This is a rare opportunity to join a high-quality consultancy at a genuinely formative point in your career. The business operates at the intersection of architecture, development and strategic advisory and they're now looking for an Associate who wants more than just a title change. This role is about building a long-term career, with a clear and realistic pathway through to Director level.
The Role
You'll work closely with senior leadership across a range of advisory and delivery-focused projects, supporting clients from early feasibility through to delivery strategy. This is not a back-office Associate position - you'll be exposed to clients early, trusted with responsibility, and encouraged to shape both projects and the wider business.
Key responsibilities include:
Leading and supporting workstreams on mixed-use, residential and commercial projects
Contributing to development appraisals, feasibility studies and strategic advice
Preparing high-quality reports and client presentations
Attending and increasingly leading client meetings
Playing an active role in mentoring junior staff as the team grows
Supporting fee proposals, bid submissions and client pitches
Work Winning & Business Development

You will be involved in:
Assisting with bids, proposals and presentations
Building relationships with existing and new clients
Identifying opportunities within live projects and networks
Supporting Partners in developing new service lines and markets
You'll be expected to take ownership of client relationships and contribute meaningfully to revenue generation, a key part of the journey to Director.
The Opportunity
This is where this role really stands out.
You'll be offered:
A defined progression route from Associate to Director
Direct access to Partners and senior decision-makers
Support with technical, commercial and business development skills
