Full Job Description
This role is for a designer who is ready to own a project. You'll lead interior design from early concept through construction administration, making real decisions, solving real problems, and shaping environments that people will remember long after they've left. You'll work alongside talented, multidisciplinary teams on projects that demand both creative ambition and technical rigor, and you'll have the support to grow into the leader you're becoming.

If you've contributed to themed entertainment, attraction design, or immersive environments and you're ready for a role where your design voice truly matters, we'd love to meet you. Direct experience in themed entertainment, attraction design, or immersive environments is required.

Certification/licensure (NCIDQ or equivalent) is preferred but not required.

What you will do:

  • Lead interior design across all project phases - from concept development through construction administration - on small to medium-scale projects
  • Develop and present interior design concepts, storytelling narratives, and compelling design presentations throughout the project
  • Produce and oversee a complete, high-quality set of interior construction documents that meet contract requirements and code standards
  • Manage the selection and specification of finishes, lighting, and furniture, coordinating closely with the specifications team
  • Oversee interiors coordination with architecture, engineering consultants, and multidisciplinary teams to ensure conceptual and technical alignment
  • Lead and manage client relationships, providing clear and timely communication between the client team and internal project team
  • Motivate and support team members through thoughtful task assignment that fosters professional growth
  • Identify and communicate project risks to the Project Manager and Project Executive
  • Participate in construction administration processes, on-site observations, and design verifications
  • Contribute to project pursuits, proposals, and client interviews
  • Apply regenerative and sustainable approaches to design and the performance of built, social, and natural environments
  • Proficiency in Revit/BIM 360, Bluebeam, Adobe Creative Suite, and Microsoft Office; awareness and engagement with Rhino, Enscape, and Lumion


What we look for:

  • 4-8 years of professional experience in interior design
  • Direct experience in themed entertainment, attraction design, or immersive environments is required; experience across other markets is welcomed
  • Demonstrated ability to lead small to medium-scale project scopes and collaborate on complex, multidisciplinary teams
  • Strong design, technical, and documentation skills with a high standard for quality and completeness
  • Effective communication and client relationship management skills, with the ability to translate ideas into clear, actionable direction
  • Experience leading interior design concept development and presenting to client groups
  • Familiarity with building codes as applied to interior projects and the permitting process
  • Certification/licensure (e.g., NCIDQ) preferred but not required
