PRINCIPAL ARCHITECT
COLORADO
Compensation: $150,000-$180,000 + Performance Bonus
Join an established, multidisciplinary architecture & design firm known for award-winning resorts, hospitality destinations, residential communities, and recreation-focused environments—grounded in landscape, culture, and a true sense of place. This is a rare opportunity to step into a senior leadership position and help shape both the design direction and business growth of the practice.
What You’ll Do
- Lead strategy + growth: Build and expand a pipeline across resort, hospitality, mixed-use, multifamily, and destination-community work.
- Own client relationships: Act as trusted advisor for key accounts; guide projects from vision through construction.
- Drive design excellence: Provide senior design leadership on complex, context-sensitive projects—balancing creativity with budget, schedule, constructability, and sustainability.
- Guide multidisciplinary teams: Partner with architecture, master planning, landscape architecture, and interiors to create cohesive, memorable destinations.
- Mentor future leaders: Lead, coach, and develop architects in a collaborative studio culture.
- Oversee project performance: Support teams with executive-level oversight around scope, risk, profitability, and quality.
What We’re Looking For
- Professional degree in Architecture (accredited)
- Licensed Architect (AIA preferred), ideally Colorado-registered or eligible
- 12+ years of progressive experience with senior leadership responsibilities
- Proven leadership on resort/hospitality, mountain, environmentally sensitive, or destination-community projects
- Strong track record in client development and securing/expanding work
- Solid command of contracts, financials, delivery, codes/entitlements, and construction
- Excellent communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills
Why You’ll Love This Role
- Take real ownership of strategy, client pursuits, and design leadership in a respected international practice
- Work in a culture built on collaboration, contextual design, and exceptional quality
- Create destinations that feel authentic to Colorado’s—and the world’s—landscape
