Position Summary

As a Senior Interior Designer | Project Manager at Aspen Vacations, you will lead the transformation of luxury vacation rental properties, managing interior design projects from concept through completion and collaborating closely with homeowners, contractors, trades, vendors, and internal team members throughout the process. Projects vary greatly in scope, from furnishing and decor refreshes to complete renovations, across a portfolio of elevated in-town condos and mountain residences with an active pipeline of upcoming projects.

This role is a unique opportunity to design and curate memorable spaces that will be enjoyed by many during special trips with family and friends.

Owners largely rely on Aspen Vacations to make design decisions that will be most appealing to future guests, with the goal of making each home rental-ready as quickly as possible.

You'll take homes from concept to vacation-ready in a matter of months, quickly building a meaningful body of completed work.
