Job Description

JA Projects is looking for a Studio Administrator to join our growing team.

The ideal candidate will have experience working in a start-up environment, with a strong interest in supporting an emerging practice to do meaningful work and grow in size and reputation.

Founded by Jayden Ali, JA Projects is a London-based practice working at the intersection of architecture, urban strategy, art, and performance in the UK and internationally. Currently, our studio is working on several high-profile projects across the arts, housing, community infrastructure and public realm. These projects range in scale, from masterplanning and the design of urban blocks, to rethinking cultural institutions, artistic commissions and research.

We’re interested in doing things differently, and over the past 5 years, the nature of the studio has evolved as we’ve grown in reputation and in size. The role of studio administrator has also evolved similarly. As we head into our next chapter, we’re looking for someone who can make sure we have efficient operational foundations and the nimbleness to navigate a changing landscape. We’re looking for someone who wants to be part of an exciting journey. We’d love to hear from anyone who thinks this is for them, but please be mindful of the essential skills and experience listed below

JA Projects is an equal opportunities employer; as such, we especially welcome applicants of colour and those from traditionally under-represented backgrounds.
