We're looking for a Creative Technologist to join the Art and Media team. We create bold, experiential work. Attractions, environments, installations, moments where creative and technology come together in unexpected ways. This role sits right in the middle of that. You’ll be exploring ideas, building prototypes, and figuring out how things actually work. Sometimes that’s in Unity. Sometimes it’s scripts, tools, or workflows. Sometimes it’s connecting digital systems to something physical in the real world. A lot of the time, there isn’t a clear path. That’s the point. You’ll take creative ideas and help turn them into something real. Not always polished, not always perfect, but far enough that the team can see it, react to it, and build on it. You’ll work across projects, jumping in where things get unclear, technical, or just a bit weird. Part problem-solver, part builder, part collaborator. Key Responsibilities 1. Explore and Prototype • Quickly turn ideas into rough prototypes that the team can see and respond to., • Experiment with different approaches, tools and techniques to find what works., • Contribute to early-stage thinking by showing what’s possible, not just describing it. 2. Build Real-Time and Interactive Work • Develop interactive and real-time elements, often using Unity, touch designer or similar platforms., • Create systems such as particle effects, interactions, and visual behaviours., • Keep performance and stability in mind as ideas move closer to delivery 3. Figure Things Out • Take on problems that don’t have a clear owner or solution., • Work across different tools and technologies to get something working., • Build scripts, tools or processes where needed to support the work., • Be comfortable learning what you need, when you need it. 4. Support Projects Where It Matters • Work alongside Creative Leads and the wider team to bring ideas to life., • Step into projects when something needs unblocking or testing., • Help bridge the gap between creative ambition and technical reality. 5. Share What You Learn • Bring others into your thinking and process where useful., • Share tools, techniques and discoveries with the team., • Help raise the overall confidence of the team when working with technology. You should have: • Experience in creative technology, interactive media, or similar fields., • Comfort working with real-time engines such as Unity (or similar)., • Ability to work across different tools, languages or platforms when needed., • A curious, self-driven mindset, motivated by figuring things out., • Comfort working without a clear answer or approach., • A collaborative and open way of working with others. A good fit for this role is someone who: • Likes being given a problem more than a brief, • Enjoys experimenting and building things from scratch, • Doesn’t mind not knowing the answer straight away, • Gets energy from making ideas real What it's like working at CONDUCTR CONDUCTR is proud to be recognised as a Great Place to Work®, officially certified for our outstanding workplace culture and employee satisfaction.

Fully Remote (UK) | Education Projects | Unique Opportunity via Grõ Careers At Grõ Careers, we spend a large part of our time speaking with architects who feel caught between two frustrations: • wanting exposure to better projects and stronger studios, • but no longer wanting the rigidity of traditional office culture The reality is, genuinely flexible architectural roles within respected design-led environments are still surprisingly rare. Most “hybrid” roles quickly become 3-5 days in the office. This opportunity is different. We are currently supporting a globally recognised architectural studio looking to appoint both… • Experienced / Senior Architect (£45,000 - £55,000), • Experienced Part II / Qualified Architect (£35,000 - £42,500) … to support the delivery of significant UK education projects. The business operates internationally across major sectors including education, transport, commercial and complex mixed-use environments and has developed a strong reputation for delivering technically sophisticated, design-led work. Importantly, they have also built a genuinely successful remote-first working culture. Whilst the role is technically aligned to their London studio, the team currently operates fully remotely. Employees may occasionally be asked to attend the office when required, meaning candidates do need to be within a commutable distance of London, however there are currently no signs of a return to office-based working. For many architects, this creates a genuinely rare balance… serious projects, strong studio pedigree and meaningful flexibility. The Projects… The successful candidates will initially support the delivery of UK education schemes, including a major school project. The wider education portfolio includes highly collaborative, technically ambitious learning environments designed around sustainability, flexibility and long-term community impact. A good reference point for the type of work delivered by the studio is large-scale contemporary education and research environments that include award-winning buildings. Projects often combine advanced learning, technical and research spaces within a highly sustainable and collaborative architectural environment. This is not repetitive volume housing or production-led delivery work. The projects are thoughtful, technically considered and stakeholder-heavy environments requiring architects who enjoy coordination, problem solving and meaningful project involvement. What The Role Will Feel Like… This is the kind of environment where individuals are trusted. The studio is looking for architects who are proactive, collaborative and capable of taking ownership within a remote working structure. Depending on level, responsibilities are likely to include… • Leading and coordinating project packages, • Working across multiple RIBA stages, • Producing and managing Revit-based information, • Coordinating consultants and wider stakeholders, • Supporting technical delivery and design development, • Contributing to project communication and team coordination The studio ideally values broad RIBA Stage exposure (0 to 7), however they are open-minded toward architects whose experience is weighted either toward early design or technical delivery stages, provided they are motivated to broaden their experience. What They Are Looking For… For Experienced / Senior Architects… • Strong UK project experience, • Proven coordination and project leadership ability, • Experience across multiple RIBA stages, • Strong Revit capability, • Collaborative and proactive mindset, • Education sector experience is essential For experienced Part II / Qualified Architects… • Strong project involvement and growing ownership, • Confident Revit user, • Technical awareness and coordination ability, • Desire to develop across all project stages, • Team-oriented and organised approach Important Considerations… Due to the remote nature of the role, candidates will need: • A suitable home working setup, • Strong internet connection, • The ability to work effectively remotely, • To be within a commutable distance of London Why We Think This Is Worth Exploring We work on a lot of architectural opportunities across the market. Very few combine… • genuine remote flexibility, • strong project quality, • international studio pedigree, • genuinely interesting work, • long-term progression potential, • broad RIBA stage exposure …in the way this opportunity currently does. For architects who want to continue developing their career without returning to a heavily office-centric working model, this is a genuinely interesting position to explore. To find out more, apply with your CV today to Grõ Careers to arrange a confidential conversation.

Client Director - Transformation Consulting (Manchester) £90,000–£130,000 base + significant bonus + uncapped commission We're working with a fast-growing Consulting business that’s building out its Manchester hub and looking for a senior Client Director to lead commercial growth in the North. This is a proper build role. The Manchester office is being scaled from the ground up, with backing from an established London business delivering large-scale transformation programmes across AI, data, digital and operating model change. They compete directly with the Big Four and major consulting firms, and are winning work based on pace, senior relationships and delivery-led outcomes. This is a strong fit for someone currently in a large consultancy, or a senior commercial role across consulting, staffing or enterprise SaaS who wants more ownership and faster progression. The Role You’ll be responsible for building the commercial engine in the North. That means; • Winning new enterprise clients across the region, • Growing and owning strategic “diamond” accounts, • Building senior C-suite relationships across large organisations, • Leading conversations around transformation programmes and consulting-led solutions, • Driving multi-year, high-value engagements (not transactional work), • Helping shape the go-to-market approach for the Manchester hub This is very much a “get out in the market and build it” role - meetings, dinners, networking, client engagement, and senior-level relationship building. You’ll be trusted to operate with autonomy and expected to create momentum quickly. What They’re Looking For • Strong track record of winning and growing enterprise accounts, • Experience in Consulting, Big 4, Staffing, Professional Services or Enterprise SaaS, • Comfortable operating with C-level and senior decision-makers, • Proven ability to open doors and convert complex deals, • Relationship-led, consultative approach (not transactional sales), • Commercially sharp, self-sufficient, and highly driven, • Strong presence in market, visible, networked, proactive This suits people who know how to build trust in complex organisations and turn that into long-term revenue. Package • £90,000–£130,000 base salary, • Significant bonus structure, • Uncapped commission with strong accelerators, • Equity potential for the right person, • Rapid progression as the Manchester hub scales Top performers will move quickly into broader leadership roles as the region grows. You’re not inheriting a polished sales machine, you’re helping create the Manchester commercial engine for a business already proving itself at enterprise level. It’s a chance to step out of a structured Big 4 / large consultancy environment and into something more entrepreneurial, where impact is visible and progression is fast. If you’re strong commercially and want more ownership, this is worth a look.

We’ve set up a panel of people within the business to champion difference, and we have ambassadors who are gaining their IPA D, E & I certifications.

We are adapting our practices, offering home working, flexibility around start times, offer monthly life-balance days, offer access to mental health professionals, assess our working spaces to accommodate brilliant neurodivergent minds.

From a broader perspective, these opportunities offer: • Clear and achievable progression pathways in line with team growth, • Exposure to high-quality work within a supportive, non-pressurised environment, • A collaborative and inclusive culture that encourages professional development, • The chance to build both internal profile and external client relationships These roles represent a compelling option for those open to exploring opportunities in either Leeds or Manchester.
