Designer

  • Location London, UK
  • Job Type Full Time

SOM has an opportunity for a designer to join its team in London.

SOM London is looking for a hands-on front-end designer with over six years’ experience and a clear record of leading the design of large, complex projects from initiation to schematic design. A CV and portfolio demonstrating individual design authorship are mandatory.

The role is focused on originating strong architectural ideas, developing them with clarity and leading teams with cadence. It requires someone who remains directly engaged in the work, combining design authorship with the ability to guide clients, collaborators and interdisciplinary teams.

The role:

  • lead large, complex projects from first principles through schematic design
  • generate, test and communicate compelling architectural ideas
  • build clear design narratives that connect concept, context, programme and experience
  • shape presentations with a strong editorial eye, clear visual hierarchy and persuasive storytelling
  • direct teams through concept and schematic design development
  • translate design ambition into coherent spatial, structural and material strategies
  • work closely with clients, consultants and SOM’s global studios
  • mentor designers and strengthen the studio’s culture of design authorship

Experience:

  • at least six years’ experience leading design, not only project delivery
  • a clear record of originating and developing architectural concepts through schematic design
  • strong judgement across form, programme, structure, material and context
  • the ability to turn complex ideas into clear narratives and well-crafted presentations
  • experience presenting design ideas to senior clients and collaborators
  • the ability to guide teams while remaining hands-on in the design process
  • professional registration is preferred

Portfolio

A portfolio and CV are mandatory.

The portfolio should clearly identify individual contributions and show the design process through sketches, diagrams, models, iterations, presentations and concept development through schematic design.

Final renders or completed project photography alone will not provide sufficient evidence of design authorship.

Why SOM London

SOM London is a design-led studio working across disciplines, cultures and project types. We are inter-disciplinary and work independently in the UK, Europe, India and the Middle East. The role offers the opportunity to join a thriving studio with a rich culture, shape major projects, working with leading architects and engineers and build a distinct design voice within a global practice.

At SOM, we welcome and encourage diversity in the workplace. We believe an inclusive environment benefits our employees, our firm, and our community, while also enriching and challenging our own thinking about design. We are proud to be an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer.
