Lead the tools, systems, and workflows that power how studios design — bridging technology strategy with day-to-day practice operations.

Who We Are
Architecture Social is a specialist recruitment consultancy connecting design technology leaders with architecture, engineering, and construction practices across the UK. Our clients include award-winning studios, international consultancies, and developer-side design teams — all of whom are investing in the technology infrastructure that supports their design output. We are regularly briefed on Design Technology Lead roles, and registering speculatively ensures you are among the first candidates we present.

What Our Clients Typically Ask For
• Experience leading BIM strategy, software deployment, and computational design tools across architecture or engineering practices
• Proficiency with Revit, Rhino, Grasshopper, Dynamo, and emerging platforms such as Hypar, Speckle, or custom APIs
• Ability to develop and maintain practice-wide technology standards, templates, and automation workflows
• Strong programming skills (Python, C#, or JavaScript) for tool development and integration
• Experience training and mentoring design teams in computational and digital workflows
• Understanding of data management, interoperability, and common data environments
• Strategic vision for how technology can improve design quality, efficiency, and collaboration

If your technology leadership transforms how design practices work, think, and deliver, we want to hear from you.
