Industry Lead - Architecture, Engineering & Construction

Sell in the industry you know, with maximum freedom and no cap on what you earn. You bring the relationships. Lykido builds the AI, does the delivery, and pays you first.

• High commission, no cap. This tier is built to out-earn the firm's owners.
• No admin. The platform handles the prep, the paperwork, and the follow-up. You sell.
• AEC is the firm's beachhead: the lowest AI adoption of any major sector and the widest gap between what the work is and what it could be.

The role

You bring deep relationships and hard-won credibility in Architecture, Engineering and Construction; the firm removes the administrative tax that has always stood between you and the work, and ranks your communications first. You find the work and close it. The platform carries the rest.

AEC is the most disruptable industry we can find, and the firm's beachhead. By the measures that matter it has among the lowest AI adoption of any sector and among the highest remaining potential - the widest gap between what the work could be and what it is. The big consultancies chased finance and tech and skipped this industry entirely. The firm already has proof in-sector and a warm path to a top-tier reference firm. This seat is the person who turns that opening into a book.

What you will own

• Own the AEC book: the relationships, the deals, and the sector's trust - architects, engineers, and builders who have watched larger firms pass them by.
• Turn the firm's platform leverage into AEC outcomes: drawings and specifications, RFIs and submittals, code compliance, estimating, and the mountain of project documentation that buries this industry.
• Carry a small, concrete pilot into a marquee firm and turn it into a case study, then turn the case study into the sector.
• Protect the relationship over the quarter: a friend's conversation, not a pitch; alignment, not extraction; let the client choose freely.

You may be a good fit if

• You have a deep, real network in AEC and the credibility to open doors inside it.
• You have sold or delivered into architecture, engineering, or construction at a senior level and know where the time and the money in those firms actually go.
• You are glad to work at a firm that gives a growing share of its profit away (About Lykido, below).
• You are fluent enough in AI to wield the firm's tooling and curious enough to push it further. You do not need to build it, but you must believe in it.
• You want to be paid for what you bring, and you would rather out-earn an owner than answer to a committee.

Compensation

Industry Lead is the firm's earning engine and is paid like one: high commission, no cap, for as long as you keep producing. For the firm's first years, and maybe longer, Industry Leads are built to out-earn the firm's Members - the owners. That is the structure. The people who bring the work are paid first and paid most.

In exchange, the firm makes one promise: it removes the administrative tax this work has always carried. Deal signals, staging, document generation, follow-up. The internal platform exists for you before it exists for anyone else, and your communications move to the front of the queue the moment they arrive.

There is a path from here to a Membership seat for a Lead who wants to help govern the firm rather than only sell into it. Many will earn more, and answer to less, by staying exactly where the commission is.

About Lykido

Lykido is an applied AI consultancy with a public-benefit commitment written into its charter. A share of net profit, starting at 5% and growing toward 50% as revenue scales, funds public-benefit work before any owner takes a distribution. That ordering is permanent. Nobody here is asked to preach; the structure does the work. Sell well, build well, and the commitment is funded by the same success that pays you.

How to apply

Please send your resume and a short note about a relationship in AEC you would stake your name on, and the problem in that firm you already know how to fix. Parents returning to work after time away to raise children are encouraged to apply.

AI use, in this posting and your reply

This posting is mostly human writing, tightened with AI. We build with AI every day and expect you to, so using it in your reply is fine. Just do not send slop. Replies that read as wholly machine-written, or that skip the ask above, are discarded.
