Who You Are

You are passionate about the impact of design on people's lives and thrive on bringing strategy, clarity, and momentum to complex, multi-layered projects. You are collaborative by nature and enjoy both teaching and learning from others, understanding that the best outcomes come from exploration and the open exchange of ideas. You are a proactive and creative problem-solver with strong analytical skills, as well as a skilled communicator who builds lasting relationships with colleagues, clients, consultants, and contractors. You are genuinely design-oriented. You care about the quality and craft of the work, not just the schedule and budget. You are curious and growth-minded, energized by environments where every project pushes you forward. And finally, you are energized rather than intimidated by clients with high expectations.

We are seeking a Senior Project Manager to join our San Francisco studio and serve as the connective thread across a portfolio of workplace projects. Working directly with the Principals and Senior Designer leading the account for one of our fast-growing clients, you will drive consistency in client experience, operational efficiency, and strategic account health across all active engagements, while leading select smaller projects from kickoff through delivery. The role is tailored to focus on a single client first with room to evolve across other clients and teams.

The ideal candidates will have:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Architecture or Interior Design required.
• 7+ years of project management experience at an architecture or interior design firm; experience in workplace / corporate interior projects is essential.
• Demonstrated ability to deliver projects across a range of scales: from larger buildouts (200,000+ SF) to focused, agile spaces (sub-20,000 SF).
• Capable of managing multiple projects simultaneously and independently, as well as coordinating across a broader portfolio alongside other project managers and firm partners.
• Experience creating project proposals and fees, reviewing and managing contracts and invoices, and collaborating with internal and external accounting teams on billing and financial reporting.
• Strong knowledge of space programming, workplace strategy, and all phases of architectural services from Schematic Design through Construction Administration.
• Ability to guide project teams with a working understanding of building systems, sustainability requirements, accessibility, and code compliance.
• Experience managing cross-project staffing, manpower planning, and resource allocation across a studio or multi-project environment in a job captain capacity.
• Must have exceptional communication and organizing skills.
• Proficiency in Revit, Google Workspace, and Deltek Vantagepoint required.
• Licensure as an Architect or Interior Designer (or active pursuit) is a strong plus.
• Experience working within an international or multi-office practice is a strong plus.
  

Qualities sought to succeed in this role include a talent for building trust across all levels, with project teams, firm partners, and clients alike. Strong presentation and communication skills are very important.
