At LPA you’ll be part of the team that is changing the way the industry thinks about design and carbon emissions, built around the belief that we only achieve our goals when everybody has a seat at the table and all input is valued.

We’re currently seeking an Interior Design Project Manager to join our dynamic Workplace team. You’ll be part of a culture that values deep collaboration, technical excellence, and continual growth. Our Workplace studio is committed to creating engaging environments that foster communication and collaboration. We have completed projects such as Edwards Lifescience Campus Expansion, Southland Industries and Technology Company HQ Wellness Center.

At LPA, your growth and contributions matter. We foster a collaborative culture where creative ideas are valued, and voices are heard.

Mentorship from Managing Directors, Design Directors, and senior team members across disciplines.
Career development support, including professional development grants and in-house training.
Ongoing education through LPA+U courses and Tech Talks focused on innovative, sustainable practices.
8 paid hours of volunteer time each year.
Opportunities to propose and lead projects that impact your local community, including more than $1 million since 2015 in Habitat for Humanity builds, scholarships, and other pro bono community projects.
Access to our Professional Development Grants program, created to encourage professional development and further LPA's collective knowledge as a firm. Over the life of the grant program, we have invested $1,196,890 and impacted 848 LPA employees.
A hybrid schedule where Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday will be spent in our Austin studio, with the ability to work remotely on Mondays and Fridays.

What We’re Looking For:

Required:

Bachelor’s and/or Master’s degree in Interior Architecture, Interior Design, or Architecture.
10+ years of professional experience across all phases of interior architecture projects.
Certified Interior Designer (CID) in the state of California.
Proficiency in Microsoft Project and Microsoft Excel.
Strong understanding of project business management, including scope, fees, schedules, work plans, and budgets.

Preferred:

Working knowledge of Revit and Bluebeam.

LPA is an integrated design firm with offices in California and Texas, focused on creating forward-thinking, sustainable spaces that make a positive impact. We believe great design begins with great people, which is why we foster a supportive, collaborative environment where creativity, curiosity, and professional growth are encouraged. Our culture values diversity, promotes wellness, and supports a healthy work-life balance. At LPA, we offer competitive salaries and a robust benefits package—including health and dental insurance, retirement and financial planning, wellness initiatives, and flexible work/life programs.

This position is eligible for an annual bonus. If you are hired at LPA, your base salary is based on factors such as geographic location, skills, education, experience and/or project complexity.
