What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a workplace designer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Workplace Designer, you need expertise in interior design principles, space planning, and a relevant degree (such as in interior design or architecture). Proficiency in design software like AutoCAD, Revit, and SketchUp, as well as knowledge of building codes and sustainability standards, is typically required. Strong communication, creativity, and problem-solving skills help you collaborate effectively with clients and multidisciplinary teams. These skills are crucial for creating functional, attractive, and productive work environments that meet organizational needs.

What is a workplace designer?

Workplace designers are professionals who plan, design, and create functional, attractive, and efficient office and work environments. They combine knowledge of architecture, interior design, ergonomics, and organizational needs to optimize spaces for productivity, collaboration, and employee well-being. Their role often involves consulting with clients to understand company culture and workflow, then developing layouts, selecting furnishings, and ensuring the space meets safety and accessibility standards.

How does a workplace designer typically collaborate with other departments during an office redesign project?

Workplace Designers often work closely with a variety of departments, including HR, IT, and facilities management, to ensure that the new office layout supports both productivity and employee well-being. They coordinate with HR to understand organizational needs and workforce demographics, consult with IT to integrate technology seamlessly, and partner with facilities teams to address logistical constraints. Regular meetings and feedback sessions help align the design with company goals and ensure the space meets all stakeholders' requirements. This collaborative process is essential for creating functional, inspiring work environments that reflect company culture.

Job description

About the Role

The Workplace Development team is responsible for delivering workplace projects across Verkada's international office portfolio. As a Designer for the International Workplace Development team, you'll partner closely with Project Managers and the International Director of Real Estate Development & Workplace to help translate design intent into functional, buildable, on-brand workspaces.

In this role, you'll support the design and execution of international office build-outs, renovations, and workplace improvements by assisting with construction documentation, coordinating with vendors and cross-functional teams, and helping maintain design standards across regions. This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career designer looking to gain hands-on experience delivering global workplace projects while growing toward more senior design and project leadership responsibilities.

This role reports to the International Director of Real Estate Development & Workplace.

What You'll Do
  • Support the design and documentation of international office build-outs, expansions, and workplace improvements under the direction of Project Managers and the Director of Development & Workplace, International.
  • Assist with page turns alongside the design team to support the development and review of construction documents.
  • Read and interpret floor plans, furniture plans, and construction documents to help maintain design intent throughout the construction process.
  • Coordinate with procurement and external partners to source finishes, furniture, and materials that meet regional requirements and Verkada brand standards.
  • Support value engineering efforts by researching cost-effective material and system alternatives.
  • Help maintain and refine project templates, design standards, and workplace design workflows across international regions.
  • Partner with internal teams-including AV, IT, Security, and Facilities/Operations-to gather technical requirements and ensure workplace designs accommodate operational needs.
  • Organize and maintain project documentation, drawings, and specifications across multiple concurrent international projects.
  • Prepare design presentations, project updates, and supporting materials for internal stakeholders and leadership.
  • Coordinate with regional stakeholders, consultants, and vendors to understand site-specific requirements and project constraints.
  • Support Project Managers in tracking design deliverables against project schedules and budgets.
  • Travel internationally as needed to support key project milestones.
What You Bring
  • 5+ years of experience in architecture, interior design, or commercial/workplace real estate development, ideally supporting corporate or technology office environments.
  • Bachelor's degree in Architecture, Interior Design, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Working knowledge of design and drafting software such as AutoCAD, Revit, or SketchUp; familiarity with project management or facilities software is a plus.
  • Basic understanding of construction documents, millwork standards, furniture specifications, and workplace design processes.
  • Ability to read and interpret floor plans, construction drawings, and technical documentation.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across international stakeholders and time zones.
  • Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage documentation across multiple projects simultaneously.
  • Collaborative mindset with a desire to learn from experienced designers and project leaders.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with evolving priorities.
  • Cultural awareness and adaptability when partnering with international teams and vendors.
  • Valid passport and willingness to travel internationally as needed.
  • Flexibility to collaborate across multiple global time zones.
Additional Information
  • You must be independently authorized to work in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa for this role, at this time
