Design Advocate - Architect at Pirros · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

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.

Embed 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
Maintain visibility into upcoming launches and roadmap changes well ahead of broader GTM rollout
Feed customer and field insights directly back into Product discovery. Surface what’s resonating, where users are struggling, and what competitive pressure is emerging
GTM Enablement & Launch Readiness
