</ul><ul><li>Participate in consultant interviews and appointments, ensuring the right creative partners are engaged for each project.</li>
</ul><ul><li>Collaborate with Hive&rsquo;s operational and brand teams to ensure design is not only beautiful but also functional and community-enhancing.</li>
</ul><ul><li>Represent Hive in major design presentations, mock-up reviews, and authority interactions where design integrity is at stake.</li>
</ul><ul><li>Keep abreast of lifestyle, hospitality, and residential design trends across the GCC and globally.</li>
<li>
</li></ul>4. Ideal Candidate Profile:<ul>
</ul><ul>
<li>8&ndash;12 years of experience in architecture and/or interior design, with proven experience in leading or reviewing design for real estate developments.</li>
</ul><ul><li>Strong track record working on lifestyle-led residential or mixed-use projects in the GCC; UAE experience is essential.</li>
</ul><ul><li>Deep understanding of the Middle East design and development landscape, including market expectations, regulatory environments, and cultural context.</li>

</ul><ul><li>Excellent visual communication and stakeholder management skills; able to articulate design intent to internal and external audiences.</li>
</ul><ul><li>Passionate about placemaking, human-scale environments, and the intersection of lifestyle, culture, and design.</li>
