Business Development Manager, Architects Studio

An award-winning design led architecture studio in central London is looking for a Business Development Manager to help grow their client base and profile.

You’ll lead new business opportunities, build and maintain client relationships, and work closely with their directors and design teams to turn relationships into meaningful projects. This role suits someone who understands the built environment, enjoys strategic networking, and can turn conversations into long-term partnerships.

The role is about instinct as much as strategy: knowing where the right work is, who they should be talking to, and how to position the studio so they win projects they actually want to do.

What you’ll do

• Identify and pursue new business opportunities

• Opening doors and building lasting relationships

• Manage bids, proposals, and client presentations

• Build strong relationships with clients, consultants, and stakeholders

• Championing the studio externally

About you

• Experience in business development (architecture, design, or the built environment preferred)

• Confident communicator with strong commercial instincts

• A natural connector, persuasive and comfortable owning the room

• Equally happy networking, writing and shaping growth strategy

• Organised, proactive, and relationship-driven

You’ll work with a collaborative, forward thinking team on exciting projects and have real influence over where the studio goes next.

At Fourteen People, we are committed to offering equal opportunities to all candidates regardless of race, religion, gender, sexuality, disability, age or any other protected characteristics. We understand there is still much to be done as we partner with our clients to create and improve robust recruitment processes that will improve diversity equity and inclusion in the workplace. xekaoyc
