Project Manager

cove is the world's first AI-powered, human-centered architecture firm. We're looking for a licensed Project Manager who wants to shape outcomes, not chase deliverables. We need someone ready to lead projects end-to-end across residential, commercial, hospitality, adaptive reuse, and specialized international work, from concept through CA. You'll partner with designers, engineers, and a proprietary AI toolset that handles the work that traditionally slows great architecture down like early-phase analysis, code checks, drafting everything one wall at a time, documentation QA so your time goes to design dialogue, client relationships, and getting buildings built well. You won't just use the tools: our PMs work directly with our in-house software team, and a new version ships every week. Joining now means outsized influence on what AI-native practice becomes.
