  • Market Insight: Stay ahead of product innovations, workplace ergonomics, manufacturer resources, and sustainability considerations, sharing insights across the team.

Qualifications:

  • Education: Preferred Bachelor's degree from a FIDER or CIDA-accredited design program or equivalent relevant experience.
  • Experience: 5+ years of progressive industry experience, including responsibility for complex commercial interiors, furniture dealership projects, workplace design solutions, or GSA/government contract projects.
