About Signature Hospitality Group (SHG) At Signature Hospitality Group, we create places people love — venues full of energy, connection, personality, and unforgettable moments. From the roar of a packed sports bar to the clink of cocktails shared between friends, our spaces are built to bring people together and celebrate good times. We’re the team behind The Sporting Globe, TGI Fridays, and Varsity, with 50 locations nationwide (and growing fast). Every venue, every concept, and every detail reflects our passion for hospitality and the people who experience it. As we continue to go far and go together, we’re seeking a Design Manager who will shape creative design solutions that bring our hospitality environments to life across all our brands. What You’ll Be Doing Lead the creation and evolution of scalable design elements across all Signature brands, shaping the visual language and atmosphere of our venues. Produce thoughtful 3D models, drawings, presentations, and documentation that bring ideas to life with clarity and craft. Select materials, finishes, and textures that feel tactile, authentic, and aligned with each brand’s personality while still meeting functional requirements. Work closely with internal teams to ensure our design standards grow with the needs of the business and the expectations of our guests. Partner with architects, engineers, contractors, and suppliers to bring concepts from imagination to physical reality. Communicate and present design thinking confidently, guiding stakeholders through your creative process. Balance artistic vision with commercial and operational considerations, ensuring each venue feels both inspiring and achievable. What You’ll Bring At least 6 years of experience in hospitality, architecture, or experiential design, with a strong portfolio of built environments. A degree in Architecture, Interior Design, or a related discipline. The ability to embrace ambiguity and guide ideas from loose concept to refined detail. Skills in concepting, ideation, colour, typography, spatial design, and storytelling. Proficiency in Revit/Autodesk, Adobe Suite, and rendering software such as Enscape or similar.

The ability to work both independently and collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams. A current driver’s licence. Why Join Us?
