Account Executive

Miter • Chicago, IL

17d • Hybrid

About The Position

At Miter, we’re on a mission to help construction contractors build with confidence. If we’re successful, we’ll make it easier and faster to build critical physical infrastructure - roads, bridges, utilities, data centers, housing, etc.
For decades, construction and field services contractors have had to run their businesses on outdated software: clunky, on-premise systems created in the 1980s and 1990s.
That’s where Miter comes in. We’re using AI and embedded payments to rebuild the core HR, finance, and operations systems that underpin our physical economy. Using Miter, contractors like Marathon Electrical, W.J. O’Neil, and Truebeck Construction are building stronger teams, controlling job costs, and accelerating jobsite execution.
This idea is resonating. Since we launched in 2021, we’ve grown to thousands of customers and tens of millions in ARR, making us one of the fastest growing vertical software companies ever. To double-down on our momentum, we’ve raised $50M+ from top investors (Bessemer, Coatue, and Battery) who share our belief that we’re just getting started.
About the Team & How We Work:
As an Account Executive at Miter, you will be on the front lines of revolutionizing the construction industry. This is a full-cycle sales role where you will act as a consultative partner to contractors, guiding them to a better way of running their business. You will be responsible for new account acquisition, owning the entire sales process from initial outreach to closing new business. You will have a direct impact on our customers' ability to manage their teams, projects, and financials with greater efficiency, ultimately helping them build a better built world.

This role involves approximately 75% travel (12–15 working days per month). Most travel will be within your assigned territory and focused on customer meetings, events, and site visits. Travel expectations will be set and agreed upon in advance, with the majority being local or regional rather than cross-country.
