Job Overview
Ovadia Design Group – Senior Interior Designer – New York, NY, US. Posted on Wed, Jan 14 '26. Salary $90,000 - $120,000 annually. We are seeking a Senior Interior Designer who possesses a rare duality: the artistic soul of a visionary creative and the disciplined mind of a rigorous project manager.
At Ovadia Design Group, we do not view these as separate disciplines but as the intertwined DNA of a successful leader. In this pivotal role, you will bridge the gap between high‑level design direction and precise operational execution. You will translate “The Art of Living” into tangible environments, leading diverse residential projects—from the quiet luxury of private estates in Deal and Long Island to the refined complexity of Brooklyn brownstones.
Crucially, this is a growth‑oriented role. You will not only execute projects but also actively contribute to the firm’s expansion by leveraging your network to identify, cultivate, and bring in new residential commissions. You will be technically proficient, operationally disciplined, and capable of managing complex workflows using our specific technology stack (AutoCAD, Miro, ClickUp, Studio Designer).
Key Responsibilities
Design & Technical Leadership
Concept Development: Lead the creative narrative, ensuring every home tells a cohesive story. Facilitate design charrettes and build immersive mood boards that translate abstract client aspirations into concrete visual realities.
Architectural Documentation: Produce “shop‑drawing quality” construction documents in AutoCAD, detailing complex joinery, stone transitions, and integrated lighting. Drawings must be fully constructible, code‑compliant, and coordinated with MEP and structural engineers.
Construction Administration: Act as the primary site lead and guardian of design intent. Attend weekly site meetings, review framing, rough‑ins, and finishes, and proactively troubleshoot field conditions with contractors.
Project Management & Operations
Workflow Management: Build and maintain detailed budgets, schedules, and critical paths. Assign and monitor tasks for junior team members.
Procurement & Financials: Manage the entire procurement lifecycle, review proposals and purchase orders, and maintain strict budget controls.
Efficiency Tracking: Maintain an 80% billable efficiency target, tracked daily, and use analytics to identify workflow bottlenecks.
Leadership & Business Development
New Business Generation: Use your professional network to secure new high‑end residential projects and represent Ovadia Design Group at industry events.
Mentorship: Supervise and mentor junior and intermediate designers, providing guidance and fostering professional growth.
Client Stewardship: Serve as the face of the project for clients, managing day‑to‑day communications with professionalism, empathy, and transparency.
Qualifications
Experience: 7+ years of post‑graduate experience in high‑end residential design (NYC experience preferred).
Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Interior Design or Architecture.
Business Development: Proven track record of maintaining client relationships and bringing in new projects.
Core Competencies: Deep knowledge of interior architecture and custom millwork; ability to work with minimal supervision; strong presentation skills.
Technical Proficiency
AutoCAD: Expert level (Non‑negotiable).
Studio Designer: Proficiency in procurement and project management modules.
ClickUp or other project management software: Experience with agile task management and Gantt scheduling.
Miro or other whiteboard software: Ability to create digital presentation boards and workflows.
Clockify or other time tracking software: Experience with time‑tracking and efficiency reporting.
Compensation & Benefits
Salary: $90,000 – $120,000 (commensurate with experience)
Commission: Competitive commission structure for new business brought into the firm.
Benefits: Comprehensive health benefits, paid time off (PTO), and professional development support.
