About the role

As part of our continued growth in the United States and Canada, we are seeking a Senior Wayfinding Planner to lead the delivery of complex wayfinding solutions for both interior and exterior environments.

This role requires strong research and analytical skills to navigate complexity, develop insights, and translate ideas into clear and effective solutions. You will work collaboratively with design teams to integrate and implement strategies, balancing competing demands to support the wider team in meeting project and client deadlines.

As a senior member of the firm, you will also play a key role in growing the US business, working alongside company leadership to secure new clients and projects.

The role will require domestic and international travel for location-based working, project meetings and presentations. You will be based in our Bay Area office, with flexible working arrangements, including home working.‍
