Zero acquires and transforms Owner. Backed by General Catalyst.
About the role
Most AEC firms know AI matters. Almost none know what to do about it. A pilot, a tool, a workshop — and nothing about how the team works has changed. KPR Transform closes that gap. You're the person who closes it.
What they're looking for
- 5-8+ years of experience , with a track record leading client-facing strategy, advisory, or transformation engagements, not just contributing to them
- AEC experience. You have worked inside or directly with AEC firms, owners, developers, or owner's reps. You know how projects get delivered and where technology actually creates value
- A specific story about a workflow you changed. What it was, why you changed it, and what happened as a result
- Daily, hands-on use of modern AI tools. You are building with this stuff, not reading about it
- Executive presence. You can hold a room with AEC leadership and hold your own with the technical team building the solution
- A bias to ship , and the independence to run an engagement without someone telling you what to do next
More about this role
Most AEC firms know AI matters. Almost none know what to do about it. A pilot, a tool, a workshop — and nothing about how the team works has changed.
KPR Transform closes that gap. You're the person who closes it.
You own client engagements end to end: discovery, strategy, build, and adoption. You're done when it's how the team runs, not when the deck is delivered. You'll need to hold a room with a firm's leadership and hold a room with its project teams, often in the same week.
Commercial ownership sits with the Managing Director. You own the substance — the diagnosis, the roadmap, the build, and the outcome.
Run AI diagnostics and technology assessments that surface how work actually happens, not how the org chart says it happens
Build transformation roadmaps and board-ready business cases that rank the bets worth making
Partner with technical teams to build the workflow, tool, or system the engagement calls for, and stay through adoption
Design and deliver executive workshops for AEC leadership teams
Turn every engagement into a documented outcome. If it is not measured, it did not happen
Travel to client sites as needed to work alongside client teams (up to 75%)
