Ideal Experience:

  • Leadership and Coordination: Experience managing large teams of external consultants, ensuring project goals are met with precision.
  • Programme Management: Expertise in developing and managing design programmes, tracking progress and adapting plans to meet evolving project needs.
  • Contractual Understanding: A deep knowledge of contract administration, including managing scope, appointing sub-consultants, and handling variations.
  • High-Value Project Exposure: Background in managing complex, high-pressure projects, with values in excess of £20-£40 million. International project experience highly desirable.
  • Team Leadership: Experience in leading small teams, managing resources, delegating responsibilities, and driving progress on key deliverables.


What You’ll Gain:

  • Architectural Collaboration: You’ll work alongside a renowned architecture team, managing some of the most prestigious design projects globally.
  • Strategic Mentorship: Learn from industry leaders who will guide you through the intricacies of design management.
  • Career Growth: This role offers clear paths and deliverables for progression, building your expertise in the strategic and commercial elements of project management.
