PYATOK architecture + urban design is seeking a full-time Interior Architecture Manager with 10-15 years of experience. This is a new role in our office, and may lead to further opportunity within the office as we expand this practice area. Our ideal candidate will serve as a resource for all interiors work across projects in the office, as well as support business development for expanded opportunities with new and existing clients for interior architecture scopes. This is not a remote position.

PYATOK is an award-winning, nationally recognized leader in the design of multi-family affordable, senior, market-rate, student, and special needs housing, as well as mixed-use development, master planning, and community facilities.

Our collaborative style of management and culture includes a pedagogical commitment to mentorship, including weekly in-house professional development sessions and annual stipends for continuing education.
