Our platform helps AECO professionals - architects, engineers, contractors, and owners - streamline detail management, improve consistency, reduce errors, and accelerate project delivery.\nWe’re building the system of record for design production in a $12T+ industry that has long been underserved by modern software and workflows.\nWhy Join Pirros\nBacked by leading investors including YC, Funders Club, PlanGrid, and Elephant\n\nProfitable business with $7M+ ARR and growing 10% month-over-month\n\nClosed a $17M Series A in 2025\n\n350+ firms actively using Pirros today, including some of the top AEC firms in the country\n\n120% net revenue retention\n\nFounders come directly from the structural engineering industry\n\nCompetitive compensation package - salary, equity, unlimited PTO, and full benefits\n\nHigh-trust, high-autonomy culture with experienced builders and operators\n\nOpportunity to solve meaningful problems for the people designing the world around us\n\nAbout the Role\nThe Design Advocate is a senior, highly cross-functional role for an experienced architect who deeply understands how AEC firms actually operate. From project delivery and coordination to content standards and BIM workflows.\nThis person sits at the intersection of Product, Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success, serving as Pirros’ in-house practitioner voice and strategic bridge between Product and GTM teams. Reporting directly to the CEO, the Design Advocate ensures that product innovation translates into customer value, sales enablement, and market credibility.\nToday, one of Pirros’ biggest opportunities is improving the flow of information between R&D and GTM. Features ship without enough visibility, launches happen without polished enablement, and teams sometimes learn about changes too late. The Design Advocate is the structural fix and is embedded close enough to Product to understand what’s coming, while proactively ensuring Sales, Marketing, and CS are fully prepared before launches happen. This is not a traditional Product role or Marketing role. It is a senior individual contributor position focused on making Product, GTM, and customer-facing teams more aligned, informed, and effective.\nWhat You’ll Own\nProduct Partnership & Customer Advocacy\nEmbed in product discovery and roadmap conversations as Pirros’ in-house AEC practitioner. Pressure-test ideas against real-world workflows, identify adoption risks early, and advocate for what customers actually need\n\nMaintain visibility into upcoming launches and roadmap changes well ahead of broader GTM rollout\n\nFeed customer and field insights directly back into Product discovery. Surface what’s resonating, where users are struggling, and what competitive pressure is emerging\n\nGTM Enablement & Launch Readiness\nTranslate product updates and launches into actionable GTM enablement materials\n\nOwn pre-launch readiness checkpoints to ensure no major feature ships without appropriate positioning, enablement, communication, and internal preparedness\n\nServe as the technical and practitioner counterpart to Marketing by validating technical accuracy and strengthening messaging credibility\n\nSales & Customer Support\nAct as a technical resource for Sales. supporting strategic customer conversations, participating in complex demos, and bringing senior architect credibility when needed\n\nPartner with Customer Success to help field advanced workflow and product questions while routing valuable customer feedback back into Product and Engineering\n\nEquip GTM teams proactively with the context and workflow expertise they need before issues arise in active deals\n\nIndustry Leadership & Market Intelligence\nRepresent Pirros externally as a practitioner voice through industry events, webinars, podcasts, AIA/Autodesk University participation, and customer roundtables\n\nDeliver AIA-accredited continuing education programs as a high-trust GTM and brand-building channel (assuming licensure requirements are met)\n\nMaintain and disseminate Pirros’ perspective on the evolving AEC landscape\n\nWho You Are\nPracticed architecture at a respected firm and understand what it feels like to deliver projects under real deadlines\n\nDeep familiarity with Revit workflows, content standards, BIM coordination, and detail management challenges\n\nStrong understanding of how architecture firms operate both operationally and commercially, including project delivery, profitability, staffing, scheduling, and interdisciplinary coordination\n\nExceptional communicator and equally comfortable building a demo, leading a webinar, writing a battlecard, or presenting to executives\n\nNaturally proactive in sharing context and communicating without waiting to be asked\n\nHighly collaborative and comfortable working across Product, Sales, Marketing, and CS without stepping on ownership boundaries\n\nThrive in ambiguity and excited to help build the bridge process while actively serving as the bridge\n\nAble to hold your own with senior engineers, PMs, architects, executives, and enterprise customers alike\n\nNice to Have\nAIA license\n\nExperience managing BIM standards, content standards, or detail libraries at a mid-to-large architecture firm\n\nExisting industry presence through speaking engagements, AU/AIA participation, podcasts, or thought leadership\n\nPrior experience working closely with a software company (advisor, beta customer, customer council, or in-house)\n\nSales enablement tools, CRM systems, demo environments, or analytics tools\n\nPirros believes diverse perspectives and experiences make both our product and culture stronger.
