Showhome Design Lead — Calgary, AB
Company Name: Studio Ridge Residential
Email: info@studioridge.com
Website: http://studioridge.com/
Job Title: Showhome Design Lead/Senior Design Leadership
Location : Calgary, AB
Industry category: Interior Design
Employment Type: Full-time
Work Arrangement: On-Site
Compensation: Competitive base salary plus performance-based bonus, commensurate with relevant experience, demonstrated capability, and the level of responsibility the successful candidate is prepared to assume. Includes group benefits, Health Spending Account program, paid vacation with progressive accrual, and long-term growth opportunities after the probationary period is completed.
About the company: Timeless Design Rooted In Nature & Crafted With Mastery.
We are an Interior Design and Interior Architecture studio creating memorable and meaningful spaces that more closely connect people with nature, resulting in timeless legacy-quality dwellings that last for generations.
Our hallmark is projects that honour wood as a sustainable building material, including heavy timber and mass timber structures. Our portfolio includes private residences, hospitality, mixed-use, and multi-family developments throughout North America. We help our clients to articulate, envision, and construct their properties by offering design expertise inspired by the context of place, culture, and by their functional and aspirational needs.
We offer a full-service, one-stop approach, which includes articulation of concepts, sourcing & selection, construction documentation & specifications, and a wide range of furnishings, art, and accessories, presented as a turnkey package, making the process simple for our clients by providing everything they need to enjoy experiencing life in their new space.
About the role: This is a position which will develop quickly into senior design leadership role with responsibility for shaping and overseeing the showhome portfolio. The successful candidate will be expected to take ownership of the design direction, standards, execution, and ongoing evolution of our showhomes, rather than simply completing individual design assignments.
This is a hands-on design, client relationship and project leadership role. You will personally take showhome projects from initial concept through sourcing, presentation, procurement coordination, installation and final styling, while developing into a primary day-to-day relationship for our builder clients.
This is not a junior position, and it is not a position for someone who wants to design from the sidelines, or only displays design execution.
Key responsibilities: We are looking for someone who combines design ability with drive, organization, sound judgment and strong people skills—someone who takes personal accountability for results and naturally keeps things moving, without making the work about themselves.
You should be an experienced, commercially minded design professional who can combine strong creative capability with practical project leadership and accountability. The ideal candidate will have the confidence and maturity to take ownership of a significant portfolio, influence stakeholders, and deliver consistently high-quality outcomes in a fast-paced environment.
Qualifications and experience: This is a full-time, in-office position located in Calgary, Alberta. Remote candidates will not be considered. Applicants must currently reside within the greater Calgary area. Applicants must hold a valid Canadian Driver's Licence and have access to a personal vehicle. Applicants must be legally entitled to work in Canada. Applicants should have a minimum of 5-7 years of residential interior design experience in Canada or the United States.
