Why this role exists

At Revive, we believe renovation is not just a project — it is a path to real wealth for homeowners. Design sits at the center of that transformation. The Interior Designer role exists to translate strategy into spaces that elevate both customer experience and property value. This position is critical to ensuring every renovation balances aesthetics, functionality, budget discipline, and resale impact.

As Revive scales, we need designers who can operate with ownership and judgment — professionals who can bring clarity to complex projects, collaborate cross-functionally, and ensure the final product reflects both design excellence and execution discipline. This is a role for someone who cares deeply about craft, precision, and impact.

What you will do
  • Collaborate with Sales, Project Management, and Production teams to deliver interior design solutions aligned with approved scope, budget, timeline, and desired aesthetic
  • Translate homeowner preferences, lifestyle needs, and market considerations into cohesive design concepts that enhance livability, resale value, and overall customer experience
  • Develop and present interior design deliverables, including floor plans, layouts, renderings, finish packages, and client-facing design presentations consistent with Revive standards
  • Prepare, manage, and maintain complete design documentation sets, including material and finish schedules, specifications, approvals, revisions, and as-built documentation when required
  • Source, specify, and evaluate materials, finishes, fixtures, appliances, and furnishings appropriate to project scope, budget, and availability
  • Coordinate with contractors and vendors to confirm material availability, lead times, substitutions, and installation requirements
  • Ensure contractors receive clear, accurate “like-for-like” documentation so finished work matches approved designs and specifications
  • Identify and resolve design-related issues during construction, including delays, substitutions, or field constraints, while minimizing impact to schedule, budget, and customer experience
  • Communicate effectively with homeowners, real estate agents, contractors, and internal teams to provide updates, clarify selections, and proactively address questions or concerns
  • Manage multiple projects concurrently, exercise professional judgment in prioritization, and maintain accurate records of all design decisions and approvals in Company systems
Who you are
  • A designer who takes ownership of outcomes, not just deliverables
  • Comfortable exercising judgment in balancing aesthetics, cost, timeline, and practicality
  • Clear and confident communicator with homeowners, contractors, and cross-functional teams
  • Organized, detail-oriented, and disciplined in documentation and follow-through
  • Adaptable in fast-paced environments with multiple active projects
  • Proactive in identifying risks and solving problems before they escalate
  • Motivated by delivering high-quality work that drives real impact
Qualifications
  • 3+ years of professional experience in residential interior design
  • Demonstrated experience delivering full design documentation sets for renovation or residential projects
  • Strong working knowledge of construction sequencing, materials, and finish applications
  • Proficiency in SketchUp and AutoCAD (required)
  • Ability to read and interpret architectural drawings and scopes of work
  • Experience collaborating with designers, architects, contractors, and vendors
  • Strong time-management and project-prioritization skills
  • Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design or Architecture (preferred, not required)
