Senior Interior Designer

SENIOR DESIGNER POSITION

Studio Becky Carter is seeking an experienced Senior Designer who can confidently lead a small design team through complex, full-scope projects from the earliest conceptual conversations through final installation. This is a role for a true design leader; someone who is equally comfortable developing original architectural and interior concepts, managing the countless moving pieces of a project, and shifting seamlessly between creative exploration and technical execution in a team setting.

The ideal candidate is a thoughtful collaborator who enjoys iterating on ideas, contributing original design solutions, and partnering closely with the Principal to elevate the work. Just as importantly, they are exceptionally organized, proactive, and resourceful, with the ability to establish structure, prioritize competing demands, and maintain momentum across multiple projects without sacrificing quality or attention to detail. They understand outstanding design depends as much on communication, planning, and sound judgment as it does on creativity, and they take pride in creating an organized process that allows projects to progress with clarity rather than urgency.

This is an opportunity to serve as the day-to-day leader on sophisticated residential and hospitality projects, building trusted relationships with clients, consultants, contractors, and fabricators while helping shape interiors that are architecturally grounded, thoughtfully detailed, and distinctly original.

Applicants whose experience has primarily been in a supporting or production role are unlikely to be a fit.
