Senior Design Project Manager (Architect/Interior Design)

Flow•Bay Harbor Islands, FL

About The Position

The Senior Project Manager owns the end-to-end delivery of assigned Flow developments — driving each project across its full lifecycle (Concept → Design Development → GFC Documentation → FF&E Selection → Site Execution → Handover) on scope, schedule, budget, and brand. As the single point of accountability for every assigned project, this role orchestrates cross-discipline delivery across architecture, interior design, structural engineering, MEP, and landscape, while coordinating consultants, contractors, and internal design teams. The Senior Project Manager covers Flow's full project taxonomy—ground-up developments, conversion projects, third-party standard conversions, and tenant improvements/fit-out and reports to the Head of Design Management. This person sets the delivery cadence, governs change and risk, mentors Project Managers, and holds a zero-tolerance line on uncontrolled changes and undocumented decisions.

Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's in Architecture, Engineering, Construction Management, or a related built-environment discipline; PMP, PRINCE2, or RICS certification strongly preferred
10–15+ years of experience in project management on mid- to large-scale real estate development projects
Background at a real estate developer, project management consultancy, or tier-one contracting or consulting firm, with direct exposure to design-through-delivery project management
Proven end-to-end delivery of at least 5 mid-to-large real estate projects across ground-up, conversion, and fit-out types
Strong cross-discipline coordination experience across architecture, interior design, structural, MEP, and landscape
Commercial fluency—budgets, procurement, cost control, variations, and claims awareness
Exposure to multiple markets and regulatory environments, US and/or MENA preferred
Working knowledge of FIDIC/AIA contracts
Proficiency in Primavera P6 or MS Project, Procore or equivalent CDE platform, Bluebeam Revu, AutoCAD, and Revit (review level)
Comfortable leading and holding accountable consultants, contractors, and internal design teams
