Director of Design & Development

As Director of Design & Development, your mission is to lead the execution of world-class amenity spaces within commercial office buildings across the country. You will guide the design strategy from concept to completion — translating vision into tangible environments that blend hospitality, wellness, and workplace innovation. You’ll serve as the creative and technical bridge between our internal teams, external consultants, and property stakeholders. Lead the design development process from concept through construction for new and renovated amenity spaces. Own the full design cycle — including discovery, programming recommendations, spatial layouts, FF&E sourcing, and vendor coordination. Translate strategic narratives into compelling visual presentations for client and internal alignment. Serve as the primary design point of contact for client stakeholders (landlords, architects, project managers). Facilitate presentations, incorporate feedback, and align creative work with business goals. Partner with strategy, operations, and construction teams to ensure operational feasibility and functionality. Create and manage space type packages, design decks, and specification documents. Ensure designs meet clients' developed brand standards across projects. Help evolve and maintain Lulafit's internal design standards and spatial brand guidelines. Collaborate with external architects, contractors, and consultants to deliver projects on time and on budget. Review shop drawings, vendor quotes, and oversee quality control of external vendors. Source and update FF&E standards across meeting and fitness spaces to reflect trends in wellness and office design
