Submissions will only be considered when applied through the form linked above.
Progress Studio is an Indianapolis architecture and interior design firm working on dental, healthcare, hospitality, workplace, franchise, and ground-up commercial projects across Indianapolis, Atlanta, and other regional markets. We're seeking a leader who can run that work end to end — from the first client meeting through construction administration.
This is a leadership role where you'll own the schedule, the drawing set, and the client relationship on every project you touch. Progress Studio is small enough that the person running the project is also the person drawing it and sitting in the OAC meeting — so if you want the whole arc of a project, from a programming conversation to a finished building, this is the role.
What you'll do
Lead architecture and interior design projects from programming through construction administration
Develop and maintain project schedules, fee tracking, and scope across multiple concurrent projects
Coordinate structural, MEP, civil, and other consultants to keep design and documentation aligned
Review and produce construction documents, checking for code compliance, accuracy, and buildability
Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, contractors, and permitting officials
Manage permitting submissions and plan review responses
Conduct site visits and construction administration — RFIs, submittal review, field observation
Mentor junior staff and support quality control across deliverables
What we're looking for
8+ years in architecture or project management within commercial design and construction (tenant build-out, ground-up, dental, healthcare, and/or hospitality preferred)
Licensed architect in Indiana or actively pursuing licensure (Project Architect track), with a strong construction, owner's-rep PM, or senior interior design background
Working knowledge of building codes, zoning, and permitting in Indiana, Georgia, and beyond; multi-jurisdictional experience is a plus
High proficiency in Revit and experience managing full construction document sets
Demonstrated ability to manage project budgets, schedules, and consultant teams
Strong written and verbal communication, with direct client-facing experience
Preferred
Dental, medical, veterinary, or franchise build-out experience; interior-architecture-heavy backgrounds a plus
Familiarity with multi-family and mixed-use work; hospitality experience is beneficial
Experience with client / project management tools
NCARB certification, or actively on a path toward licensure
Pay: From $85,000.00 per year
Benefits:
401(k) matching
Dental insurance
Flexible schedule
Health insurance
Life insurance
Paid time off
Professional development assistance
Retirement plan
Vision insurance
