Associate Director – Design-led Architecture Practice, London

A leading design-focused architecture studio is seeking an experienced Associate Director to join its growing London team. Known for its socially driven, design‑led approach, the practice delivers thoughtful and sustainable architecture that shapes communities and enhances everyday life. This is an exceptional opportunity for a senior architect ready to take a strategic and creative leadership role within one of London’s most respected studios.

As Associate Director, you’ll play a central role in both the creative and commercial growth of the practice — leading major architectural projects while contributing to business development, team leadership, and client engagement. You’ll join a collaborative leadership group that values initiative, innovation, and meaningful design with social impact.

The Role

  • Lead project teams on complex architectural commissions from concept to completion
  • Champion design quality and ensure delivery of outstanding, buildable architecture
  • Drive business development and strengthen relationships with clients and partners
  • Contribute to the practice’s strategic direction, mentoring junior and senior architects
  • Represent the studio externally, promoting its vision and values within the industry

About You

  • Qualified architect with around 15 years’ experience and a strong design portfolio
  • Proven leadership on major commercial, mixed‑use, or regeneration projects
  • Track record in business development and building lasting client networks
  • Passionate about sustainability, design quality, and social value
  • Confident in leading and inspiring multidisciplinary teams
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills with a professional, collaborative approach
  • Proficient in Revit (MicroStation experience advantageous)
  • Based in London, with flexibility for hybrid working

The Practice

This established and ambitious London studio is entering a new phase of growth, working on projects across the UK with a focus on quality, innovation, and social purpose. The team fosters a professional yet relaxed culture where ideas are shared openly, people are supported, and creativity is encouraged.

The practice operates a hybrid working policy with two days WFH, offering genuine flexibility alongside strong mentorship and career progression.

  • Title: Associate Director
  • Location: Central London (with flexibility)
  • Salary: £70,000+, depending on experience
  • Working Pattern: Full-time, hybrid

Apply Now

If you’re a design‑led architect with strong business development skills and the ambition to help shape the future of a creative, socially engaged practice, apply today for this Associate Director opportunity in London.
