Academic Partnership Manager

Architectural Partnerships & Solutions Manager

Product: BeeGraphy (Cloud Computational Design Platform)

Focus: Industry + Academia (Architecture & Manufacturing)

Own real-world adoption of BeeGraphy by turning architectural and production workflows into working systems - across both industry clients and universities.

This is about making BeeGraphy real in production and education.

Your Mission

Bridge architecture, computation, and real production.

You will work with:

• Architecture-focused manufacturers (custom products)
• Architecture & design universities

Your goal:

Take messy, manual, non-standard workflows and turn them into structured, working, repeatable systems using BeeGraphy and deploy in manufacturer's workflow

One real use case → one proven workflow → one scalable model.

What You’ll DoIndustry & Production (Commercial Side)

• Identify and outreach manufacturers with configurable / made-to-order products
• Run structured workflow diagnostics (pricing, approvals, customization, production logic)
• Translate real products into pilot configurators
• Validate impact (speed, accuracy, lead quality, operational efficiency)
• Expand successful pilots into multi-product systems
• Help turn working cases into vertical templates (furniture, panels, facades, etc.)

You don’t “sell the platform.” You prove value through working systems.

Academia & Ecosystem (Adoption Side)

• Act as primary partner for architecture & design universities
• Work with deans, faculty, and program heads to integrate BeeGraphy
• Use BeeGraphy Design Awards as an entry point into curriculum
• Support departments in:
• Course design
• Methodology adoption
• Faculty onboarding
• Own long-term relationships with institutions
• Turn competitions into permanent curriculum usage

You don’t push software.You enable programs.

• Real student usage (not just signups)

Why This Role Exists

BeeGraphy is not a typical SaaS tool.

It is an infrastructure layer for how architecture and production actually work.

• Speaks architecture
• Understands systems
• Can manage real-world complexity
• Turns intent into implementation

Who This Is NOT For

❌ Pure software salespeople

❌ Aggressive closers

❌ People uncomfortable with design + production logic
