For those who believe luxury
should restore, awaken and leave a lighter footprint, this is a chance to shape
hospitality that feels as meaningful and transformative as it
is beautiful.

Six Senses, Regent and InterContinental sit at the top of the IHG
Hotels & Resorts portfolio, and all are growing in a highly competitive
and fast-moving creative market. Design strategy is what gives each brand
its edge, style definition, emotional impact and unmistakable soul. Working
at the intersection of brand articulation, guest experiences, luxury and UHNW
consumer insight and hospitality innovation, this role translates brand strategy
into compelling physical design and style experiences.

As our Senior Manager Global
Design Strategies, you will help shape the stories, design concepts
and atmosphere cues that help owners, architects and design partners bring our
luxury brands to life. Part creative visionary, part design translator,
you will connect brand ambition with scalable design guidelines and style
programmes that move the commercial performance and guest love for each brand.
This role will report directly to the Global Head of Design Strategies,
Luxury & Lifestyle Brands with coordination across the global business
and key brand leaders.

What you'll do

Lead
the development and implementation of global brand design strategy initiatives
across InterContinental, Regent and Six Senses. This includes our hotel
projects as well as resort and Branded Residential
guidelines.
