Founding Growth & Strategic Partnerships Lead | AEC Technology

About Archive Owl

Archive Owl is an architect-founded property documentation company reimagining how the built environment is measured, documented, and preserved.

We provide architect-led as-built drawings, 3D scanning, and comprehensive property documentation for architecture, interior design, construction, and real estate professionals.

Founded in Los Angeles, with growing project work and relationships in markets including New York, we’re building toward a broader vision for how architectural and property information is organized, accessed, and preserved.

Our ambition is to establish a new standard for property documentation, combining architectural expertise, emerging technology, and thoughtful design.

The Opportunity

We’re seeking an entrepreneurial Founding Growth & Strategic Partnerships Lead to help shape the next stage of Archive Owl.

This opportunity sits at the intersection of architecture, technology, and business development. We’re looking for someone who understands how early-stage companies grow, how strategic partnerships are developed, and how professional services can evolve into scalable technology-enabled businesses.

You’ll work directly with the founder to identify growth opportunities, strengthen our market positioning, develop industry relationships, and help establish the foundations for future platform adoption.

Our immediate priority is growing a sustainable documentation business through recurring relationships with architects, interior designers, builders, developers, and real estate professionals. Longer term, we see significant opportunities in the technology and infrastructure supporting the built environment.

This is an opportunity to contribute at an early stage, with meaningful influence over the company’s growth direction.

What You’ll Do

•Develop and execute a focused growth strategy spanning professional services, strategic partnerships, and emerging technology opportunities.
•Identify scalable customer acquisition channels within architecture, interior design, construction, and real estate.
•Build relationships with industry platforms, professional organizations, technology providers, and potential distribution partners.
•Establish repeatable business development processes, including CRM workflows, outreach strategies, and conversion tracking.
•Develop preferred-provider relationships, referral programs, and strategic accounts that generate recurring business.
•Evaluate opportunities for partnerships, integrations, and expansion into new geographic markets.
•Collaborate directly with the founder on positioning, go-to-market strategy, and future platform adoption.
•Translate growth initiatives into measurable objectives, priorities, and results.

Who We’re Looking For

•At least 5 years of relevant experience in growth, business development, strategic partnerships, or go-to-market strategy.
•Demonstrated success generating revenue, developing strategic partnerships, or scaling an early-stage business.
•Experience with technology startups, SaaS, PropTech, AEC technology, or related professional services.
•Strong commercial judgment and the ability to balance immediate revenue opportunities with longer-term growth.
•An entrepreneurial, hands-on approach and comfort operating with limited resources.
•Excellent communication skills and the ability to develop meaningful relationships with senior industry professionals.
•Experience building and managing measurable growth pipelines.

Particularly valuable experience includes:

•Growth or partnerships experience with AEC, construction technology, design software, or property technology companies.
•Experience bringing an early-stage SaaS or marketplace product to market.
•Existing relationships with architecture, construction, real estate, or technology leaders.
•Experience developing channel partnerships, referral programs, or strategic integrations.
•A track record of helping founder-led companies transition from early traction to repeatable growth.

An architecture or interior design background is welcome but not required.

Engagement & Growth

This is a remote, US-based opportunity structured as an initial fractional engagement of approximately 8–12 hours per week, with flexible scheduling and occasional in-person collaboration or industry events in Los Angeles and New York.

You’ll work directly with the founder and have meaningful influence over Archive Owl’s growth strategy, strategic partnerships, market expansion, and future technology initiatives.

For the right individual, we envision this developing into a long-term leadership opportunity as the company scales, with the potential for expanded responsibilities, compensation, and a more substantial role in shaping the business.

Compensation includes a base arrangement, with opportunities for performance-based incentives tied to measurable growth and successful business development.

We’re looking for someone who sees the opportunity to help build something enduring, not simply take on another consulting assignment.

How to Apply

Please submit your resume or LinkedIn profile, along with a brief introduction describing your experience growing early-stage companies or developing strategic partnerships.

We’d particularly welcome one or two examples of measurable results, including revenue growth, customer acquisition, strategic partnerships, or successful go-to-market initiatives. Please describe your personal contribution and the timeframe.

Finalists should be prepared to provide two professional references who can speak to their experience and track record.
