Help architecture practices win the work that keeps studios busy — supporting the bids, proposals, and expressions of interest that turn pipeline into projects.

Who We Are
Architecture Social is a specialist recruitment consultancy connecting business development and bid professionals with architecture and design practices across the UK. We partner with studios of all sizes — from award-winning boutiques to large multi-disciplinary firms — and many of them depend on organised, articulate Bid Assistants to keep their competition and tender submissions on track. Through close relationships with practice leaders and ongoing market engagement, we maintain active shortlists so that when a Bid Assistant role opens, your name is already in the frame.

What Our Clients Typically Ask For
– Experience supporting bid and tender submissions in an architecture, construction, or consultancy environment
– Strong writing and editing skills with the ability to tailor proposal narratives to different client audiences
– Proficiency in InDesign, PowerPoint, and Word for producing visually polished submission documents
– Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple deadlines across concurrent bids
– Experience maintaining bid libraries, case study databases, CVs, and image archives
– Understanding of public-sector procurement frameworks, PQQs, ITTs, and evaluation criteria
– A collaborative mindset with the ability to chase input from busy project teams under tight timescales

If you are organised, persuasive on paper, and energised by the pace of competitive bidding, we want to hear from you.

Why Register With Architecture Social

You will also receive candid advice on which practices value their BD function most highly, what salary levels look like for your experience, and where the strongest career progression exists in this space.
