularly in technical design and construction detailing.
• Communicates clearly through conversations, sketches, presentations, and construction documents.
• Excels at coordinating multidisciplinary teams and navigating complex project delivery.
• Possesses a strong understanding of design, planning, spatial relationships, materials, building systems, and detailing.
• Believes sustainability and high-performance design are fundamental to great architecture.
• Takes ownership, embraces accountability, and enjoys having fun while doing exceptional work.

What You'll Do

As a Project Architect, you'll play a pivotal role throughout the life of a project- from early concept through construction and owner occupancy. You'll have the opportunity to:

• Lead the technical development of inspiring Workplace and Mixed-Use projects.
• Collaborate with architects, interior designers, engineers, and specialty consultants in a truly integrated design process.
• Produce high-quality construction documents that reflect design excellence and technical rigor.
• Guide projects through construction administration while advocating for quality and client success.
• Mentor team members and contribute to a culture of continuous learning.
• Build lasting relationships with clients and consultants through trust, responsiveness, and leadership.
• Help advance how we design, document, and deliver projects by embracing innovation and emerging technologies.

Why Little

• Working alongside nationally recognized Workplace designers and technical leaders.
• Meaningful responsibility with the autonomy to make decisions and influence project outcomes.
• Diverse, high-profile projects that challenge and inspire.
