- Collaborate and connect: Work hand-in-hand with Business Development and Construction to deliver seamless project experiences.
- Deliver with excellence: Oversee detailed construction documentation, maintain design standards, and ensure compliance with local codes.
- Drive innovation: Contribute to our evolving design approach and help shape the creative DNA of Unispace.
About you
- A creative leader with 15+ years' experience in interior design, especially across corporate interiors (law, finance, entertainment, marketing, etc.).
- Confident in client-facing roles, from pitching concepts to building long-term partnerships.
- Fluent in Revit and Adobe Creative Suite, with strong technical and detailing expertise.
- Passionate about mentorship, design excellence, and exploring new ways of working.
- Organized and proactive — you balance big-picture thinking with on-time, on-budget delivery.
- A collaborative communicator who thrives in multidisciplinary environments.
