Associate Interior Designer – Workplace

Associate Designer – Workplace Interiors

Boston | Unispace

We are looking for an Associate Designer who can lead, influence, and deliver — someone who doesn’t just design spaces, but drives projects, teams, and client relationships forward.

At Unispace, design is not a standalone function — it’s embedded across the entire project lifecycle. From strategy through to delivery, we partner with some of the world’s most ambitious brands to create workplaces that are intelligent, high-performing, and built for the way people work today.

This is an opportunity to step into a senior, leadership-facing role within a globally recognised design-and-build business — where you will take ownership of projects, mentor teams, and play a key role in shaping both design outcomes and client experience.

The Role

As an Associate Designer, you will operate as a senior figure within the design team, leading workplace and commercial interior projects from concept through to construction delivery.

You’ll balance creative direction, technical delivery, and client engagement, working across a fully integrated model that brings design, strategy, and construction together seamlessly.

This is a role for someone who is confident leading conversations, managing stakeholders, and driving projects forward, while maintaining a high level of design and technical quality.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading projects across all stages — concept, schematic design, design development, and construction documentation
• Acting as a key client interface, building trust and guiding design direction
• Driving design leadership across multiple projects, ensuring quality, consistency, and innovation
• Overseeing technical delivery, including drawing packages, detailing, and Revit-based documentation
• Coordinating with internal teams and external consultants (MEP, AV, lighting, etc.) to ensure seamless execution
• Managing budgets, timelines, and project delivery, ensuring commercial and design success
• Mentoring and developing junior designers, elevating team capability and output
• Supporting business development activity — presentations, proposals, and client engagement

What We’re Looking For

• 10 years’ experience in workplace or commercial interior design
• Proven ability to lead projects end-to-end, from concept through to site delivery
• Strong technical capability, including construction documentation, detailing, and FF&E
• Advanced proficiency in Revit and design tools
• Confident in client-facing environments, presentations, and stakeholder management
• Experience leading teams and mentoring designers
• A balance of creative thinking, technical expertise, and commercial awareness

Why Unispace

Unispace is a global leader in workplace design and delivery, operating across 48 studios worldwide. Our integrated model allows us to move faster, collaborate better, and deliver more meaningful outcomes for our clients.

You’ll be joining a business that values:

• Design with impact — not just intent
• True ownership of projects and outcomes
• Collaboration across disciplines and geographies
• A culture that supports growth, leadership, and progression

The Opportunity

This is a role for someone ready to step beyond execution and into true design leadership — shaping projects, influencing clients, and driving delivery at a high level.

If you’re looking for a position where you can combine creative leadership, client ownership, and full lifecycle delivery within a high-performing global business, this is it.
