Together Design Studio is looking for an experienced Senior Architect to join our Alexandria studio in a key leadership role.

We are a small architecture and interiors practice working across considered residential, hospitality and interior projects. We design places for living, working and gathering – spaces that feel grounded, generous and enduring.

Our studio is collaborative, design-led and hands-on. We care about doing good work, resolving it thoroughly and creating an environment where people can enjoy coming to work and continue developing their skills.

About the role

This is an opportunity for an experienced architect who enjoys both leading projects and helping others deliver them well.

You will lead selected architectural and interior projects while providing senior technical and project delivery support across the studio. You will work closely with the Director and act as a key point of guidance for our Project Architects, Designers and Graduates.

The role combines project leadership, technical oversight, mentoring, client management and involvement in the day-to-day operation of the studio.

You will:

• Lead selected projects through design, documentation and construction
• Provide senior technical and quality assurance oversight across the studio
• Review documentation, specifications and technical resolution prior to issue
• Support project teams with complex technical, consultant, client and construction matters
• Mentor and develop less experienced team members
• Maintain strong relationships with clients, consultants and builders
• Contribute to WIP, project resourcing, programmes and commercial oversight
• Help us continue improving our technical standards, systems and ways of working

The Director will continue to lead overall design direction, key client relationships, new business and practice strategy, with the Senior Architect taking increasing ownership of project delivery and technical leadership across the studio.

About you

We are looking for someone who is technically strong, calm and confident, with the judgement to make decisions independently and the generosity to help others develop.

Ideally, you will have:

• Registration as an Architect in Australia and approximately 8+ years’ post-graduate experience
• Strong residential experience, ideally including high-end residential and interiors
• Experience leading projects through design, documentation and construction
• Strong technical knowledge of construction, detailing and architectural documentation
• Experience coordinating consultants and reviewing the work of others
• Confidence working directly with clients, consultants and builders
• An interest in mentoring and developing less experienced team members
• A collaborative, hands-on approach to practice
• Proficiency in architectural design and documentation software, with Revit experience desirable

You don’t need to be equally strong in every area. We are particularly interested in architects with strong technical and project leadership skills, good design judgement and the potential to grow into broader studio leadership.

Why Together?

Together is at a stage where the right person can have a meaningful influence on the future of the practice.

You will join an established but growing studio, working closely with the Director and a talented team. You will have the opportunity to influence how we deliver projects, develop our team and continue building the practice.

We offer:

• A genuine senior role with meaningful responsibility and autonomy
• Direct involvement in high-quality, design-led residential and interior projects
• The opportunity to remain hands-on with architecture and design while developing broader leadership experience
• A collaborative studio environment where ideas and initiative are valued
• The opportunity to mentor and help shape a talented team
• Direct involvement in how the studio evolves
• A pathway towards Studio Lead / Principal for the right person

We value considered design, working together, care and optimism. We are looking for someone who shares those values and wants to play a meaningful role in the next stage of Together Design Studio.
