About the Company

Are you a hands-on sales leader who thrives in fast-moving, high-growth environments? This is a unique opportunity to take the reins of North American revenue for a cutting-edge construction technology scale-up. Backed by strong early traction and a proven solution used by Tier 1 and Tier 2 general contractors, this company is transforming how jobsite visibility, stakeholder communication, and progress tracking are managed, using a smart blend of AI, cloud software, and automated imaging.

You'll inherit a lean, focused team and play a pivotal role in scaling the business from early-market wins to predictable, repeatable growth. This role is ideal for someone who knows how to build and lead sales teams, but still enjoys rolling up their sleeves to close deals, refine GTM strategy, and land milestone projects. If you know how to align your outreach with the construction project lifecycle and can sell into live jobs, not just logos, this could be your next play.
