HEAD OF DESIGN / SENIOR PROJECT ARCHITECT £50,000 - £70,000 plus performance bonus (Title flexible for the right person) Most architectural roles keep you in a defined lane. You contribute, but rarely lead. You design, but don’t always influence the bigger picture. This is not one of them. At Acre Design, you will play a leading role in shaping bespoke residential projects. You will be involved from the earliest conversations, helping define design direction, guiding clients, and supporting the team to deliver strong outcomes. You will take ownership of key projects, while also mentoring and supporting others across the studio. This is about leading design, influencing decisions, and driving projects forward, not just working in isolation. This role is for someone who is equally creative and driven. Someone who enjoys design, but also wants more influence, more responsibility, and a bigger role in how projects and the business perform. It suits someone ready to step up. Someone who does not just want to be an architect, but wants to help lead projects, support a team, and grow into a senior position with real impact.

From first conversation through planning, technical design and construction support, we guide clients through the entire process with clarity and confidence. We are growing and building a team that can deliver exceptional work without constant oversight. THE ROLE This is a senior, client-facing leadership role focused on design direction, project oversight, and team support. You will lead key projects directly, while also mentoring project leads and guiding work across the studio. You will work closely with clients, shape design outcomes, and ensure projects move forward with clarity and confidence. This role sits between design leadership, client relationship, and business performance. It is for someone ready to step up and take responsibility beyond their own projects. WHAT YOU WILL DO • Lead design direction across multiple projects, not just your own, • Develop and test creative options, not just single solutions, • Mentor and support project leads, stepping in where needed to guide direction and resolve issues, • Build strong relationships with clients and guide them through key decisions, • Run key projects independently and make clear, confident decisions, • Act as the main point of contact for clients and create a high-quality experience, • Identify and resolve issues early, including managing more complex or sensitive situations, • Liaise with planning officers and navigate approvals proactively, • Keep projects moving and maintain momentum across all stages WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR • Strong experience delivering UK residential projects such as extensions or one-off homes, • Excellent understanding of planning policy, • A natural communicator who builds trust quickly and handles conversations with ease, • A strong design instinct and ability to explore ideas, not just deliver solutions, • Confidence leading projects, people, and conversations, • Decisive and proactive, comfortable taking ownership and making calls, • Commercial awareness and interest in how projects and the business perform, • Comfortable managing a small team and taking responsibility for outcomes WHAT THIS IS NOT • Not for someone who finds it difficult to lead conversations or take control of meetings, • Not a back-office role producing drawings all day, • Not a role where you wait for instructions or constant sign-off, • Not for someone who avoids responsibility for decisions or team direction THE TYPE OF PERSON WHO THRIVES HERE • Enjoys leading both design and people, • Takes ownership and drives projects forward, • Builds trust and long-term relationships with clients, • Makes decisions confidently and stands behind them, • Balances creativity with commercial awareness, • Spots problems early and deals with them directly, • Wants a senior role with real responsibility and influence WHY JOIN ACRE • High level of autonomy and ownership, • Strong pipeline of high-quality residential projects, • Support from an in-house technical team with advanced Revit capability, • Clear processes without unnecessary meetings or micromanagement, • Performance-related pay alongside a strong base salary, • Genuine opportunity to grow into a senior leadership role

Senior CI/CD Platform / Software Engineer (GitHub Actions & TypeScript) Fully Remote (UK only), Outside IR35 We are supporting a major enterprise-scale cloud transformation programme and are seeking a Senior CI/CD Platform Engineer (GitHub Actions & TypeScript) to join a high-performing engineering environment. This role sits at the centre of a large-scale migration from Microsoft Azure to Google Cloud Platform. While existing teams focus on the migration, you will take ownership of designing and building a scalable, enterprise-grade CI/CD platform. This is not a typical DevOps role. We are looking for a software engineer who specialises in CI/CD systems, someone who has gone beyond assembling pipelines and has experience building custom GitHub Actions, reusable frameworks, and internal tooling in TypeScript. You will treat CI/CD as a product, enabling hundreds of engineers to deliver software safely, consistently, and at scale. Key Responsibilities • Design and build a scalable CI/CD platform using GitHub Actions as a core technology, • Develop custom GitHub Actions in TypeScript, including packaging, versioning, and internal distribution, • Create reusable workflows, abstractions, and tooling to standardise delivery across teams, • Define and enforce best practices for build, test, release, and deployment automation, • Decouple pipelines from cloud-specific implementations to support ongoing migration and future flexibility, • Improve developer experience through self-service CI/CD capabilities and internal tooling, • Identify bottlenecks in existing pipelines and re-architect for performance, reliability, and scalability, • Embed security, compliance, and governance into pipeline design (e.g. secrets, permissions, OIDC), • Collaborate with platform, cloud, and application teams to drive adoption of the CI/CD platform, • Mentor engineers and elevate CI/CD maturity across the organisation Required Skills & Experience • Strong software engineering background with significant experience in TypeScript / Node.js, • Deep, hands-on expertise with GitHub Actions beyond basic usage, including:, • Building and maintaining custom actions in TypeScript, • Designing reusable workflows and internal CI/CD frameworks, • Managing action versioning, distribution, and lifecycle in an enterprise setting, • Proven experience designing scalable CI/CD systems, not just implementing pipelines, • Experience building internal developer tooling or platforms, • Strong understanding of modern software delivery practices (testing, release strategies, automation), • Experience working in complex, large-scale engineering environments, • Ability to operate as a technical authority, influencing architecture and engineering standards Nice to Have • Experience with Google Cloud Platform and/or Microsoft Azure, • Exposure to large-scale cloud migration or transformation programmes, • Experience with containerised environments (Docker, Kubernetes), • Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Pulumi, etc.), • Background in internal developer platforms (IDPs) or platform engineering teams, • Experience in large, complex enterprise environments What You’ll Be Doing You’ll be building the next-generation CI/CD platform for a global enterprise, moving away from fragmented, legacy pipelines towards a standardised, extensible, and developer-friendly system. Rather than stitching together existing tools, you will engineer reusable, production-grade CI/CD components that scale across hundreds of repositories and teams. Why Apply? This is a rare opportunity to operate at the intersection of software engineering and platform design, with real ownership over how CI/CD is built and used at scale. You’ll have the chance to: • Build a CI/CD platform as a first-class engineering product, • Influence engineering practices across a large global organisation, • Work on a high-impact cloud transformation programme, • Solve complex, non-trivial problems that go far beyond standard DevOps work

The Role The Principal AI Architect sits at the core of delivery, acting as the bridge between business ambition and technical execution. This role is responsible for designing end-to-end AI and data solutions that are scalable, secure, and commercially viable. It combines deep hands-on technical expertise with client-facing leadership—translating complex business challenges into clear architectural solutions while ensuring there is no gap between what is sold and what is delivered. Beyond project work, the role shapes engineering standards, drives technical quality, and builds reusable assets that enable consistent, high-quality delivery across multiple engagements. The Brand It is a fast-growing, hands-on AI consultancy focused on practical, real-world impact. Unlike large, slow-moving firms, they operate with agility—working closely with clients to design, build, and deploy AI solutions that deliver measurable outcomes. The company positions itself at the intersection of strategy and execution, helping organisations not just understand AI, but actually implement it effectively. With a strong emphasis on collaboration, innovation, and technical excellence, Ignite is building a reputation as a trusted partner for businesses looking to unlock value from AI in a pragmatic and commercially grounded way. The Person The ideal candidate is a technically exceptional architect who is equally comfortable in front of a whiteboard, in a client workshop, or inside the code. They bring deep experience across AI, data platforms, cloud, and modern architecture patterns, but more importantly, they know how to apply that knowledge pragmatically to solve real business problems. They are commercially aware, able to shape solutions during pre-sales, and confident engaging senior stakeholders. As a leader, they influence through expertise rather than hierarchy—guiding teams, setting standards, and elevating delivery quality. Curious, hands-on, and outcome-driven, they thrive in fast-paced environments where they can both design and build, while helping organisations turn AI ambition into tangible results.
