The Role
ClearlyRated is building a dedicated enterprise and C-level motion to bring CX to the largest firms in architecture, engineering, construction, and accounting, starting in early 2027. This role is built to open that door: a well-connected former firm leader who can bring ClearlyRated into rooms of principals and C-level peers, and bring those peers into a real conversation about client experience as a practice differentiator.
What You’ll Do
Shape the council's agenda, membership and format alongside ClearlyRated's CEO
Invite and host peer principals and C-level leaders at roundtables, in person and virtually
Speak or moderate panels at select industry events, such as ACEC, SMPS or Zweig Group conferences
Present findings from ClearlyRated's AEC client feedback benchmarks to firm leadership audiences
Introduce ClearlyRated to leaders in your network when a client experience conversation is a fit for their firm
Experience
20+ years in AEC, including time as CEO, COO, president or managing principal of a firm with $100M+ in revenue or an ENR Top 500 ranking
Relationships with firm leaders who would take your call, and an active role in groups such as ACEC, AIA, AGC, SMPS or CFMA
Experience speaking at or moderating industry conferences and events
A conviction that client experience sets firms apart, ideally from leading client programs at your own firm
Interest in an independent role with direct access to the CEO and little day-to-day oversight
Why Join Us?
Impact: help shape how the largest firms in architecture, engineering, construction, and accounting think about client experience, at the ground floor of a new enterprise motion
Access: direct working relationship with ClearlyRated's CEO and leadership team, not layers of management
Flexibility: set your own schedule around 10–20 hours a week, fully remote
Culture: startup energy with leaders who've built and scaled established companies before — low bureaucracy, high trust
Community: build a peer network of C-level and principal leaders around a topic you already care about
Compensation
Retainer plus a variable component tied to the enterprise pipeline you help build
Non-exclusive — hold other advisory, board, or consulting roles alongside this one
Travel and event costs covered when representing ClearlyRated at conferences or roundtables
Path to a full-time role after a couple of quarters, if there's mutual interest — no obligation to decide now
