SENIOR INTERIOR DESIGNER

Join our New York studio and be a part of a global network of studios spanning four cities (New York, Bangkok, San Francisco, and London). Consistently voted as one of the top three most admired firms in hospitality interior design, you’ll be working on conceptually driven projects which include restaurants, bars, hotels, and multi-family residential. You’ll be working collaboratively with some of the smartest, and design-forward experts in award-winning hospitality-driven spaces and experiences.

You should have exceptional design skills, be a highly-motivated leader, possess a background knowledge of hospitality, and have a portfolio showcasing creative design concepts. As leaders of our creative collaborative, Senior Designers need to recognize all voices on their team during the design process and promote an environment of inclusivity. Successful Senior Designers foster a healthy and engaging design environment that promotes creative and unique ideas from each staff member. AvroKO is not hierarchical in design decisions and encourages all staff to capitalize on their talents and energy. Your primary role is to lead a design team that is inclusive and curious with the technical acumen to deliver the project from start to finish while maintaining AvroKO standards and high caliber of work.

• Engagingly and persuasively present work internally and externally
