City of Melbourne, Australia Levande Pty Full time

Design with purpose. Shape communities that enhance wellbeing, connection, and independence.

Levande is reimagining retirement living in Australia. As a leading owner, operator, and developer of vibrant communities for older Australians, we’re passionate about creating places where people live well, every day.

We’re seeking a Design Manager to help bring this vision to life. You’ll lead design strategy across a growing national portfolio, creating spaces that are thoughtful, functional, and future‑ready.

This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced and registered Architect with a strong and stable track record, particularly in residential or retirement living apartments. We’re looking for someone who brings both creative thinking and disciplined project delivery, and who is ready to shape the next generation of communities.

About the Role

As Design Manager, you’ll lead design direction across multiple residential and mixed‑use projects, from early feasibility through to delivery. Working closely with internal teams and external consultants, you’ll ensure each project meets resident needs, aligns with commercial goals, and reflects Levande’s high standards of design.

This role offers scope to influence strategy, evolve design frameworks, and play a pivotal role in Levande’s future developments.

What You’ll Do

- Lead and manage the design of new and existing development projects

- Contribute to the evolution of Levande’s design strategy, standards, and Playbook

- Oversee consultant selection and ensure consistent, high‑quality delivery

- Conduct feasibility test fits and design reviews for new site acquisitions

- Champion innovation, customer‑centric design, and sustainability

- Collaborate with Development, Operations, Acquisitions, and Marketing teams

What You’ll Bring

- A degree in Architecture with 7+ years’ experience, including 5+ years as a Project Architect

- A stable work history and demonstrable success delivering residential or retirement living apartment projects

- Strong ability to manage complex projects with multiple stakeholders

- Proficiency in Revit, Bluebeam, and BIM 360

- A passion for purposeful, resident‑focused design and a customer‑first mindset

Experience in client‑side roles, retirement living, or masterplanned communities will be highly regarded.

Why Join Levande?

At Levande, you’ll be part of a passionate and values‑driven team that’s reshaping the future of retirement living. We offer:

- A chance to influence national design standards and strategy

- Flexible working arrangements and an inclusive, collaborative culture

- Meaningful work that makes a lasting impact in people’s lives

Apply now and help design a better future for retirement living.
