Whether you’ve got deep experience in commercial real estate, skilled trades or technology, or you’re looking to apply your relevant experience to a new industry, join our team as we help shape a brighter way forward.

What this job involves:

JLL's Workplace and Healthcare Design Advisory practice is shaping the future of the built environment, and we are seeking a Design Manager to join our North America practice, focused in the Toronto market.

Our team is building something distinctive -- a design and advisory business grounded in evidence, anchored in human behaviour, and committed to making the built environment work harder for the organisations and people it serves. We combine workplace strategy and advisory, design excellence, and project leadership and delivery to help organisations shape environments that drive performance and wellbeing.

We are looking for a Design Manager who will be the design backbone of our Canadian practice. This is a role for someone who takes genuine pride in the quality and craft of design work, who leads project teams with confidence and care, and who understands that great design begins with asking the right questions before a single line is drawn.

You will be responsible for the day-to-day design leadership of the Canadian studio -- managing projects from brief through delivery, guiding and developing the design team, maintaining quality standards, and ensuring every piece of work that leaves this practice reflects the highest level of design thinking and execution.

The Design Manager will report to the SVP Studio Director, and work in close collaboration with the EVP, Workplace and Healthcare Design Advisory, Americas. As the practice expands its healthcare advisory footprint across North America, this role offers a meaningful opportunity to develop experience in healthcare design, a sector undergoing significant transformation and investment.
