About the Role

We are expanding our Design Standards Studio and looking for a Governance & Publications Lead to establish the operational framework, digital workspace architecture, and governance standards that keep our physical brand consistent across every project. Our Design Standards Studio creates forward-looking, highly scaled physical design frameworks, bringing together creative vision, technical precision, and operational rigor. As the Governance & Publications Lead, you will lead the studio's governance pillar—defining systems, creating operational tools, and maintaining a seamless digital ecosystem.

Responsibilities

Define, optimize, and maintain the end-to-end lifecycle for updating and managing physical design standards alongside cross-functional leadership.
Serve as the system owner for studio workflow structures, including folder/drive architecture, and digital asset organization in close collaboration with the BIM Manager and Documentation Manager.
Organize, maintain, and publish design standards, playbooks, and templates through our Content Management System (CMS).
Coordinate with studio leaders to plan and schedule internal training modules and workshops, keeping project managers and design teams up to date on evolving standards.
Track workflow health, identify operational bottlenecks, streamline process pipelines, and escalate key performance risks to Studio Directors.
Develop design aesthetic quality control checklists, review guidelines, and exception-tracking workflows for external CD90 Architect of Record (AOR) aesthetic verification submittals, enabling project managers to effectively monitor compliance with Design Studio Standards.
Oversee software seat allocations, compliance, and licensing coordination (e.g., Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, Adobe Creative Suite) in the near term, preparing processes for seamless transition to the Documentation Manager.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in Design Operations, Architectural/Engineering Project Management, Program Management, or Design Governance.
Proven track record managing complex workflows and cross-functional alignment in design-heavy or corporate rollout environments (e.g., retail, hospitality, tech, or industrial programs).
Hands-on experience establishing document control protocols, digital asset management, file-naming conventions, and folder architecture.
Exceptional communication skills with a history of building consensus across diverse teams (Design, Engineering, Operations, and external partners).
Demonstrated experience creating operational checklists, QA/QC frameworks, and governance playbooks for project execution teams.
Fluency with project management and digital collaboration tools such as Google Workspace, Asana, Miro, Bluebeam, and Autodesk Construction Cloud / BIM 360.
