Job Description

As Director of Architectural Planning, you’ll be a key leader within the Store Experience team—guiding the development and execution of site-specific planning, design standards, construction documentation, and permitting processes that support both retail and non-retail initiatives. You’ll champion architectural excellence and ensure brand consistency across our physical spaces, enabling efficient, scalable deployment of projects throughout the organization.

This role is hybrid, which means you will work some days on site at a Best Buy location and some days virtually at home or another non-Best Buy location.  The specific work arrangements vary by role and team.  The recruiter or hiring manager will provide more details during the hiring process.

For this role, you must be located within a drivable distance to our office in Richfield, Minnesota


What you’ll do
 
  • Lead a team of architects and planners in the development of scalable site-specific solutions aligned to enterprise strategies.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional partners (construction, design, real estate, visual merchandising, operations) to bring initiatives to life through thoughtful physical design.
  • Set long-term vision and roadmap for architectural evolution, drawing from trends, innovations, and internal business needs.

Architecture & Design Standards
  • Define and evolve building standards, material specifications, and criteria for all store types and formats, ensuring they meet operational, experiential, and sustainability goals.
  • Govern the chainwide deployment of design concepts and specifications to maintain consistency and quality across the fleet.

Store Planning & Construction Documentation
  • Oversee the creation and maintenance of store-specific plans and maps.
  • Direct the development of site-specific construction documents to support build-outs, remodels, and non-retail projects.
  • Ensure accurate and timely documentation for permit submission and entitlement services, in compliance with jurisdictional requirements.

Project Execution
  • Partner with construction and project delivery teams to ensure planning outputs are executable and aligned with timelines and budgets.
  • Troubleshoot architectural or permitting challenges that may delay or disrupt project deployment.
  • Drive continuous improvement in planning tools, document workflows, and CAD/BIM standards.

Basic Qualifications
  • 10 or more years of experience in retail architecture, store planning, or demonstrated strong leadership of multi-disciplinary teams
  • 5 or more years of experience with responsibility for financial results including budget responsibility (In this role, the budget exceeds $10 million)
  • 4 or more years of experience with direct people leadership and team management
  • 1 or more years of experience managing leaders/managers
Preferred Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Architecture or related field
  • Architectural licensure preferred.
  • Deep understanding of zoning, permitting, and entitlement requirements across multiple jurisdictions.
  • Advanced level proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit, or other industry-standard tools
  • 2 or more years of recent experience/expertise with document management systems
