Own the bid strategy for firms that work across disciplines — leading the submissions that win commissions spanning engineering, architecture, and the wider built environment.

Who We Are
Architecture Social is a specialist recruitment consultancy connecting senior bid and business development professionals with multi-disciplinary practices across the UK. We work with firms that combine architecture, engineering, planning, and project management under one roof — and these firms need experienced Bid Managers who can navigate complex, cross-discipline submissions.

– Proven experience managing bids across multi-disciplinary or integrated consultancies
– Ability to lead complex, multi-service submissions that coordinate input from architecture, engineering, and specialist disciplines
– Strategic thinking with a strong track record of developing win themes, pricing strategies, and differentiation approaches
– Confident editorial skills for shaping proposal narratives that showcase integrated design capability
– Experience with RIBA competitions, public frameworks, developer appointments, and negotiated tenders
– Proficiency in bid management platforms, InDesign, Word, PowerPoint, and CRM tools
