Melbourne, Australia Populous Full time

**APAC Design Lead**

At Populous, our teams **design the places where people love to be together**. We are a unique global design company built on the philosophy and power of **drawing people together** to have incredible experiences. The spaces and experiences we create inside of these venues and our projects are equally important to the overall architectural look and feel.

**Design Lead role**
We are currently on the lookout for a world-class Design Lead to take us forward into the future as we continue the development of all design-related aspects of our work, working hand-in-hand with our architectural and interior design teams.

Our future Design Lead will:

- Influence the design culture and encourage team members to pursue design-based solutions.
- Naturally coach, mentor and develop our next generation of designers.
- Instill a culture where great ideas can come from anyone at any time.
- Undertake design reviews and highlight potential improvements.
- Work closely with our project design teams in a lead role to provide key design aspects and direction.
- Work closely with our sustainability team to implement holistic design processes.
- Create and implement guidelines for clearer understanding and easier compliance.
- Encourage physical pin-ups of projects so each office is engaged.
- Review usage of current platforms (3D and graphic) to improve workflows.

While this role is an APAC role, with regular travel required, we would ideally like for the incumbent to be* located in either our Brisbane, Sydney, or Melbourne offices.*

This role will work alongside our design teams to positively influence and guide the Populous design direction. This role will also work closely with our APAC Directors, ensuring this role is positioned at a senior level within the company.

**Why Populous stands out from the rest**
We don’t consider ourselves just another design company. At Populous, we know that our strength comes from our **diversity**. Our APAC team represents over 35 different nationalities from all walks of life. We actively **celebrate** **these cultures** and are committed to creating a connected team culture that embraces and supports this. We are a truly global company, with offices and projects located throughout the APAC region - **which means endless opportunities, development, **and* adventures**. **Our diversity also extends into the teams we have. We are a company that understands the **value of having highly skilled support teams** that enable our design teams to truly focus on creating world-class urban design projects.

We invest heavily in **sustainable design** practices and have active **Corporate** **Social Responsibility and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion** strategies in place that are making a difference to not only our team but the wider communities in which we operate across the APAC region. We, of course, also provide industry-leading salary packages, benefits, and continuing professional development (CPD) opportunities, including in-house leadership development pathways and technical knowledge-sharing workshops just to name a few

We also fully understand that work is only a portion of our lives and that our team has **commitments**, **hobbies, and interests outside of work**.* To support this, we offer benefits that enable a healthy balance between work and life and include things like a wide range of **extended paid leave entitlements, industry-leading** **support services for various stages of life**, **and **flexible working arrangements that** **cater to individual circumstances.**

**Want to see what it’s all about?**
Yes, we want highly skilled designers. That’s a given. But more importantly, we want people who embody our values, are truly energized by the work we do, want to be genuinely involved in the initiatives we are developing, and, most importantly, who bring fun to our work environment and culture.

If you would like to have a chat with us about being part of the Populous team then feel free to pop your **Cover Letter, CV,** and **Profile** through to us. We really look forward to chatting with you very soon
