You will know the clients, the frameworks, and the ecosystem Able to commit to regular office attendance alongside flexible working (typically 2-3 days in-office) Security Clearance Ability to obtain security clearance is advantageous given the studio's involvement in defence and secure government work Why This Role? The studio has momentum, resource, and genuine backing from the wider business. You'll have the support of a regional practice manager, monthly senior leadership forums, and weekly cross-office resourcing calls to balance capacity. This isn't a lone-wolf brief. You will be part of a collaborative, integrated structure. The business takes a long-term view on talent. They'd rather wait for the right person than compromise. If you're a well-connected, commercially minded architectural leader with deep roots in the Midlands and the ambition to build something significant, this is the opportunity.
