Qualifications

• Have 7+ years of experience in workplace architecture and project delivery, with strong design and technical skills, including interior detailing and a working knowledge of building codes.

• Comfortable taking responsibility for projects and workstreams, managing competing priorities, and coordinating work across regions.
• Able to delegate work to consultants and hold them accountable without taking over their responsibilities.
• Can synthesize design, technical, financial, and operational input into practical recommendations, identifying solutions rather than simply documenting problems.
• Can make sound decisions with incomplete or changing information and maintain credible contingency plans.
• Can communicate clearly with designers, contractors, and colleagues, seek out others’ expertise, and challenge requirements constructively.
• Curious about new tools, including AI, and how they can streamline workflows and improve project quality.
• Proficiency with Bluebeam, Revit, AutoCAD, and Excel is preferred.
• Architectural licensure is preferred

Responsibilities

• Establishing project briefs, design priorities, scopes, budgets, schedules, and decision processes with colleagues.
• Developing initial test fits and reviewing and redlining consultant concepts, layouts, drawings, specifications, and details.
• Coordinating internal teams, external consultants, and contractors to ensure recommendations work across disciplines and reflect Jane Street’s priorities.
• Managing specialist partners, including furniture vendors, food service consultants, permitting consultants, artists, fabricators, and workplace strategists.
• Translating input from users, consultants, vendors, and internal teams into practical recommendations that balance design concept and user experience with constructability, schedule, budget, and long-term flexibility.
• Working with creative colleagues and specialist partners on materials, finishes, furniture, wayfinding, and installations.
• Overseeing construction administration, including RFIs, submittals, mockups, field observations, change proposals, punch lists, and closeout.
• Tracking decisions and risks, resolving open issues, and applying lessons from completed projects to future designs, standards, and ways of working
