A Once-in-a-Career Opportunity

What if you could help build the company that fundamentally changes how architecture is designed?

Our Client is launching a groundbreaking business at the intersection of artificial intelligence and architecture
, and we're seeking an exceptional Lead Architect to help define its future. This is far more than a leadership position—it's an opportunity to shape a company from the ground up, influence the direction of an emerging industry, and build a world‑class team around you.

You’ll serve as the architectural leader responsible for launching and scaling this next‑generation practice, partnering with visionary founders who are reimagining the design process through AI. For the right individual, this role offers significant long‑term growth, leadership, partnership potential, and the opportunity to earn equity as the business scales.

If you’ve ever wanted to leave a lasting mark on the profession, this is your chance.

As Lead Architect, you will:

• Lead the launch and growth of a pioneering AI‑powered architecture business.
• Establish design standards, workflows, and best practices for a rapidly scaling organization.
• Serve as the architectural visionary while collaborating with technology and AI teams to redefine the design process.
• Build, mentor, and lead a high‑performing architectural team as the company grows.
• Partner directly with executive leadership on strategy, business development, and long‑term company growth.
• Cultivate strong relationships with clients, developers, and industry partners.
• Champion innovation while delivering exceptional architectural solutions for complex projects.

We’re seeking an entrepreneurial architect who combines exceptional design and technical expertise with business leadership and a passion for innovation.

Ideal qualifications include:

• Approximately 15+ years of post‑graduate architectural experience.
• Significant expertise within the multifamily residential sector.
• A balanced career spanning both large, nationally recognized firms and smaller, entrepreneurial organizations
  , providing experience with both complex project delivery and business growth.
• Strong leadership experience with the ability to build, inspire, and scale teams.
• Highly client‑facing with exceptional communication, presentation, and relationship‑building skills.
• Strong business acumen and the ability to think strategically beyond project delivery.
• Passion for technology with a track record of embracing new tools, digital workflows, and emerging innovations.
• Licensed Architect preferred. Miami is the preferred location, but outstanding candidates from anywhere in the U.S. will be considered.

• Help create an entirely new category where AI and architecture converge.
• Lead something from day one instead of inheriting an established practice.
• Build and scale your own team as the business experiences significant growth.
• Influence company strategy alongside visionary leadership.
• Partnership and equity potential for the right leader.
• Competitive compensation of $225,000–$250,000 plus comprehensive benefits.

This is a rare opportunity for an accomplished architect who wants more than the next title. It's for someone who wants to help define the future of the profession while building an extraordinary business from the ground up.

If you’re excited by innovation, entrepreneurship, and the chance to leave a lasting legacy, we’d love to speak with you.
