About The Position

Join the 2025 AIA Firm Award Winner shaping a more sustainable future. LPA is a collective of architects, designers, engineers, and researchers committed to tackling the biggest issues of our time. Our "No Excuses" integrated design approach was recognized by the AIA as “a trailblazer in sustainable, high-performance architecture." At LPA you’ll be part of a team that is changing the way the industry thinks about design and carbon emissions, built around the belief that we only achieve our goals when everybody has a seat at the table and all input is valued. LPA is seeking a versatile Senior Editor to work within our Integrated Communications team. The ideal candidate would be someone who can work across a variety of journalistic forms and distill complex, jargon-rich topics into narrative content that a general audience—not just an architect or someone interested in the discipline—can read. We aim to produce content showcasing vibrant projects and solutions—how they came to be, and why the world of integrated design is so critical today. This is an opportunity to join a thriving team producing a top-tier quarterly print magazine, engaging web articles and other branded content—and, moreover, a great company filled with brilliant colleagues.
