Senior Interior Designer

Are You Passionate About Crafting Spaces That Welcome, Delight, and Inspire?

Then consider joining The Society****!

At The Society, we exist to make people feel something they’ve never felt before. We uncover the pivotal—often magical—truths within our clients’ brands. When brought to life through space, these truths create genuine emotional resonance for their guests.

Our process is wildly curious. We draw from history and locality, identity, and complexity. We pursue the almost impossible, unlocking the sparks that ignite new stories to tell.

This role is an opportunity to support and collaborate with senior designers across all phases of design—from early concept development through construction administration.

We’re looking for a creative, resourceful designer who’s eager to stretch boundaries and grow within a highly collaborative team.
