About this Role
The Interior Design Director is a senior creative authority responsible for the aesthetic vision and design integrity of luxury hospitality projects. This role is designed for a subject matter expert with deep industry experience in high-end hotel design. Rather than focusing on administrative team management, you will lead through design mastery, technical excellence, and strategic creative input.
Scope of Responsibilities
- Provide the primary creative direction for all high-end hotel projects, ensuring the vision aligns with luxury brand standards and guest experience goals.
- Lead the development of sophisticated design concepts, bespoke presentations, and creative strategies tailored specifically to the hospitality sector.
- Partner with internal teams, specialized consultants (lighting, MEP, etc.), and hotel owners/operators to maintain project excellence.
- Ensure all design output reinforces the firm’s reputation for luxury and supports the broader marketing and brand initiatives.
- Act as a creative mentor for the design team, sharing technical knowledge of hotel specifications, luxury finishes, and operational flow.
- Lead design-focused client interactions, resolving complex creative challenges and coordinating progress with owners and operators.
- Represent the firm’s hospitality portfolio and expertise to visitors, potential partners, and industry bodies.
- Provide specialized creative input and strategic insights to support the acquisition of new high-end hotel and hospitality contracts.
- Assist in luxury-tier client introductions, serving as the technical and creative face of the firm's hotel design capabilities.
- Collaborate with the Business Development and Design teams to ensure deliverables meet hospitality-specific fee structures and timelines.
- Balance high-concept creative integrity with the operational efficiency and client satisfaction required in high-end hotel development.
Requirements
- Extensive experience leading the interior design of high-end, luxury hotel projects from concept to completion.
- 10+ years of professional interior design experience, demonstrating a steady progression of seniority and specialized hospitality knowledge.
- Professional degree in Interior Design or Architecture.
- Deep understanding of hotel-specific requirements, including international hospitality standards, luxury FF&E sourcing, and operational functionality.
- Exceptional presentation skills and the ability to influence project outcomes through seniority and design authority.
