As Head of Project Delivery, you will be the operational spine of The Studio — the person clients trust to translate Nandita's design vision into flawlessly executed homes, on time and within agreed scope. This is a senior leadership role that combines deep site expertise with exceptional client management and the ability to build and lead a high\-performing execution team.
You will own the delivery lifecycle from post\-design handover through to project close and client sign\-off, working in close partnership with the founder and design team on every project.
– End\-to\-end execution of 4–6 concurrent turnkey residential interior projects across Bengaluru
– Maintain detailed project schedules (Gantt/MS Project or equivalent) and proactively manage risks to timeline and quality
– Daily site supervision and coordination of civil, carpentry, electrical, plumbing, painting, and finish trades
– Conduct structured site audits and quality checks at every key milestone — carcass, shutters, services rough\-in, finishes, and snagging
– Manage material and product procurement in sync with the design team, ensuring on\-time delivery without storage waste
– Serve as the primary day\-to\-day point of contact for clients during execution — proactive, clear, and reassuring
– Facilitate structured client review meetings at key milestones and produce clean MOM and progress updates
– Manage scope changes, design revisions, and client expectations with professionalism and diplomacy
– Ensure the post\-handover snagging process is thorough and resolved swiftly
– Build and maintain a curated roster of reliable civil contractors, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and specialist trades
– Negotiate and manage vendor contracts, work orders, and payment milestones
– Drive vendor accountability on quality standards — coach and course\-correct, not just oversee
– Qualify and onboard new vendors as the studio's project mix evolves
– Own project budgets — track actuals vs estimates, flag variances early, and protect project margins
– Raise and approve vendor payment claims based on verified work completion
– Maintain project cost sheets and contribute to post\-project budget reviews
– Lead and mentor project coordinators and site supervisors (team of 3–5 to be built/structured with you)
– Define and improve delivery SOPs, quality checklists, and site documentation standards
– Work collaboratively with the design team to ensure execution intent matches design vision
– 10–14 years of experience in interior design project management, construction management, or fit\-out delivery — preferably in premium residential
– Deep working knowledge of residential interior trades: carpentry \& joinery, civil finishes, MEP coordination, painting, glass, stone, and hardware
– Demonstrated ability to deliver multi\-room or full\-home turnkey projects in Bengaluru's contractor and vendor ecosystem
– Strong client\-facing communication skills — written and verbal — with the ability to build long\-term trust
– Commercial acumen: confident reading and managing project cost sheets and vendor payment schedules
– Proficiency with project management tools (MS Project, GanttProject, Asana, or similar) and basic MS Office / Google Workspace
– High ownership mindset — you treat the project as if it were your own home
– A calm, steady presence on\-site and with clients, especially under pressure
– Attention to detail that borders on obsessive — you notice what others miss
– An intuitive understanding of quality and craft; you cannot walk past something that is not right
– Collaborative with the design team and respectful of the creative vision behind each project
– Comfortable in a small, flat, founder\-led team where initiative and flexibility matter
– Degree or diploma in Civil Engineering, Architecture, or Interior Design
– Experience in a boutique or high\-end residential design firm specifically
– Familiarity with AutoCAD or basic drawing interpretation for site coordination
– Competitive compensation commensurate with experience and the seniority of the role
– A senior leadership position with meaningful ownership and scope to shape the delivery function
– The opportunity to work closely with one of Bangalore's most respected designers and build on a 15\-year legacy
– A small, high\-trust team environment — your work is seen and your contribution matters
– Exposure to some of the most beautifully designed residential projects in the city
