If you’re an ambitious RIBA Part 2 / newly qualified architect in a leading practice… you already know the trade-off: Big-name studio = brilliant projects… but you can spend years supporting, not owning. Small studio = huge responsibility… but limited scale, structure, and progression. What if you didn’t have to choose? This isn’t a “traditional practice” role. This is an opportunity to join a newly formed Residential + Urban Design team inside a growing, design-led business - with the pace and autonomy of a start-up… but backed by the infrastructure of a much larger, non-traditional group. You’ll be put in the seat where the opportunities are. Not just producing. Influencing. Presenting. Owning. Led by a Head of Architecture with a pedigree spanning award-winning housing, major cultural projects, and serious urban thinking - the team is intentionally creative… and now looking to add a designer with proper London residential grounding to help shape what this division becomes. The work Residential, mixed-use, and urban design projects ranging from 5-500 units, with a sweet spot in design-led, higher-end 10-50 unit schemes - the kind of work where design-led architecture meets bespoke interiors. A week could include: • Owning a high-end multi-unit scheme (layouts, story, local context, client interface), • Contributing to work-winning (decks, narratives, presentations, bids), • Supporting wider masterplanning / large-scale residential thinking when needed Initial focus is front-end design for the next 6-9 months, with a genuine route to seeing projects through to completion. And if you perform? Within a year, you could be leading your own £10m+ scheme with director support. Why this is different • Real authorship - no “house style”, no rinse-and-repeat output, • Early client exposure - you’ll be in the room, not hidden behind layers, • Work-winning experience - learn how a practice grows, not just how it delivers, • Fast progression - autonomy and responsibility increase quickly if you want it, • Part 3 support - mentorship + financial support available Who we’re looking for You’re likely: • An Experienced RIBA Part 2 or Recently Qualified Architect, • With London-based multi-unit residential experience (mid–high rise preferred), • Comfortable with layouts / unit planning, and confident producing strong presentation packs, • Familiar with (or excited by) the realities of residential design: regs awareness, typical constraints, rational planning, • Entrepreneurial in mindset - you want more than being a cog in a machine, • Software: Revit desirable (but training/support available for the right person), plus SketchUp, • (AI image generation experience is a plus), • At least 2 years of experience working in a UK/London-based practice Package • £30,000 - £40,000 + highly competitive bonus, • Energetic team and strong social culture, • A long list of extensive benefits (shared with successful applicants) How to apply Send your CV to Grõ Careers via the apply button. Shortlisted applicants will be asked to share a portfolio. Further details are shared only at the post-discovery stage. If you’re the kind of designer who wants ownership, client exposure, and momentum - this is one of the rare roles at this level that genuinely delivers it.
