Project Manager, Creative Design ​/ Digital Art

Overview

Great work starts with a good conversation and a team that’s excited to build something meaningful together.

Cline is an integrated, nationwide design firm bringing architecture, interior design, planning, landscape architecture, and branding under one roof. We partner with clients to shape places people truly experience—homes, neighborhoods, communities, and workplaces that feel intentional, human, and rooted in purpose.

We’re always looking for curious, collaborative teammates: people who communicate clearly, take pride in craft, and believe the best ideas get better when disciplines work side-by-side. If you’re drawn to thoughtful design, strong relationships, and a culture that supports growth (and celebrates wins along the way), we’d love to connect.

Our Austin, Charlotte, and Raleigh offices are seeking experienced Project Managers to join our busy, growing teams.

We are particularly interested in candidates who feel that they have outgrown their current position and are looking for a higher level of responsibility and independence and are excited about joining a firm where they are encouraged to grow, both as a Project Manager and a leader.
