Where Vision Meets Velocity

This role lives at the crossroads of imagination and execution. As our Design Project Manager, you’ll take bold concepts, sculpt them into buildable reality, and guide them through every line, layer, and milestone.

  • Orchestrate collaboration between architects, engineers, consultants, and internal teams

  • Keep schedules tight, budgets honest, and expectations aligned

  • Translate creative ambition into practical, buildable solutions

  • Manage design risks, RFIs, and value engineering without dulling the spark

  • Present design progress with authority, polish, and storytelling skill


The Tools & Talents You Bring

  • 5+ years of experience in design or construction project management

  • Deep understanding of design development, permitting, and construction documentation

  • A communicator who turns complexity into clarity

  • Strong grasp of schedules, contracts, and cost implications tied to design decisions

  • A balance of creative instinct and disciplined execution


Why This Role Shines

  • Be a central voice in shaping meaningful, lasting structures

  • Work with a team that respects both artistry and accountability

  • Competitive salary $110K–$130K, plus benefits and growth runway

  • Projects that challenge your brain and reward your vision


Design the path. Direct the process. Build something unforgettable.
If you thrive where creativity and construction shake hands, this is your stage.
