Unlocking Change Archetype Missions:
As I've seen people having trouble with this I've decided to add it,
1st: The empire needs to be a different archetype then your own
2nd: It needs to be a level 4 or higher empire, this can be checked when orbiting one of their planets by the number inside the star by their name and is determined by its size;
Level 1: 1-3 systems
Level 2: 4-5 systems
Level 3: 6-8 systems
Level 4: 9-12 systems
Level 5: 12+ systems
It is possible to increase the size and therefore level of an empire by going under the Diplomacy screen and paying them to attack and capture a nearby empires system and can help them win the battle if they aren't on their own, if the only nearby empires are allies you don't want to lose you can also simply uplift an empire by using a monolith on a nearby planet that has creatures tribes or civilizations.
3rd: You MUST be allies with them
4th: Open the communication panel and go to missions and there will be another option below the normal mission for changing to their philosophy
5th: Pay the amount of money they ask for which will be 2.5, 5, or 10 million based on the archetype and then do the mission that follows

Change Archetype Missions:
Shaman- Paint or sculpt 150 on different planets, Cost- 2,500,000
Trader- Sell 5000 items, Cost- 2,500,000
Warrior- Conquer 20 systems, Cost- 2,500,000
Zealot- Create 15 new colonies on different planets, Cost- 5,000,000
Bard- Collect 25 rare objects, Cost- 10,000,000
Ecologist- Fill out 50 ecosystems, Cost- 10,000,000
Scientist- Explore 20 non-planetary systems (Blackholes, Protoplanetary Disks), Cost- 5,000,000
Diplomat- Make 5 new alliences, Cost- 5,000,000
(Taking missions from Wanderer save files will give you Diplomat archetype)

(Doing a change archetype mission will make you lose your original super power and get the new one)
