At the heart of our design philosophy lies a continuous pursuit of new insights and a firm commitment to people, cultures, and ecosystems. At Henning Larsen, we view the future as a space full of opportunity and influence. We are therefore seeking a talented and motivated Senior Designer for our international Competition Team in Munich or Berlin to help us shape visionary sustainable architecture and human-centred places.

In our Munich or Berlin office, you will become part of a company engaged in national and international projects of all scales. We work across a wide range of typologies and spatial contexts. You will join a creative culture and a long-standing tradition of innovative, sustainable architecture.

Your responsibilities include:

• Strengthening and further developing our architectural design quality and competencies through a state-of-the-art project portfolio and a client-centred approach, acting as a trusted advisor
• Maintaining client relationships and ensuring a client-oriented project approach
• Leading and safeguarding design quality, methodology, design reviews, pin-ups, and client activities in early project stages, in close collaboration with project management
• Ensuring synergies between projects, competitions, services, and clients
• Delivering confident and compelling presentations to clients, authorities, and internal global design committees
• Leading design and planning processes within interdisciplinary and international teams
• Ensuring compliance with company standards and guidelines

Your profile:

• Several years of professional experience (minimum 5 years) with proven expertise in competitions
• Strong conceptual thinking and a high level of design ambition and creativity
• Ability to work independently, solution-oriented, and with strong attention to quality
• Experience in developing designs in 2D, 3D, visualisations, and graphics using Revit, Rhino, and Enscape
• Fluent and confident in both German and English
