We’re excited to be partnering with a team known for creating workplaces that people love to be in. They blend creativity, strategy, and delivery like no one else, and right now, they’re looking for a Creative Lead with an Architectural background to help shape what’s next.

This is more than a senior design role – it’s a chance to lead with vision, bring teams together, and work closely with clients and architects to make truly meaningful spaces. If you’re hands-on, passionate about workplace design, and ready to step into a role where you can have a real impact, this could be the perfect move.

• Playing a key role in pitches and winning new work with confidence and warmth
• Building strong relationships with clients
• Confidence and experience working with the team on site as projects progress through to later stages
• Driving fresh, thoughtful concepts and ensuring design quality through to delivery
• Bridging the gap between design and delivery – always with the bigger picture in mind
• Representing the studio in a way that’s clear, inspiring, and distinctly you

Requirements

• A background in architecture, with experience across all RIBA stages

• A strong and engaging portfolio showing a clear passion for workplace interiors
