About Heritage Tile

Heritage Tile seeks a Lead Interior Designer to join our team in Verona, WI.

Join a team of dedicated and enthusiastic professionals making a difference by creating beautiful spaces and restoring historical places all around the world. We are redefining how tile is designed, produced, promoted, and distributed. This is a chance to thrive at a company that will appreciate your creativity, collaboration, values, and commitment to our shared vision. We value what makes you unique and the skills and experience you bring with you.

About the Role

We're looking for a Lead Interior Designer to take ownership of our design function, a team of 5 spanning design production and 3D visualization work. This is a leadership role first: your main job is bringing structure, consistency, and repeatable process to how the team operates. You'll also stay hands-on, reviewing and, when it counts, personally stepping into our most complex and highest-stakes projects. We don't currently have dedicated project managers, so you'll effectively be the organizing backbone for design work, planning, sequencing, and tracking projects end to end.

This is a high-ownership opportunity: you'll have latitude to define how the team runs day to day. As that structure takes hold, there's room for the role, and the title, to grow with it.

What You'll Do

Review and personally step in on our most complex, highest-visibility projects, serving as the direct client contact and setting the standard the rest of the team works to
Lead and mentor a team of 5 across design production and 3D visualization
Build and document repeatable workflows for design handoffs, project tracking, and quality review
Set priorities and timelines across concurrent projects, and hold the team accountable to them
Partner with production and operations to make sure design specs translate cleanly into manufacturing
Spot and fix workflow bottlenecks, creating structure where things are currently ad hoc
Coach and develop the team's skills through regular feedback

What You Bring

2-3+ years leading a design or creative production team, with real ownership over how that team's processes and workflows were built or improved, not just following them
Comfortable working directly with clients on high-visibility projects
Hands-on comfort with SketchUp and/or Adobe Illustrator, enough to review and guide your team's work and step in yourself when needed
Strong organizational instincts and the ability to bring order to a team that's ready for more structure
Experience in custom or made-to-order production environments (tile, millwork, mosaic, or similar) is a plus
