Senior Appointments
Associate, director and partner-level moves in architecture. How senior appointments really happen, and who is hiring.
Knowledge
Working at senior level.
Senior appointments are the leadership tier of the industry: associates, directors, partners and heads of department. The rules change at this level, because practices are buying judgement, leadership and a following as much as skill.
Most senior moves never reach an advert. They happen through networks, quiet conversations and executive search, and the candidates who move well have usually spent years making their work and reputation visible. Preparation, not luck, is what gets you headhunted.
This hub gathers the live picture for senior roles: who is hiring at leadership level, which practices are building their top teams, and the conversations shaping senior careers right now.
- Networks decide
At associate level and above, reputation and relationships move you more than applications do.
- You are hired for a following
Practices hire seniors for what follows them: clients, teams, fees and judgement.
- The market is discreet
Senior moves are often handled quietly through search, long before any advert appears.
