Design Manager

Alloy Homes Incorporated

The Opportunity

Are you a visionary architectural designer who thrives on pushing creative boundaries? Do you possess the polished communication and organizational skills required to guide high-net-worth clients through the creation of their dream homes?

Alloy Homes is seeking an experienced Design Manager to serve as the creative heartbeat and primary client ambassador for our upcoming portfolio of luxury projects. In this pivotal leadership role, you will enjoy immense creative freedom to shape the future direction of our firm while guiding complex projects from initial concept through to flawless execution.

About Us: The Alloy Advantage

We are a Calgary-based, nationally recognized purveyor of design-forward, high-end custom homes. For nearly 30 years, we’ve been refining our craft across Alberta.

What sets us apart is our fully integrated Design/Build process. We bring Real Estate, Design, Interiors, Construction, Procurement, and Post-Occupancy Care together seamlessly under one roof. For a designer, this means your original creative vision is fiercely protected and beautifully embodied in every completed home—removing the friction between the studio and the site.

The Role

1. Client Stewardship & Leadership

  • Act as the primary point of contact and trusted architectural guide for high-net-worth clients, providing a white-glove, concierge-level experience.
  • Develop and manage deep, trusting client relationships, translating their lifestyle needs into bold, innovative design solutions.
  • Serve as an eloquent and passionate ambassador for the Alloy Homes brand in all dealings with clients, colleagues, trades, media, and the public.

2. Design Vision & Studio Management

  • Lead the design phase of our projects from conceptualization to completion, ensuring the architectural vision is upheld through detailing, engineering, and construction.
  • Balance your managerial duties with hands-on creative work—producing conceptual designs, renderings, and detail drawings as required.
  • Resolve complex design and technical issues by considering every element within its broader architectural and environmental context.

3. Project Execution & Collaboration

  • Oversee the production of all architectural and interior design documentation.
  • Deliver projects efficiently through inspirational leadership and seamless collaboration with our internal construction teams, outside consultants, trades, and suppliers.
  • Manage Development and Building Permit submissions and municipal reviews.

About You

You are a rare breed: a highly creative architect/designer who is equally gifted at project management and client relations.

  • You are a proven innovator; you constantly challenge convention and seek better solutions.
  • You have extreme polish; your written and verbal communication skills are impeccable, allowing you to manage expectations, negotiate gently, and inspire confidence in demanding clientele.
  • You are highly organized; you are self-motivated, hyper-attentive to detail, and thrive under the pressure of a deadline.
  • You are a collaborator; you leave your ego at the door and work seamlessly with construction managers to turn theoretical designs into buildable realities.

Qualifications

  • A professional Degree in Architecture or a demonstrated equivalent architectural design background.
  • Extensive experience as a Lead Designer or Project Architect, with a robust portfolio of high-end, custom residential projects.
  • Exceptional proficiency in generating conceptual design models, renderings, technical details, specifications, and presentation packages.
  • Demonstrated software mastery in Sketchup and Revit .
  • A thorough, practical understanding of Part 9 of the Alberta Building Code and municipal land-use bylaws.
  • Bonus: Previous Design/Build experience is highly valued.

What We Offer

  • Creative Autonomy: The chance to put your stamp on some of Alberta's most compelling luxury homes.
  • Work/Life Balance: We actively encourage a healthy lifestyle. Our hybrid work model means you’ll spend dynamic time in the studio and on-site, with the flexibility to work remotely when it suits your workflow.
  • Competitive Compensation: An attractive compensation package and growth potential commensurate with your elite skill set.

How to Apply

If you are ready for the satisfaction that comes with leveraging your creative vision and business acumen to deliver our clients’ beautifully executed dream homes, we want to meet you.

Please submit your resume, a cover letter detailing your approach to high-end client management, and a curated portfolio showcasing your most relevant residential work to ***email_hidden***.
