About the Role
The 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.
This 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.
Today, 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.
