Software: Revit essential | Rhino a plus

We’re partnering with a respected interior architecture studio in London to find a technically-minded Associate Director—someone who knows how to get high-spec commercial interiors delivered on time, on budget, and with serious finesse.

Who This Role Is For:

• A senior-level Interior Designer or Architect with extensive experience delivering large commercial and mixed-use interior schemes
• Someone who thrives on the technical nuts and bolts of interior architecture, from detailed drawings to on-site problem solving
• A confident client lead who’s guided complex projects from design development through to handover
• A calm head who can juggle deadlines, manage teams, and still spot the detail no one else sees

Who It’s Not For:

• Designers focused purely on concept with limited delivery experience
• Portfolios focused solely on high-end residential
• Architects looking to “try out” interiors without solid commercial fit-out experience

What You'll Be Doing:

• Lead technical delivery across large-scale interiors projects, especially from RIBA Stage 3 onwards
• Own the process—coordinating with clients, consultants, contractors, and internal teams
• Develop and review technical drawing packages in Revit
• Provide on-site support and coordination through to final handover
• Mentor junior designers and contribute to broader studio operations
• Support resourcing, budgeting, and pipeline planning with the senior team

What You’ll Need:

• A degree in Interior Design, Interior Architecture, or Architecture
• Proven experience delivering commercial workplace, retail, or developer-led interiors
• Deep understanding of building regs, fit-out methods, and technical detailing
• Revit proficiency is essential; Rhino, SketchUp, AutoCAD a bonus
• Strong leadership and communication skills

What’s On Offer:

• £60,000–£70,000 base salary (dependent on experience)
• Hybrid working (3 studio days / 2 from home)
• Clear progression path toward Director-level
• A respected, collaborative team with a real dedication to quality delivery
