[Hiring] Senior Interior Designer @JLL

Role Description

The Senior Interior Designer plays a pivotal role within the Project Delivery Services (PDS) team by leading the interior design strategy and execution for complex, multi-site, or high-profile workplace projects. This position combines creative vision with technical expertise to deliver client-centric, code-compliant, and brand-aligned interior environments across corporate, technology, financial, and professional services sectors.

You will mentor junior designers, collaborate closely with project managers, architects, engineers, and external consultants, and serve as a trusted design advisor to clients throughout the project lifecycle—from programming and concept development through construction administration and occupancy.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead interior design efforts on mid-to-large scale commercial interior projects, including workplace strategy integration, space planning, materiality, lighting, FF&E, and user experience.
• Develop and present compelling design concepts, mood boards, finish palettes, and 3D visualizations to internal teams and client stakeholders.
• Oversee the production of high-quality, coordinated design documentation in Revit, AutoCAD, and Adobe Creative Suite, ensuring accuracy, constructability, and compliance.
• Serve as the primary interior design point of contact during project delivery, managing client expectations and resolving design-related issues proactively.
• Ensure all designs meet applicable building codes, accessibility standards (e.g., ADA), life safety requirements, and sustainability frameworks (e.g., LEED, WELL, Fitwel).
• Collaborate with cost consultants and procurement teams to align design intent with budget parameters and value-engineering opportunities.
• Review shop drawings, material submittals, and installation mock-ups for design fidelity and quality control.
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior interior designers and coordinators.
• Contribute to PDS design standards, best practices, and knowledge-sharing initiatives.
• Support business development efforts through proposal contributions, interview presentations, and portfolio development.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design, Architecture, or related field; Master’s degree preferred.
• Minimum 7+ years of professional interior design experience, with a strong focus on corporate/commercial interiors and full project lifecycle delivery.
• Demonstrated experience managing multiple concurrent projects in a fast-paced, client-facing environment.
• Advanced proficiency in Revit (BIM workflow), AutoCAD, SketchUp, Enscape/Twinmotion, and Adobe Creative Suite.
• In-depth knowledge of building codes, ADA compliance, sustainable design principles, and global workplace trends.
• Strong leadership, communication, and presentation skills with the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels.
• NCIDQ certification required.
• LEED AP and/or WELL AP accreditation strongly preferred.
• Experience working within an integrated AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) or multidisciplinary consultancy is a plus.
