Keep architecture practices winning — coordinating the bids, competitions, and framework submissions that fill studio order books.
Who We Are
Architecture Social is a specialist recruitment consultancy connecting bid and business development professionals with architecture practices across the UK. We work with studios ranging from design-led boutiques to large multi-disciplinary firms — all of which depend on organised, detail-oriented Bid Coordinators to manage their growing submission programmes. Through close relationships with practice principals and BD directors, we maintain active shortlists so that when a Bid Coordinator role opens in an architecture practice, your profile is already being reviewed.
What Our Clients Typically Ask For
– Experience coordinating bid and competition submissions in an architecture or design practice
– Ability to manage multiple concurrent submissions with differing requirements and deadlines
– Strong InDesign skills for producing visually polished proposal and competition documents
– Confident writing and editing skills for quality-controlling design narratives, CVs, and methodology statements
– Experience with RIBA competition processes, design quality assessments, and public-sector procurement
– Organisational skills for maintaining bid calendars, go/no-go registers, and submission tracking systems
– A collaborative mindset with the ability to extract content from busy architects and project leaders
If you combine creative flair with process discipline and thrive on the pace of competitive bidding, we want to hear from you.
Why Register With Architecture Social
Registering gives you early visibility on Bid Coordinator roles at architecture practices with active pipelines and growing BD teams.

You will also receive honest advice on which studios value BD most, current market rates, and where the best long-term opportunities sit for bid professionals in architecture.
