About the Company
Locri is an independent recruitment consultancy that partners with ambitious people and businesses across the built and natural environment. We work closely with architecture practices, design studios, planning consultancies, and environmental specialists to help them grow their teams and shape the future of the spaces we live, work and build in.
We’re not a corporate machine. We’re a small, values-led company with a simple aim: Good People. That means long-term relationships, sector insight, and a flexible model that supports the lives we want to build, for ourselves and for our clients.
About the Role
We’re now looking for a new consultant to join our Architecture & Design Pod, focusing on roles across Architecture & Design in the UK.
This is one of our most established desks, with strong brand visibility, trusted client relationships, and a constant flow of new project demand. You’ll have the opportunity to plug into live briefs and an active candidate network from day one, but you’ll also have the freedom to shape the desk around your own approach and interests.
You might be a qualified architect or designer looking to pivot into a people-focused career, or someone already in recruitment who’s excited about working in a more flexible, entrepreneurial way. What matters is that you’re proactive, personable, and genuinely interested in the built environment.
You’ll work closely with the Locri team to:
* Build and nurture a network of design professionals across your specialist area
* Develop and maintain relationships with studios and clients, from boutique firms to global practices
* Manage the full recruitment process from first contact through to offer and onboarding
* Contribute to Locri’s brand through market insight, social content, and thought leadership
* Collaborate with a supportive, experienced team while building your own high-performing desk
Our model is simple: you keep 80% of what you bill. There’s no base salary, but there is real flexibility, full support, and strong earning potential for someone ready to build something meaningful.
About You
We’re looking for someone who is:
* Curious, personable, and passionate about people
* Confident engaging with senior-level professionals in the design world
* Organised, self-directed, and consistent — especially during the early build-up phase
* Resilient and motivated by long-term success rather than instant wins
* Interested in architecture, interiors, or the design of cities and spaces
* Excited about the potential of a high-earning, flexible model — and clear-eyed about what it takes to make it work
What We Offer
* Uncapped earnings – you keep 80% of what you bill, with no thresholds or caps
* Tailored training and support – external coaching, in-house mentoring, and support from experienced consultants
* Autonomy with backup – the freedom to work your way, with the backing of people who’ve done it before
* An inspiring market – work at the intersection of architecture, interiors, urban design, and innovation
* A people-first culture – no micromanagement, no rigid KPIs, just a genuine commitment to quality, trust, and personal growth
If this sounds like it could be the right move for you, we’d love to talk. Reach out for an informal, 100% confidential conversation and let’s explore what we could build together.
