Senior Interior Designer - Workplace

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
• You can run a room — client presentations, design reviews, consultant coordination
• 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 Commitment

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.

How to Apply

Submit a resume and a compact, representative portfolio (no larger than 4MB). Show us what you've led, not just what you've touched.
