STV's National Healthcare Practice is in an active growth phase - expanding its geographic reach, deepening its clinical expertise, and building a team capable of delivering complex health and wellbeing environments for academic medical centers, integrated health systems, public-sector clients, and ambulatory networks. We are looking for senior leaders who want to help shape that trajectory, not just fill a seat on a project.
Your Opportunity
As Senior Interior Designer, you will provide design leadership across health and wellbeing projects - from visioning and concept development through documentation, construction administration, and closeout. You will translate client goals, clinical operational needs, and evidence-based design principles into interior environments that support patient experience, staff performance, and long-term facility durability. This role operates at the intersection of design excellence and technical rigor, requires a senior client-facing presence, and contributes directly to STV's pursuit and business development efforts in the health and wellbeing market.
Your Key Responsibilities
- Lead interior design efforts across health and wellbeing projects from pre-design and programming through construction administration and closeout - maintaining design intent, technical continuity, and quality standards throughout.
- Drive concept development and design strategy - translating client mission, brand, patient and caregiver experience goals, clinical workflows, and evidence-based design principles into cohesive interior environments across a range of health and wellbeing project types.
- Lead FF&E strategy, product research, material and furniture selection, finish schedules, and procurement coordination - with a thorough understanding of healthcare-appropriate performance standards, durability, cleanability, and infection prevention requirements.
- Prepare and lead interior finish and FF&E specifications, ensuring technical accuracy, alignment with project requirements, healthcare industry standards, and STV QA/QC expectations.
- Apply working knowledge of applicable codes, guidelines, and clinical environment requirements - including FGI Guidelines, ADA, life safety coordination, infection control design principles, and state DOH standards - as they apply to interior design scope.
- Coordinate interior design decisions with architecture, medical planning, MEP/FP, technology, signage and wayfinding, sustainability, and specialty consultant teams - ensuring integrated delivery across all disciplines.
- Facilitate stakeholder engagement with healthcare executives, clinical leadership, facilities teams, infection prevention representatives, and end users - translating complex operational and experiential input into clear interior design direction.
- Ensure all interior design documentation meets STV QA/QC standards, project-specific client requirements, and healthcare operational expectations - and lead or participate in interdisciplinary reviews, mock-up evaluations, and milestone deliverable reviews.
- Support business development through pursuit strategy, design narrative development, interview preparation, and client presentations - contributing to STV's positioning in the health and wellbeing market.
- Mentor junior designers and emerging health and wellbeing interior design professionals - sharing technical and design knowledge, modeling client-ready professional judgment, and actively contributing to the long-term depth of the practice.
- Contribute to practice growth by identifying follow-on opportunities with current clients, participating in lessons-learned processes, and helping advance the quality and consistency of STV's health and wellbeing interior design offering.
