About the role

Build is at the moment where commercial velocity becomes the constraint. The product is working. The team is growing. The pipeline is strong. What we need now is someone who can take a high volume of inbound and outbound interest and convert it predictably, and build the systems that make that conversion repeatable. "The close motion is working. Your job is to make it clockwork."

What they're looking for

  • A degree in civil, structural, or technical engineering, and/or a track record of closing complex, multi-stakeholder deals in institutional real estate, infrastructure, or adjacent professional services
  • Comfort with long sales cycles and the patience to move them without losing momentum
  • Strong enough domain knowledge to hold a conversation with a head of acquisitions without needing to look anything up
  • Genuine, proven curiosity about AI and what it can do for the built world, not just a talking point
  • Automation-first mindset: your first instinct when a process is repetitive is to automate it, not hire for it
  • Builder instinct: you don't wait for a process to exist, you improve it
