Senior Interior Designer

Senior Lead Designer

We're looking for a Senior Lead Designer in West Palm Beach who has run high-end residential projects on their own and wants more ownership and a share in the results. You'll lead your projects from the first client meeting through install. Most of our work is new construction, large renovations, and full furnishings for waterfront and equestrian homes in Palm Beach County. You'll report to the Principal Designer, but the day-to-day decisions on your projects are yours. The Principal stays in the loop but won't be on every client call or signing off on every selection. You'll be the client's main contact for the whole project, including when the news is a budget, timeline, or scope change. You'll run meetings, presentations, site visits, and walkthroughs, develop concepts and mood boards, lead sourcing for finishes, furniture, and styling, and produce or oversee full ID drawing sets. Material and vendor decisions within the approved budget and scope are yours, and so are the mid-project problems, like a discontinued fabric or a surprise on site. You'll work with architects, GCs, vendors, trades, and our project management team, lead each install through the punch list and final walkthrough, and direct the Junior Designer paired with your projects. You'll also manage each project to its target margin and track budget against contract as you go. Contract, fee, or scope changes, budget overages past an agreed amount, and serious client disputes still go to the Principal. Total compensation is $95,000 to $130,000+ depending on experience, made up of base salary plus profit share on every furnishings project you lead. We also offer unlimited time off, a hybrid schedule, a phone stipend, continuing education support, and a dog-friendly office. We're a growing firm, and you'd have real input into how we work, with plenty of room to grow along with us.
