• Lead and mentor junior and mid-level designers on a day-to-day basis
• Coordinate interior design efforts with architectural and external consultant teams
• Manage project schedules, budgets, and QA processes
• Interface directly with clients to manage expectations, presentations, and feedback
• Oversee and review design packages and documentation at all stages

Required Skills & Experience

• 10 years of professional interior design experience, ideally within cultural/public/hospitality sectors
• Prior experience as a Senior Interior Designer or Associate-level team lead
• Strong Revit and Adobe Suite skills; familiarity with FF&E and interior detailing
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with clients and internal teams
• A portfolio demonstrating complex, large-scale or high-profile interior environments
• Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Interior Design, Interior Architecture, or a related field

• Step into a leadership role with real autonomy and visibility across projects
• Work in an environment that values strong process, smart design, and thoughtful collaboration
• Hybrid flexibility, long-term growth, and exposure to some of the most culturally impactful projects in the city
