Job Description

About the Role

This is an opportunity to join one of the country’s largest privately-held mixed-use developers in a senior design leadership role with broad scope and real creative authority. The Studio is WS Development’s in-house team of architects and designers—responsible for shaping the design ethos, built environment, and tenant and customer experience across a portfolio of over 100 properties nationwide.

We’re looking for a Director who brings a strong design instinct—someone with genuine taste, an eye for detail, and the authority to raise the bar on design quality across a complex, high-velocity portfolio. The ideal candidate has deep experience in retail, hospitality, or mixed-use environments, and brings both the design vision to set standards and the technical fluency to see them through execution. This person will shape design across the portfolio, own key cross-functional relationships, and play a meaningful role in Studio operations.
