Design Manager

We’re looking for a Design Manager.

Not the kind that simply manages tasks.

The kind that manages momentum.

Someone who can hold the big picture while staying deeply connected to the details.

We’re looking for someone who is equally comfortable reviewing millwork details, leading a client presentation, managing project timelines, coordinating procurement deliverables, mentoring designers, and holding a team accountable to deadlines and standards.

Someone who can walk into complexity and create clarity.

Someone who understands that leadership is not about ego.

It’s about ownership.
