The Role

• Lead the Industrial & Logistics sector at strategic and commercial level
• Take senior ownership of a long standing, highly profitable key client
• Drive new business and secure major UK and European commissions
• Define and deliver a clear growth plan for the sector
• Oversee sector revenue and performance
• Build and grow a dedicated industrial team
• Maintain quality while ensuring commercial rigour
• Contribute to wider studio leadership

About You

• Director level Architect with strong industrial / logistics experience
• Proven track record of winning and growing client accounts
• Comfortable operating at board and executive level
• Commercially aware and delivery focused
• Experienced leading and scaling teams
• Looking for ownership, not just oversight

Why Join?

• Lead, grow and shape a strategically important sector
• Operate with real influence within the London studio
