You will manage a full project load, collaborate across interior design, architecture, project management, and construction teams, and mentor junior designers while upholding studio standards and processes.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Interior Design, Interior Architecture, or a related field.
8+ years of professional interior design experience, ideally on custom, high-end residential projects, including leading design on large-scale, complex projects.
Proficiency in Revit (required); proficiency in visualization tools and Adobe Creative Suite is a plus.
Experience working through all phases of design, from schematic design to construction documents and through installation.
Strong knowledge of finishes, materials, FF&E, lighting, and millwork, along with relevant building codes and accessibility requirements.
A portfolio that demonstrates original, inventive design work and resolved technical documentation on complex residential projects.
Familiarity with the design industry community, including vendors, showrooms, and organizations.
A track record of improving processes and supporting the work of a design team.
Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.

Responsibilities

Develop interior design for large-scale, complex projects across all phases, from space planning and layouts through finishes, fixtures, furnishings, and lighting.
Bring original, inventive thinking to every project, exploring ideas boldly before refining them into a cohesive, resolved design.
Translate design concepts into clear presentations, material palettes, and renderings that help clients see and feel the vision.
Produce interior drawings, elevations, millwork details, and specifications for your projects, carrying design intent all the way to installation.
Ensure quality, consistency, and code compliance across all interior documentation.
Curate and specify finishes, materials, fixtures, furniture, and décor, balancing aesthetics, performance, lead times, and budget.
Coordinate closely with clients, the architecture team, and the construction team to align design vision, schedules, and budgets.
Manage relationships with vendors, showrooms, fabricators, and trades by tracking samples, orders, and lead times, and following up until every item is delivered and installed.
Partner with the design project managers and construction team to resolve field conditions and keep installations true to design intent.
Own assigned projects end to end, managing your own schedule, priorities, and deliverables.
Balance your own project production with broader studio responsibilities, managing your time so that both move forward.
Exercise sound judgment when editing design options and weighing client wishes, budget, and function, knowing what to keep, what to cut, and when to push an idea further.
Serve as a go-to resource for interior designers, offering guidance and a second set of eyes when questions come up on their own projects.
Review drawings, selections, and presentations on projects beyond your direct assignments, helping maintain quality and consistency across the studio's portfolio.
Identify opportunities to improve studio processes, workflows, templates, and standards, and partner with the Studio Operations Director to put them in practice.
Help uphold the studio's design and technical standards and contribute to its resource library and best practices.
