Bespoke Careers • Full-time • Chicago, IL • 1w ago

Senior Architect / Studio Lead

Los Angeles, CA

An established, design-led architecture practice is seeking a Senior Architect to help grow and shape its presence in Los Angeles.

This is a rare opportunity to join a highly respected studio at an early stage of its West Coast expansion. Rather than stepping into an established office structure, you'll play a key role in building the studio's future while working on thoughtfully designed residential projects with a collaborative and experienced team.

The role offers a high degree of flexibility, with a hybrid working model combining remote work, project site visits, and regular time spent with colleagues in both Los Angeles and the firm's established studio.

The Opportunity

Working directly with the firm's leadership team, you will contribute to the design and delivery of projects while helping establish systems, culture, and processes as the Los Angeles operation grows.

This position is ideal for someone who enjoys autonomy, takes ownership of their work, and is excited by the prospect of helping build a studio over the long term.

As the office develops, there will be opportunities to take on increasing leadership responsibilities, including mentoring staff, managing projects, and contributing to strategic growth.

About You

Licensed Architect preferred
Strong design sensibility with excellent technical skills
Experience leading projects through all phases
Residential experience, particularly custom or high-end residential projects
Strong client-facing and communication abilities
Comfortable working independently while collaborating closely with a wider team
Revit proficiency required
Interested in helping shape and grow a studio environment

Why Apply?

Opportunity to be part of a long-term studio expansion
Clear pathway toward leadership
High level of autonomy and influence
Collaborative, design-focused culture
Flexible hybrid working arrangement
Work directly alongside principals and senior leadership

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious architect seeking more than just their next project—someone looking to help build a studio, a team, and a lasting presence in Los Angeles.
