The client is a legacy consultancy based in central London looking to hire a Project Manager. Candidates may come from either an architectural background or a pure project-management background.
This opportunity carries significant responsibility, supporting senior leadership in project coordination, liaising with external design studios, consultants, and internal teams, and overseeing the day-to-day direction of multiple super-prime and prime residential projects. Typical construction values range from £1–£50 million. The role is pivotal in ensuring smooth project delivery while supporting the firms long-term growth and strategic objectives.
A key aspect of the position is balancing close daily liaison with UHNWIs with strong process, structure, administration, and project management.
This is a strategic, client-facing role focused on coordinating and managing multidisciplinary teams, guiding projects from pre-feasibility through design and delivery, and ensuring alignment with client expectations throughout.
This is an opportunity to step into a client-side project leadership role. It’s a move that takes architects away from the drawing board and into a more organisational, commercial, and facilitation-focused position.

* Track and manage projects from initial client engagement through launch and day-to-day oversight.
* Develop and analyse briefs for client and project needs as part of team assembly.

* Coordinate diaries, briefings, and meetings between architects/designers and clients.
* Prepare proposals, presentation documents, and reports alongside senior client leadership.
* Log minutes and action points from client, partner, and project team meetings.
* Conduct pre-purchase appraisals and provide strategic input on project feasibility.
* Lead client-facing activities including presentations, pitching, and design discussions.
* Assist in selecting and appointing world-class designers, consultants, and design partners.
Qualifications & Experience:
* ARB/RIBA qualified architect or extensive experience in architecture, project management, or client-side coordination for high-end residential projects.
* Proven ability to manage multiple projects, teams, and budgets while maintaining high standards of design quality and client satisfaction.
* Strong stakeholder management, communication, and organisational skills.
* Demonstrable experience dealing with UHWNIs and HWNIs
* Track record of managing projects in London and home counties
