Work Location & Schedule

This is a hybrid position offering flexibility to work remotely for design, research, sourcing, documentation, and administrative responsibilities.

On-site availability is essential throughout the project, particularly for receiving and organizing materials, coordinating with contractors and subcontractors, conducting field measurements, and overseeing installations.

The balance of remote and on-site work will vary depending on construction schedules, deliveries, and project needs. During certain phases, significant on-site availability may be required.

The ideal candidate is based in the Bozeman/Belgrade area and can independently manage their schedule while remaining responsive to the needs of an active construction project.

Who We're Looking For

The ideal candidate has a refined design sensibility and takes genuine satisfaction in seeing thoughtful ideas become beautifully executed realities.

You are equally comfortable researching an unusual material, modeling a custom piece of furniture, reviewing construction drawings, negotiating with a vendor, or visiting a job site to resolve a detail.

You are proactive, detail-oriented, solutions-driven, and comfortable working directly with an owner who is deeply involved in the creative direction of the project.

You understand that exceptional design is found in the details, and you have the organizational skills to bring those details together.

This position is best suited for someone who enjoys variety, welcomes responsibility, and thrives in a creative, fast-moving environment.

Position Details

This is a 10-month fixed-term position supporting the final phases of construction, interior installation, brand preparation, and property launch.

The position offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience across interior design, custom fabrication, construction coordination, procurement, and luxury hospitality development.

While the initial commitment is for 10 months, there may be opportunities for an extended role depending on project needs and mutual interest.

How to Apply

Please submit:

• A resume and brief introduction.
• A portfolio or examples of relevant design work, including 3D models or technical drawings, if available.
• A short description of your experience with procurement, construction coordination, or project management.

We are particularly interested in applicants who demonstrate both creative ability and the organizational skills required to independently manage complex projects.
