At Storyland, we design architecture that tells our clients’ stories. Our work blends strong architectural fundamentals with narrative thinking to create spaces that are purposeful, engaging, and meaningful.

As an Architectural Project Manager, you’ll play a critical role in shaping and delivering that work. You’ll partner closely with the architectural team to lead projects from early design through documentation and construction support — ensuring design intent, technical execution, and project outcomes stay aligned from start to finish.

This role is intended for a highly experienced architectural professional who brings strong judgment, deep technical knowledge, and confidence managing complex projects, and clients.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the delivery of multiple architectural projects simultaneously, bringing structure and momentum from early design through documentation and construction support

• Take ownership of overall project health — scope, schedule, and budget — keeping a steady pulse on progress, risks, and resourcing

• Serve as a primary point of contact for clients on assigned projects, guiding conversations with clarity and confidence

• Prepare and manage project plans, including scope definition, fee estimates, schedules, and delivery strategies

• Coordinate closely with structural, MEP, and civil consultants, ensuring strong integration across disciplines

• Oversee and review architectural drawings and technical documentation with an experienced eye for quality, constructability, and design intent

• Contribute to the development and review of custom architectural details that support unique design solutions

• Support construction phase efforts, including RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, field questions, and punch lists

• Partner with the Team Lead and architectural team to keep communication clear, decisions documented, and work moving forward

• Craft clear written communications with IQ and EQ as equal parts— emails, letters, and documentation — that keep teams and clients aligned on progress and direction

The Right Person for This Role

You bring meaningful experience working on architectural projects beyond the concept phase and are comfortable supporting and helping lead work through documentation and construction support. You understand how architecture is delivered and what it takes to keep projects coordinated and on track.

You’re organized, collaborative, and thoughtful in how you work. You communicate clearly with EQ, manage details well, and exercise good judgment around when to take initiative and when to ask for input or support.

You are a seasoned architectural professional who has moved well beyond pure production work. You understand how projects are truly delivered — technically, financially, and relationally — and you bring expertise judgment, and calm to complex situations.

You communicate clearly and thoughtfully, both verbally and in writing, and are comfortable crafting emails, letters, and documentation that guide teams and clients with clarity and professionalism. You know when to take ownership, when to collaborate, and when to escalate thoughtfully.

In addition, the right person for this role brings:

• 15+ years of professional architectural experience

• A professional degree in Architecture from an accredited program

• Architectural licensure required

• Demonstrated success managing multiple architectural projects concurrently

• High-level experience coordinating structural, MEP, and civil consultants

• Proven ability to successfully manage scope, schedule, and budget

• Seasoned experience reviewing and interpreting architectural drawings and technical documentation

• Experience developing custom architectural details to support unique design intent

• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and follow-through

• A collaborative working style grounded in emotional intelligence and respect

Technical Skills

• Advanced proficiency in Revit and BIM-based workflows

• Working knowledge of AutoCAD

• Expert-level ability to review, interpret, and guide architectural drawings and technical documentation

• Familiarity with project scheduling and coordination tools

What Success Will Look Like

For day-to-day success, you will…

• Exhibit flexibility, kindness and a willingness to learn

• Build strong working relationships through follow-through and clear communication

• Deliver architectural projects that are well-coordinated, clearly communicated, and aligned with design intent

• Maintain a clear, accurate view of project health, including scope, schedule, budget, and risks
