- Design review and portfolio improvements: Review test fits, design presentations, drawings, material selections, and project documentation to identify inconsistencies and provide design feedback, including what needs to change and why; partner with regional teams to audit and update existing offices, identify and understand user feedback and trends, and track recurring design issues to inform future recommendations and small-scale pilots
- Strategic design programs: Coordinate design work streams for bulk-deal and strategic vendor partnerships, and support wellness, sustainability, and inclusive design goals by establishing practical ways to track progress and research compliant products
- Innovation and practical AI: Explore, test, and document practical applications of AI for design research, documentation, portfolio analysis, and knowledge sharing, and translate pilot results into actionable guidance or self-service tools
- Cross-functional collaboration: Partner effectively with internal stakeholders, consultants, vendors, and cross-functional teams, including those working on audiovisual (AV)-integrated spaces, to deliver consistent design execution across portfolio touch points
- This role requires domestic and international travel
