This role sits at the center of that effort. You’ll act as the design architect, translating evolving requirements into scalable spatial standards, layouts, and templates — and then report results to team leads for approval, followed by pressure-testing those standards through active projects. This is not a traditional project management role. You won’t just track projects—you will shape how they are designed, built, and continuously improved. You’ll work directly with operations, product teams, SMEs, and architects to ensure standards support real workflows, not just ideal conditions. Expect ambiguity. Expect iteration.
