About Jasmax:

Jasmax is a multi-award-winning architecture and design practice with studios across Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia. With over 250 staff members, Jasmax offers multi-disciplinary expertise and integrated design solutions across architecture, landscape, interior design, and urban design to deliver complex projects across all sectors, from city-shaping infrastructure to local community spaces.

The role:

This is an opportunity for an experienced landscape architect to take on a meaningful senior leadership role in the next stage of growth for our Landscape practice across Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia. We are open to someone already operating at a senior or Principal level, or someone with the design maturity, client credibility and leadership capability to step towards a future Principal role.

This will include guiding teams, strengthening client and market relationships, contributing to bids and submissions, and helping build a strong pipeline of landscape work across public realm, infrastructure, civic, education and community sectors. You will bring strategic perspective, sound commercial judgement and practical delivery experience, with the confidence to build trust, lead conversations and translate ambitious ideas into well-resolved outcomes.

For the right person, this role offers a genuine opportunity to influence the next chapter of Jasmax’s Landscape practice, its design culture, client relationships, regional opportunities and contribution to significant city-shaping and community-focused projects.

• Confidence representing Jasmax through client presentations, workshops, interviews, submissions and industry engagement.
• A strategic, market-aware mindset, with the ability, or potential, to identify and pursue opportunities across public realm, infrastructure, education, civic, regeneration and related sectors.
