Job description
Intermediate Interior Designer
Ovadia Interior Design and Architecture is a nationally recognized interior design and architecture studio in Manhattan, where modern elegance, warmth, and a sense of play come together in everything we create. We craft fully customized interiors for high-end homes, luxury apartments, and ambitious development and commercial projects, and we genuinely enjoy both the work and each other. We are looking for an Intermediate Interior Designer who is ready to take the lead on their own projects. This is the role for a designer who has a few years under their belt, knows how to carry a project through every phase, and is excited to own that work day to day. You will run your projects with confidence while a senior designer sets the overall creative direction and is there for the big calls, so you get real responsibility with strong support behind you. If you love seeing a project through from concept to install and taking pride in the details along the way, you will feel right at home here.
What you will be doing:
Owning your assigned projects day to day, carrying them through each phase from concept to final install under the creative direction of a senior designer
Developing complete design presentations on your own, including concept boards, FF&E selections, and materials palettes
Producing accurate, well-coordinated AutoCAD drawings, including floor plans, elevations, and reflected ceiling plans
Designing and detailing interior architecture and custom millwork for your projects, including built-ins, paneling, kitchens, vanities, stair details, and integrated lighting, and coordinating those details with architects, engineers, and fabricators
Leading site surveys, documenting existing conditions, and coordinating installations from start to finish
Specifying and sourcing furniture, finishes, and fixtures, and managing vendor relationships, pricing, and lead times for your projects
Coordinating directly with vendors, contractors, and consultants to keep your projects on schedule and on budget
Managing project timelines and budgets at the project level, with senior designers and project managers there for guidance and sign-off
Being a steady resource for our junior designers, sharing what you know and helping review their work
Handling day-to-day client communication for your projects with professionalism and warmth
Requirements:
A bachelor's degree in Interior Design or a related field
3 to 5 years of interior design experience, ideally with high-end residential or commercial projects
The ability to run projects independently and keep several moving at once without losing the details
Strong skills in Studio Designer, AutoCAD, Adobe Creative Suite, and Google Workspace
Comfort with SketchUp and 3D rendering tools (a real plus)
A keen eye for detail, scale, and proportion
Excellent communication, organization, and time management
A positive, can-do attitude and the kind of curiosity that keeps you growing
Comfort using AI tools to speed up research, sourcing, and documentation, while keeping your design eye firmly in the lead
A portfolio that shows off your work (please upload it with your cover letter)
Benefits:
A competitive salary in the $80,000 to $100,000 range, commensurate with experience
Health insurance
Paid vacation, holidays, and sick leave
Hands-on ownership of elite residential and commercial projects across NYC and beyond
Mentorship from senior designers and a clear path to grow toward a senior role
A collaborative, design-driven culture you will actually look forward to
