Senior Interior Designer

Perkins&Will • San Francisco, CA

4d

About The Position

This is a 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 90+-person SF studio 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 2,800-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.

Requirements

• 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

Responsibilities

• 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

Benefits

• 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
