Project Manager - Architecture Master Planning

YOUR TEAM

The team designs the strategic visions, development programming, and experiential master plans that define the future of major real estate, tourism, and urban developments globally. We operate upstream, at the intersection of architecture, urban planning, and experiential storytelling to create experience-led public spaces.

Our team stands out for its collaborative and resolutely multidisciplinary culture. Far from traditional silos, we rely on collective intelligence to advance concepts seamlessly.

Knowing that experiential differentiation has emerged as the defining factor in how districts are perceived and valued, we collaborate with world-class partners to design spaces that act as a living experience system rather than just physical locations.

Our unit focuses exclusively on the consulting, visioning, and macro-planning phase (the "blueprint"). We do not produce or deliver any pure multimedia content or final physical experience integration at this stage.

YOUR MISSION

As a strategic and operational leader from the world of architecture, urban planning, or landscape architecture, you possess a unique hybrid profile. You are both a seasoned project manager with absolute rigor and a hands-on collaborator capable of contributing intelligently to the creation of a complex public space.

Your role is to lead intricate, high-value strategic consulting mandates from A to Z. You bridge the client's business ambitions with spatial and narrative concepts, treating the environment as a human experience platform that prioritizes comfort, accessibility, and engagement.

You will rigorously orchestrate the triple constraints (budgets, schedules, resources) while ensuring the delivery of a coherent experiential journey across all nodes.

key responsibilities

1. Rigorous Project Management & Operations

• Lifecycle Management: Lead mandates through the various consulting phases (from initial mapping to the final 100% pre-concept presentation).
• Delivery Strategy: Establish mandate delivery strategies, design detailed schedules, and master the critical path to ensure the continuity of the experience.
• Casting & Resources: Assemble, align, and coordinate multidisciplinary teams of internal experts (including acoustic, sensory, and lighting consultants) needed for each mandate.

2. Active Collaboration in Master Planning

• Hands-on Contribution: Actively participate in structuring the master planning logic, ensuring the space succeeds as both a journey and a series of destinations.
• Spatial & Technical Framing: Translate creative visions into tangible spatial intentions, advocating for multi-sensory, environmental, and human-centric design.
• Strategic Interfacing: Act as the primary link for external architects and urban planners to integrate flexible infrastructure (power, AV, smart systems) early in the macro plans.

3. Client Partnership, Commercial & Financial Alignment

• Executive Client Liaison: Manage day-to-day business relationships and facilitate co-creation workshops internationally.
• Financial Ownership: Assume full financial responsibility for projects, actively supporting the client in creating a robust revenue-generation stream and monetization strategy from the experiential spaces.
