How You Will Make an Impact:

Your role is important and below are some of the fundamental job duties that make your work unique.

What will I be doing:

Hilton’s Global Design team is seeking someone who blends creative style with smart business sense and is excited about joining a team that thrives at the intersection of design and travel. Hilton is on a mission to reinvent “The Stay”, looking for architects and designers who can help redefine the Luxury hotel, resort, and branded residence experience that meets our evolving guest and owner needs.

As a Director of Architecture & Design, you manage strategic brand initiatives and create new revenue-generating opportunities in our growing NAM Luxury hotel portfolio. This strategic design role will ensure the quality, operational excellence, and voice are right for each of our distinctive Luxury brands. You are design astute and brand knowledgeable, and able to integrate the two while meeting evolving development and business demands.

  1. Lead Luxury Brand and GDS initiatives with polish and a passion for increased performance, innovation, NUG (Net Unit Growth), PIP development, and long-range CapEx planning.
  2. Explore and define opportunities, communicate the vision, and guide active projects to ensure we are ahead of the curve, tracking the progress of multiple design and construction projects simultaneously.
  3. Engage partners - internal Brand, Development, Food & Beverage, Wellness, IT, and MEP colleagues and our Ownership teams to envision and facilitate elevated, necessary renovations and redevelopment projects.
  4. Review and assess project documents, including design presentations, Architectural, FF&E, and General Construction drawings, and specification submittals for agreement on GDS and Brand standards.
  5. Deliver as the face and voice of our Global Design team thoughtfully composed oral, written, and visual recommendations and approval documents for internal and external publication and negotiations.

What you will take ownership of:

  1. Drive portfolio-wide CapEx planning strategies and partner with Brand, Operations, and GMs to establish guidelines for our NAM Luxury Brands, with property-specific objectives and work plans through execution.
  2. Lead collaborative design initiatives between Brand and GDS to elevate our Luxury portfolio through innovation in our Luxury and Lifestyle-influenced market segment.
  3. Help write RFPs and PIPs while driving diversification of consultant resources, providing proposal assessments to best identify project-specific consultant talent.
  4. Deliver DRC Presentations to our executive committee and project updates to our Brand leaders.
  5. Support the evolution, maintenance, and new development of strategic Luxury Brand initiatives and resource documents for relevance, being Brand Design Narratives, Design Guides, NAM regional D&C Standards, Global Key Brand Attributes, communication tools, design award submissions.

You have these minimum qualifications:

  1. Five (5) years of Luxury & Lifestyle Brand strategy-focused commensurate experience in hospitality design, project management, and construction roles.
  2. Four (4) years of experience with corporate communications, direct ownership communications, and team management.
  3. Mastery of SketchUp, AutoCAD, InDesign, Bluebeam, and Microsoft PowerPoint.
  4. Ability to travel up to 40% of the time.

It would be useful if you have:

  1. Bachelor’s degree in Architecture.
  2. Advanced degree in Architecture, Interior Architecture & Design, or Real Estate Development.
  3. Fifteen (15) years of hospitality experience and innovation in a mixture of design and construction roles in the Luxury & Lifestyle arena.
