The studio runs on more than great design — it runs on great operations.

Who We Are
Architecture Social is a specialist recruitment consultancy working closely with interior design agencies, hospitality studios, and workplace design practices across the UK. We are regularly briefed on operations management roles by studios that need commercially minded professionals to drive efficiency behind the scenes. When our clients are ready to hire, we already have exceptional candidates in mind.

What Our Clients Typically Ask For
• Proven experience managing non-design operations within a creative or design-led agency
• Financial oversight skills including P&L management, project margin tracking, and cash flow monitoring
• Ability to develop and maintain project management frameworks and procurement procedures
• Experience managing freelance and consultant pools — onboarding, rate negotiation, and performance evaluation
• Resource planning capability with real-time utilisation dashboards and fee tracking systems
• Strong interpersonal skills to build relationships across creative, commercial, and support teams
• Background in operational change management within design, architecture, or creative industries

If your talent lies in making creative businesses run brilliantly, we want to hear from you.

Why Register With Architecture Social
Registering with us means you are introduced to operations roles at studios and agencies before they are publicly advertised. We take time to understand how you work, what kind of creative environment suits you, and where your commercial skills will be most valued. Our approach is confidential and tailored — we treat every candidate as an individual, not a number on a database. When the right opportunity surfaces at a studio that matches your ambitions, we will be in touch immediately.

How to Apply
Send us your CV and a brief overview of your operations experience. We will arrange a confidential conversation to understand your background and preferences, and will contact you personally as soon as the ideal opportunity arises.
