Strategic Business Director - Growth At ArchiPro

Today, building and renovating is a time-consuming, expensive, demanding, and fragmented process, and great design feels restricted to the privileged few. Separately, we’re witnessing industry after industry being revolutionised by technology, yet the building industry and all of the elements involved in the process have yet to undergo this level of digital innovation and transformation—until now.

Meet ArchiPro—a cutting-edge all-in-one platform built on exceptional design and world-class engineering; we have quickly become a game-changing industry leader.

Every month, nearly half a million people use the Archipro platform to search for Products, connect with Professionals, and find Project Inspiration for their building projects. Our platform empowers businesses to grow online and helps millions of people embarking on their building journey find what they love and need, from architects, designers and builders to products and materials.

• ArchiPro is backed by Tiger Global, one of the largest funds globally, and they only back the world's most exceptional companies. They have invested in Facebook, TikTok, Air BnB, Alibaba, Roblox, and Stripe.
• We have an excellent ESOP structure in place designed to not only reward you with a strong base and commission structure but also with the ability for you to have a stake in the business.
• We have crushed New Zealand, we are disrupting Australia and now, we are gearing up to launch in California, and soon, we will be the default residential building platform globally.
