We are seeking an experienced Senior Landscape Designer to lead high-end residential design-build projects with direct ownership of client engagement, design development, and project closure.
This is a hybrid design and sales role — not a purely creative design position. The ideal candidate is a confident, client-facing professional who can guide homeowners through the full lifecycle of a project, from the initial consultation through concept development, presentation, and signed agreement.
You will play a direct role in driving revenue, generating backlog for installation teams, and creating exceptional outdoor living environments for estate-level residential clients.
Responsibilities
- Meet with homeowners and estate-level clients to understand project goals, design vision, lifestyle needs, and budget expectations
- Develop custom residential landscape concepts, outdoor living spaces, and detailed site layouts tailored to each client
- Create polished 3D models, renderings, and visual presentations that clearly communicate design intent
- Lead client presentations and consultative sales conversations with confidence and professionalism
- Close high-end residential landscape projects typically ranging from $50K–$100K+ in value
- Generate consistent project backlog by converting active opportunities into signed contracts
- Manage multiple active client opportunities while maintaining responsiveness and high service standards
- Collaborate closely with installation and field teams to ensure accurate execution of approved design concepts
- Contribute to ongoing improvements in design processes, customer experience, and sales performance
- Maintain strong client relationships throughout the full project lifecycle
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in residential landscape design or design-build environments
- Proven track record successfully selling and closing residential landscape or outdoor living projects
- Experience working with high-end residential or estate-level clientele required
- Strong proficiency in landscape design software with advanced 3D modeling and rendering capabilities
- Excellent client-facing, presentation, and consultative sales skills
- Ability to independently manage the full project lifecycle from consultation through signed agreement
- Comfortable being measured on revenue production, project conversion, and backlog generation
- Residential design-build background required — commercial-only experience will not be considered
- Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
Benefits
- Competitive base salary plus commission and performance-based bonus opportunities
- Health insurance and benefits package
- Retirement plan options
- Paid time off
- Direct impact on company growth, revenue generation, and project pipeline development
