Description

You lead. We back you up.

This is a day one design leadership role, not a production seat. You'll drive creative direction on global workplace interiors projects for clients who trust us because we've earned it — and you'll have a 100+-person SF studio and a team of global designers behind you to execute at the level you'd be proud of.

Most senior designers face a choice: a large firm with resources and low visibility, or a small firm with ownership and limited scope. This role sits in a third lane — a focused studio inside a 3,000-person global firm. You'll lead marquee projects worldwide, know your MD by name, and build a career with real credit attached to real work.

What You'll Do

• Lead design direction, client engagement, and presentations for marquee workplace projects
• Own the creative vision from concept through construction — SD, DD, and CDs
• Direct, coordinate, and mentor junior designers; build the next generation of talent
• Facilitate programming, respond to technical implications of design decisions
• Manage design budget, cost control, and schedule for your projects
• Coordinate consultants, contractors, and vendors as an integrated design leader

What We're Looking For

• 10–15+ years of interior design experience, with a strong workplace portfolio
• Proficiency in Revit; strong 3D visualization and graphic communication skills
• Solid command of building codes, specifications, and technical documentation
• NCIDQ licensed; LEED AP (or willing to obtain within 6 months of hire)
• Professional degree in Interior Design or related field

What You'll Get

Salary range: $128,800–$189,300, commensurate with experience, education and skillset.

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) retirement plan and paid time off
• Professional development stipend and dedicated continuing education time
• Performance-based bonuses
• Access to firmwide affinity groups and leadership development programs
• Studio initiatives and events; a team that actually likes each other

Our culture is grounded in a firmwide commitment to Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) — not as a tagline, but as how we hire, promote, and build teams. We conduct annual pay equity audits and train all managers on pay practices. We believe inclusion drives creativity.
