About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Deliver best-in-class Corporate Interiors project management as a player/coach by personally leading projects and overseeing a regional team, delivering $1M to $50M+ projects that elevate workplace experience, align with brand standards, and minimize operational disruption.
Own full lifecycle delivery for interiors programs: planning, budgeting, scheduling, procurement, construction, commissioning, move-in, and closeout; with disciplined controls and transparent reporting.
Lead clients and project teams through interiors design implementation: programming, test fits, concept and schematic design, design development, construction documents, permit submissions, and sign-off; ensuring alignment to workplace guidelines, risk, and budget.
Build integrated master schedules covering permitting, long-lead procurement (e.g., systems furniture/AV/MEP equipment), phased construction, inspections, commissioning, and move/activation; actively manage milestones and critical path across concurrent sites.
Develop detailed interiors budgets grounded in market pricing for TI/fit-out, MEP upgrades, IT/AV, security, signage/branding, finishes, and FF&E, with clear assumptions, alternates, and value engineering options.
Orchestrate cross-functional delivery: Design, General Contractor, MEP engineers, IT/Network, AV, Security, Workplace Strategy, Change Management, Move Services, and Facilities to ensure a seamless, operationally ready Day 1.
Ensure on-time, on-budget completion via rigorous QA/QC on drawings, submittals, mockups, finish installations, MEP coordination, punch lists, and life-safety sign-offs; track performance via CPI/SPI, change order rates, safety, and client satisfaction.
Provide decisive leadership, coaching, and oversight to PMs and coordinators; standardize interiors playbooks, procurement strategies, and field protocols to drive consistent outcomes across portfolios.
Cultivate trusted client partnerships by translating business goals (density, hybrid work, resilience, ESG) into actionable interiors programs—optimizing space, wellness, acoustics, technology enablement, and post-occupancy performance.
