Join a dynamic, design-led studio known for creating thoughtful, human-centric spaces across workplace, commercial, and hospitality sectors. This is a rare opportunity to lead a talented national design team and shape the creative direction of projects across Australia.

The Role:
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys sitting at the intersection of creative leadership, business development, and client engagement.

We're looking for someone who's commercially sharp, confident in the pitch, and able to excite both clients and internal teams with fresh ideas.

Key Responsibilities:

* Lead design direction across all studios nationally, ensuring creative quality and consistency
* Work closely with clients and internal teams to develop compelling design narratives
* Oversee conceptual development and guide teams through design phases
* Mentor and inspire designers at all levels, championing a culture of creativity and collaboration
* Collaborate with Directors to align design strategy with broader business goals
* Represent the design vision in client presentations and industry events

Key Requirements:

* 10+ years' experience in interior architecture or interior design, with a strong portfolio of commercial projects
* Proven leadership in creative direction and studio mentorship
* Comfortable working at both strategic and conceptual levels
* Confident presenter and storyteller with strong communication skills
* Collaborative, curious, and passionate about design that makes a difference

Benefits:

* National leadership position with real influence
* Projects with high design integrity and variety
* A supportive, forward-thinking studio culture
* Fantastic company culture with frequent social events including across state trips, weekends away
* Flexible working of 1 day from home supported weekly
