About Ironwood Design Group

Ironwood Design Group is a landscape architecture and master planning practice with offices in Atlanta and Nashville, working on projects across the country. Our team focuses on creating thoughtful, well-crafted environments that balance design, experience, and long-term performance.

Landscape architecture is both an art and a science—an exterior realization of a concept. We apply timeless design principles to every project, grounded in four core ideas: form, experience, visualization, and movement. Our work spans mixed-use, multifamily, hospitality, and public realm environments, with an emphasis on placemaking and the integration of landscape with architecture and infrastructure.

We are engaged from early concept through construction, working closely with clients and consultants to ensure projects are both compelling in design and successful in execution.

We operate as a single studio, where teams work closely together and support one another across projects. We value ownership, initiative, and a shared responsibility for delivering high-quality work. This is a fast-paced environment where expectations are high, and team members are encouraged to contribute meaningfully to both their projects and the success of the studio as a whole.

Role Overview

Project Managers at Ironwood Design Group lead projects from kickoff through construction, ensuring alignment between design intent, technical execution, and project performance. This role is both design-driven and execution-focused, requiring strong leadership, clear communication, and a high level of accountability.

Project Managers serve as the primary point of contact for clients and consultants and are responsible for delivering projects that meet Ironwood’s standards for quality, efficiency, and constructability. This includes managing scope, schedule, budget, and team coordination across all phases of work.

This role operates with a high degree of autonomy, and Project Managers are expected to take ownership of their projects. Studio Directors and Principals provide leadership oversight and support, particularly during master planning, concept design, and key project milestones. Depending on experience and strengths, Project Managers may actively contribute to or lead design efforts during early phases.

Project Managers are also expected to contribute to the success of the broader studio, supporting collaboration across teams and assisting where needed to maintain overall workflow and performance.
