Every great director needs a brilliant PA orchestrating everything behind the scenes.
Who We Are
Architecture Social is a specialist recruitment consultancy working with architecture practices, design studios, and built environment firms across the UK. We are regularly briefed on PA and executive support roles by managing directors and founding partners who need trusted professionals to manage their demanding schedules. When these confidential roles arise, we approach candidates we already know and trust.
What Our Clients Typically Ask For
• Minimum four years of PA experience supporting senior executives, directors, or partners
• Expert diary management — coordinating client meetings, consultant sessions, local authority engagements, and internal reviews
• Ability to prepare briefing notes, board papers, and supporting documents ahead of engagements
• Travel coordination including international trips for competitions, client presentations, and conferences
• Confident communication management — screening correspondence, drafting responses, and acting as gatekeeper
• Absolute discretion with sensitive commercial, personnel, and strategic matters
• Calm, composed, and efficient under pressure in high-profile environments
If your organisational brilliance and discretion keep directors operating at their best, we want to hear from you.
