About the role
North Oak Design is looking for a project manager to join the New York studio. You will be the person who makes sure nothing gets lost between the design and the finished room — managing timelines, supplier relationships, budgets, and contractor coordination across multiple simultaneous projects.
This role sits at the centre of everything we do. The designers produce the vision. The project manager makes it real. If that distinction excites you rather than frustrates you, read on.
Job Description
What you will work on
Managing project delivery across residential and commercial projects from the New York studio
Contractor and supplier coordination — scheduling, procurement, delivery management
Budget tracking and client reporting
Site visits during installation phases
Supporting the founders on new project onboarding
What we are looking for
4–8 years of experience in project management within interior design, architecture, or construction
Someone who is instinctively organised and uncomfortable when things are unclear
Experience with project management tools — we use Monday.com and are not precious about switching
Exceptional written and verbal communication — you will be client-facing from day one
The ability to hold a room when things go wrong on site, which they sometimes do
What we are not looking for
Someone who manages by spreadsheet and never visits the site
Someone who treats suppliers like they are a problem to be managed rather than a relationship to be maintained
Someone who cannot make a decision without approval
What we offer
Salary $85,000 – $105,000 depending on experience
Health, dental, and vision insurance
$2,000 annual learning and development budget
20 days PTO plus studio closure between Christmas and New Year
Work from our SoHo studio at 142 Wooster Street
