Architectural Team Lead (Retail) (33308)
About The Position
As an Architectural Team Lead at HFA, you’ll play a critical leadership role at the intersection of people, projects, and clients. You’ll be fully responsible for guiding client teams—overseeing project delivery, mentoring and developing designers and professionals, and ensuring exceptional outcomes for both our clients and our firm. This role is ideal for a collaborative leader who enjoys balancing design excellence, financial stewardship, and people development while contributing to the firm’s broader strategic goals. You’ll work closely with Senior Team Leads and Executives to shape team structure, drive profitable and high-quality project delivery, and support business development efforts. Beyond project leadership, you’ll be deeply invested in your team’s growth—setting clear expectations, fostering engagement, modeling HFA’s shared values, and creating an environment where people feel supported, challenged, and empowered to succeed. If you thrive in a role where leadership, accountability, and culture matter just as much as design and delivery, this position offers the opportunity to make a lasting impact.
