Who We Are
Architecture Social is a recruitment partner and professional community serving architecture practices, multi-disciplinary consultants, developers and PropTech scale-ups. Across this network our clients trust a Head of IT to knit together cloud services, on-prem hardware, cyber-security and end-user support—keeping designers productive and directors confident. They brief us long before vacancies appear online, so we maintain an active shortlist of forward-thinking technology leaders ready to step in.
What our clients typically ask for
10+ years’ IT leadership in design, construction, professional-services or SaaS environments, including budget and team management
Hybrid-estate expertise—Azure or AWS tenancy design, resilient campus networking, Wi-Fi optimisation and secure remote-access solutions for global teams
Application portfolio insight: Autodesk/Bentley suites, Adobe CC, Deltek Ajera or ERP, CDE platforms (BIM 360, Asite, Aconex) and identity governance across them all
Security & compliance leadership—ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, MFA roll-out, incident response playbooks and user-awareness programmes
DevOps / automation mindset—PowerShell, Terraform or scripting that removes friction from device provisioning, patching and licence management
People-first communication—translating roadmap decisions into plain language for directors while inspiring help-desk teams to deliver white-glove support
