**Ability to travel the market**

We are seeking a currently practicing Architect to join our client's commercial team as the architectural expert working directly with the client. This role is designed for an architect who wants to remain deeply connected to the profession, the design community, and the built environment, while gaining broader market influence and a more relationship-driven career path. You will continue working alongside architects and designers every day, helping shape project outcomes where design intent, material performance, technical requirements, and construction execution meet.

In this position, you will use your architectural expertise to support design professionals, influence product selection, and help bring high-performing commercial projects from early design through installation. You will serve as a credible technical and design resource to architects, interior designers, developers, contractors, distributors, and project teams across the Los Angeles market.

The ideal candidate is an active architect with current project experience, strong familiarity with specification development and construction documentation, and an established presence within the architecture and design community.

• Manage the assigned territory by delivering regular product presentations, providing customer support, updating the library, and reviewing specifications.
• Collaborate with the commercial manager and distribution team to generate, track, and fulfill large projects from specification through installation, and develop a commercial strategy for the region.
• Collaborate with Distributor Strategic Account Managers and A&D partners on product education meetings and events.
• Attend Commercial and Architectural trade shows to increase relationships with architects, interior designers, national accounts, developers, and industry partners.
• When necessary, visit job sites for pre-installation and post-installation education to ensure installers and architects achieve the desired finished product.
