Award-winning London architecture studio seeks an experienced Bids Coordinator with strong copy-writing skills.
Our client is an award-winning architecture and design studio with a long-standing reputation for quality, sustainability and creative excellence. Working across a diverse range of sectors — from workplace and hospitality to residential and heritage — they have built an enviable track record and a loyal client base. With a collegiate, people-first culture and a growing multi-studio presence, this is a practice with genuine ambition and a great environment in which to develop your career.
They are now looking for a Bids & Marketing Coordinator to join their small, close-knit Marketing, Bids, Graphics and Branding team on a permanent basis, available to start as soon as possible.
This is a hands-on, fast-paced role at the heart of the practice’s growth activity. You will manage and drive pre-qualification and tender submissions from start to finish, producing compelling, well-crafted documents that communicate the studio’s expertise, experience and values. Our client typically runs around five submissions per month, with two or three active simultaneously and a standard turnaround of a couple of weeks — though last-minute requests do arise. The ability to stay calm, organised and focused under pressure is therefore essential.
You will work closely with architects, directors and project teams to gather content, shape narratives and deliver polished submissions on time. The variety of typologies the practice works across means the role is genuinely varied and engaging.
We are looking for a proactive bid professional with strong copywriting skills and a proven ability to manage multiple submissions simultaneously. You’ll be comfortable working in a small team, liaising with senior stakeholders, and turning complex information into clear, persuasive copy.
If you have strong bids experience, excellent writing skills and are looking for your next move within a creative, design-led environment, we’d love to hear from you. Please get in touch with your CV and a brief note on your bids background.
Award-winning interior design consultancy seeks a strategic, digitally-savvy Marketing Manager
This is a rare opportunity to join a multi-award-winning interior design consultancy whose work spans some of the world's most celebrated hospitality and hotel projects. With a portfolio that includes iconic restaurants, luxury hotel spaces, and globally recognised brand environments — from intimate London dining rooms to five-star resorts — the studio is known for creating spaces that are as commercially astute as they are visually extraordinary.
A tight-knit team of around ten, the studio punches well above its weight. With three directors at the helm and an enviable client list that reads like a who's who of the hospitality world, the business is now embarking on a period of further growth — and marketing is central to that ambition.
We are looking for a part-time (4 days per week) Marketing Manager to lead bold, multi-channel marketing — from shaping the annual strategy and growing client relationships, to securing press wins and amplifying the studio's presence in the luxury hospitality world. This is a newly created, standalone position reporting to the Brand Director, with real autonomy to build the function from scratch and — in time — potentially grow a team around you.
The central challenge is an interesting one: while the studio's F&B reputation is well established, its capabilities stretch far beyond restaurants. Your role will be to broaden that narrative - repositioning the brand in the minds of existing and prospective clients to reflect the full breadth of what the studio offers, from hotel communal spaces to arts venues and retail environments.
