Anticipate needs, streamline schedules and give leadership the head-space to create.
Who We Are
Architecture Social is a recruitment partner and professional community for architects, designers—and the operational experts who keep studios humming. Our practice clients rely on Executive Assistants to protect directors’ time, orchestrate admin across projects and act as the discreet point of contact for high-profile clients. They brief us well before a role goes public, so we keep an active shortlist of sharp, unflappable EAs ready to step in.
What our clients typically ask for
3–6 years’ C-suite or board-level support experience, ideally within architecture, design, property or another fast-paced creative sector
Mastery of complex diary and travel management, meeting preparation, minute-taking and follow-up across multiple time zones
Confident document skills—polishing fee proposals, PowerPoint decks and confidential reports with zero typos
Fluency in Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, plus a knack for learning studio platforms (Deltek, Rapport3, Slack, Trello)
Discretion, diplomacy and a client-service mindset—able to juggle priorities and guard sensitive information without fuss
Bonus points for events coordination, basic bookkeeping or bid-submission support
