About The Position

Our partner is a SaaS platform for owners in the construction space, the institutions that manage large capital projects worth tens of millions of dollars. Their data management solution sits between project management, financial, and contractor systems, contextualizing structured and unstructured data with a proprietary knowledge graph to power dashboards, AI search, invoice review, document classification, and workflow automation. Founded by industry veterans, the company has raised $8M, grew from $1M to $3M ARR over the past year, and is currently raising its Series A. This is the company's second Account Executive and a true founding sales role. You will drive outbound prospecting, generate leads at industry events, and run full sales cycles from opportunity to close, with deal sizes ranging from roughly $144K to $500K per year and 4-5 month cycles typical of selling into public infrastructure, universities, and health systems. Beyond closing, you will help build the go-to-market function itself, shaping content, sales collateral, and target-market strategy. You will receive the same strong distribution of inbound and referral opportunities as the current rep, with clear upside toward becoming a top performer and a path to sales leadership. This role suits someone with a gritty startup mentality who wants ownership over process, not just a list of accounts to work.

Requirements

• 1-2 years of closing experience (more junior candidates with strong potential considered)
• A gritty startup mentality with willingness to build processes, do outreach, and create collateral
• Technical savviness and comfort understanding software concepts such as APIs and systems
• Comfort operating in a fast-changing environment with high ownership
