Nice To Haves

Industry Knowledge: Prior experience in Construction-Tech (ConTech) or the broader AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) industry.

Responsibilities

Leadership & Coaching: Train, mentor, and develop the BDR team to evolve from volume-based callers to strategic relationship builders. You will lead by example, setting the standard for personalized pitching, value proposition tailoring per persona, and high-level discovery techniques.
Hiring and Onboarding: Lead recruitment efforts for new BDRs with a focus on consultative talent. Ensure a structured onboarding experience that prioritizes industry knowledge and strategic account management over rote memorization.
Training and Development: Design and deliver structured training programs focusing on the "Buildots Methodology": understanding the construction buying committee, navigating sales cycles, and mastering the nuances of ConTech.
Specialized Knowledge: Build a dedicated construction-tech program sharing insights about technology evolution, competitive analysis, and the specific value propositions that resonate with global enterprise accounts.
Process Building & Account Strategy: Analyze and sharpen workflows, review and improve sequences, partner with Sales to track account status & health, and help your team build coalitions within focus accounts.
Monitoring Metrics (Beyond the Meeting): Utilize the tech stack to track KPIs that reflect the new strategy—monitoring account penetration, depth of relationship, and pipeline quality alongside traditional activity metrics.
Collaborating with Marketing and Sales: Act as the bridge for Account-Based Marketing (ABM) efforts. Optimize the SLA to ensure that the handoff from BDR to Sales is a high-context "baton pass" that sets the Account Executive up for success.
Team Culture & Engagement: Create a high-energy, intellectually curious work environment. Encourage a "student of the game" mentality where BDRs are motivated to understand the "why" behind construction challenges, not just the "how" of making a call.
