Each is responsible for assigned markets and for working collaboratively toward collective success with all convergence directors, regional directors, regional design directors, and consulting leaders. The four specific assignments and Business Titles for the firmwide market convergence leaders are:
Executive Director, Market Strategies & Growth, HEALTH for ALL
Executive Director, Market Strategies & Growth, NEW FRONTIERS
Executive Director, Market Strategies & Growth, LIVE, WORK, PLAY
Executive Director, Market Strategies & Growth, INCUBATE & LAUNCH

The NEW FRONTIERS markets include research, science, technology, and advanced manufacturing. Other markets under consideration include aerospace, aviation, and quantum computing. Higher education also intersects this collaboration through research, discovery, and preparation of the next generation workforce. Commercial market intersects this collaboration in its work with multiple industry sectors. Health intersects this collaboration through medical research and biomanufacturing.
LIVE, WORK, PLAY includes housing, civic/community, retail, work/office, sports, recreation, assembly, entertainment, transit, parks.

CD Research and CD Innovation are organized under the Incubate & Launch leader as well.
CONSULTING includes the services under our Blue Cottage of CannonDesign, The Clarient Group, and Yellow Brick brands and works with ALL markets within the company.
The most important measure of success of each Convergence Director is the ability to grow brand awareness within their assigned markets in ways that drive, source, and lead to securing significant new and repeat business aligned with the strategic framework, business planning objectives, and with our desire to scale our efforts across all markets, service and business lines in the firm. Recruitment of talent, mentoring of leaders within the firm, and opening doors to new clients (sourcing leads) are all very important expectations of the Convergence Director roles.
Key Criteria of Role
A growth mindset
The key responsibility of the role is to first develop and execute regional, national, or international growth plans which align with the ambitions of the firm through our strategic framework with a target of a minimum of 10% year over year growth in the assigned core markets and submarkets.
Growth is defined in 4 ways.
Organic growth of existing locations and markets in one or more regions.
Growth in building our CannonDesign brand (and all sub-brands) through selectively sourcing the work we pursue and the strategic partnerships we develop - with other firms, with industry or academic partners, and more. Build a culture of clients and partners for life over commodity work.
Growth achieved through launching new office locations, services, or business lines.
Growth achieved in building out new capabilities, market lines and services through a close relationship and support by the Regional Directors. This can be convergence or regional director initiated but ultimate success is supported by both and must be aligned with the strategic framework.
It is important to note that success requires achieving the metrics of success of your assigned markets and the ultimate success of the entire team of Convergence Directors, Regional Directors, and Regional Design Directors. This group will be accountable to the CEO, CSO and to both the executive and enterprise teams. Directors are evaluated individually and collectively (e.g. we will look at how all the regions and markets are doing as a group - individual success without collective success will not meet overall criteria for success in this role).
Single Firm Multiple Offices (SFMO) First mindset
We are one firm and while the Convergence Director will focus on a specific group of markets, a key part of the role is collaborating with key individuals to build out complementary and distinct capabilities across the firm to further advance SFMO. Your position requires implementing the markets' growth in context with a firm-wide blueprint for developing a network of highly integrated offices, markets, and services that enhance our SFMO (Single-Firm, Multi-Office) culture and grow the AEI practices and the other business lines to contribute to the firm overall.
A Business mindset
In addition to the growth mindset, you will be expected to lead a group of markets that contribute to the firm's annual financial success by contributing to an after-TCC profit in the range of 15% to 25%. While the 15% is an expected minimum, the maximum is a guidepost and in no way shall the success of one convergence market negatively impact any aspect of other markets of the firm. Convergence Directors value to the enterprise hinges on demonstration of a broad world view and insatiable curiosity of what is next and ability to separate trends from long-term shifts in the industries in the markets of interest. In short, we expect Convergence Directors will have “fingers on the pulse” of business, culture, policy, population, and financial shifts across a broad spectrum of topics. Focus will be required and the ability to translate insights into implementation to drive measurable results will be critical.
A Brand Ambassador championing and embracing diversity.
You will participate in a high-performing, diverse and inclusive leadership team to achieve growth and outstanding business results. Most importantly, you will be a leading ambassador of our brand, responsible for demonstrating how our Living-Centered Design ethos comes to life in our culture and in the way we interact with clients, other firms, and business and strategic partners.
Expectations of success by which you will be evaluated:
Firm Growth: Providing executive level leadership, guidance and support to Region, Market, Business (FOS, Software, and Consulting) and Practice Leaders (prime engineering, environmental graphics, lighting) in the development and execution of a regional and national strategies focused on growth and impact, including achieving top line targets and successful financial results which will support a minimum 10% growth of your markets year over year.

Auto-ApplyTech Co-Founder/Founding Engineer
Remote founder and director job
As the Tech Co-Founder/Founding Engineer, you will own the technological vision and development of Merch Monk from day one. You will architect and build our product MVP from scratch, make all key tech decisions, and set the foundation for a scalable platform. You will work side by side with the founder on strategy and product direction, acting as a true partner in the business. This role will eventually evolve into the Chief Technology Officer as we grow, where you will lead an engineering team and play a key role in shaping our engineering culture.
We're looking for a visionary tech leader who can design the right system architecture upfront, bring on the right initial team to develop our MVP, and think strategically about how technology can solve customer pain points. This isn't just a “CTO in title” position. This is a founder-level role with significant autonomy. You will have the freedom to make key technical decisions from day one, and your ideas will directly influence the product roadmap and the future of the business. If you've ever wanted to build a platform your way while working on a mission you believe in, this is the opportunity.
About the role
Help Define & Scope the MVP: Work closely with the founder and designer to translate our vision and user feedback into a clear MVP plan. You'll help define features, set priorities, and create a roadmap for our first product launch.
Architect the Platform: Design the overall architecture and tech stack of the Merch Monk platform from the ground up. Make key technological choices (i.e. frameworks, cloud infrastructure, integrations) that set the company up for a scalable and successful product.
Build the Product: Take a hands-on role in development, coding the front end, back end, and integrations of the MVP, along with the possibility of a junior developer and/or an offshore development team. This can mean everything from implementing the user interface and design studio features, setting up databases and APIs, and integrating with supplier systems. You will own and drive the entire codebase.
Lead Development Efforts: As needed, lead and mentor junior and offshore developers we bring on to help. You'll establish coding standards, perform code reviews, and ensure we ship a high-quality product. You will lay the groundwork for our future engineering team.
Iterate & Scale: Quickly iterate on the product based on user testing and early client feedback. We'll likely establish a private beta where we will gather feedback, fix bugs, and push rapid improvements in short cycles. By the end of year one, you'll be preparing the platform for broader scale by optimizing performance, improving security, and making sure we have the infrastructure to grow.
About you
Minimum Qualifications
Full-Stack Development: Proven experience as a full-stack developer, with comfort owning an entire codebase. You have built significant web applications or platforms before, and you can handle what's needed to bring a product to life.
System Architecture: Experience architecting scalable systems and selecting the tech stack from scratch. You know how to design software that can grow, and you're up to date on modern frameworks, cloud services, and best practices for reliability and security.
E-Commerce or B2B Platforms: Experience developing e-commerce, marketplace, or B2B products, especially involving product catalogs, ordering systems, shipping, and/or payments.
Technical Leadership: Ability to lead development efforts and make critical engineering decisions. You write clean, maintainable code and have a solid grasp of software engineering fundamentals. You're comfortable setting up infrastructure and development workflows from the beginning.
Product Mindset: Strong product sense and a willingness to co-own product decisions. You think about the end-user experience and can contribute ideas to make the product better, not just technically, but from a user perspective.
Communication & Collaboration: Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical teammates. You work well with others and can partner closely with a non-technical founder, bringing technical insight while respecting business and user experience considerations.
Preferred Qualifications
Merch/Promotional Product Industry: Familiarity with the promotional products/branded merchandise industry. (i.e. understanding how swag orders, printing, or fulfillment work).
Startup Growth: Previous experience at a startup or in an early-stage product environment. You know the imperfect development approach and can navigate ambiguity and changing priorities.
Third-Party Integrations: Experience integrating with third-party APIs or enterprise systems (i.e. procurement or inventory management systems). This will be beneficial as we connect our platform to vendors and other services.
Team Leadership: Experience in hiring or mentoring developers or a desire to grow into a team leader/CTO role. We envision this person building and heading an engineering team as the company scales, so an interest in people leadership is a plus.
Customer Obsessed: You care deeply about solving customer problems and delivering an amazing user experience. You constantly think from the end user's perspective and are obsessed with finding the right solution for their pain points.
Mission Driven: You are a missionary, not a mercenary. You don't just build what you are told to build. You are a true believer in the mission and vision and directly contribute to architecting it. You have a burning passion/desire to build the best client experience imaginable.
Ownership & Execution: You take initiative and are the type of person who takes ownership and gets work done. Rather than overanalyzing, you prefer to build, test, and iterate.
Curious & Solution-Oriented: You have the ability to go deep. You genuinely enjoy the idea of truly understanding ideas and processes. When faced with a problem, you're relentlessly resourceful in figuring it out. “No” is not the default in your vocabulary - you find a way or make one.
Optimistic, Yet Realistic: You bring positive energy and see opportunities where others see problems. At the same time, you're pragmatic about what's feasible and can manage scope intelligently. You can dream big, but execute in reality.
What you'll get

About us
Powered by Rock Ventures, Merch Monk is building the future of merch through creative design and the greatest client experience imaginable. We began as Jasper Promotions, a Detroit-based creative agency and distributor that delivered intentional, impactful branded merchandise for leading companies. Since 2023, our two-person team has generated $1.2M in sales with no platform, proving clear demand and a bigger opportunity.
Now we're taking the next step: Transitioning from Jasper's white-glove service to Merch Monk, a modern platform for merch management. We're turning a proven concept into a product that makes creating amazing merch simple. Instead of a fragmented, extremely outdated and manual process, clients get a unified solution with real visibility from ideation to delivery.
We're not just building a platform. We're redefining how brands connect with people through better merchandise and an even better experience. With a strong client base, deep industry experience, and traction, we're past the figuring-it-out stage and positioned to lead this space. Join Merch Monk to help shape an industry that touches every company on the planet. If you're driven by innovation, ownership, and the chance to build something from the ground up (and have a real stake in its success), you'll find a home here.
Why Join Merch Monk's Mission?
This is your chance to build something from the ground up while reshaping an entire industry in the process. You will have a partner who knows the industry and customers deeply, and a business model that's already proven its worth. You'd be joining at the foundational stage to create an amazing product (and an even greater company/engineering culture) using your vision. There's massive upside in creating a product that could transform this $27B (growing) industry and captivate users who have been stuck with a mediocre process for too long. You'll have autonomy and influence from day one, a significant equity stake in a venture with real traction, and the reward of seeing your work make an immediate impact on real clients.
