Position Summary The Interior Designer owns complete Interior Design (ID) Sets for assigned hospitality projects, from intake and brand-standards review through client and brand approval and handover to Procurement. The ID Set is the deliverable the brand approves, the client signs off on, and Estimating, Procurement, and Logistics rely on to price, source, and install every item in the property. JM Hospitality Solutions provides interior design, procurement, and manufacturing under one roof, so documentation accuracy carries directly into purchasing and production: specification and tagging errors surface downstream as change orders, substitutions, or manufacturing defects.

Process and Standards All projects follow the JMHS ID Set standard operating procedure, which defines deliverables and approval gates at each phase: client approval of design intent prior to design development, written client approval of FF&E selections prior to package finalization, and two internal QA/QC reviews — one for accuracy and brand compliance, one for constructability and value engineering — prior to client submission. Standard production windows are six to eight weeks for a Soft PIP set, eight to ten weeks for a Full PIP, and twelve or more for custom projects, scheduled backward from the submittal deadline with time allocated for client review cycles.
