Job description

Overview

We are seeking a bold, future-focused Interior Design Director to lead our award-winning Boston interior design practice. This is more than a leadership role—it’s a rare opportunity to shape the next era of interior environments at one of the most innovative interdisciplinary design firms on the planet.

As a member of the studio’s leadership team, you’ll partner closely with the Architecture Design Director to champion ideas that challenge convention, promote sustainability and equity, and elevate the human experience through design. You’ll help define what’s next—not just what’s now.

We’re looking for someone with the vision to inspire, the rigor to deliver, and the passion to build teams, relationships, and culture.

What You’ll Lead

Design Excellence - You’ll lead the creative direction of interior projects—whether standalone or integrated—pushing boundaries in sustainability, material health, and craft. You’ll ensure every detail aligns with our mission : design a better, more just world.

Studio Culture - You’ll shape an inclusive, creative studio environment where ideas thrive. You’ll recruit, mentor, and grow the next generation of design leaders.

Client Relationships - As a strategic partner and design advocate, you’ll build trust with clients from day one and position our studio as a go-to for bold, values-driven design.

Integrated Collaboration - You’ll work hand-in-hand with architects, planners, consultants, and researchers to develop truly interdisciplinary solutions.

Business Development - You’ll lead pursuits, craft narratives, and represent the Boston studio in interviews and market-facing efforts.

What You Bring

  • 15+ years of interior design leadership across a range of project types (workplace, education, healthcare, civic, or others).
  • Professional licensure (e.g., NCIDQ, Architectural license).
  • An inspiring design portfolio, including recognized or award-winning work.
  • Deep fluency in interior codes, systems, and standards.
  • Experience guiding multidisciplinary teams from concept through delivery.
  • Strong client communication, negotiation, and budget management skills.
  • Experience in Revit, Rhino, Grasshopper, Adobe Suite, Enscape, and VRay.
  • Direct experience in coordinating consultants, including Lighting, Acoustics, AV, MEPFP and Structure.

Preferred Credentials

  • Bachelor's degree in interior design, architecture, or a related field.
  • LEED GA required within 6 months of hire; WELL AP or Living Future Accreditation a plus.
  • Who You Are

  • A visionary thinker and dynamic communicator.
  • A creative leader driven by purpose and curiosity.
  • A champion of sustainability, equity, and inclusion in design.
  • A mentor who thrives on building talent and empowering teams.
  • A collaborator who believes the best ideas are shared.
  • This is your chance to leave a legacy—not just a footprint. If you’re ready to lead interior design at the highest level of innovation, join us in shaping a more beautiful, healthy, and equitable world—from the inside out.

    Please submit a portfolio of design work that expresses both the quality of your completed projects and your unique design passions.
