We're building the next generation of AI-powered construction management software, enabling construction companies to run smarter, more efficient, and more profitable businesses.\nConstruction is one of the world's largest industries, yet many builders still rely on spreadsheets, disconnected tools, and manual processes to manage their operations.

We're looking for a results-driven, entrepreneurial sales professional who can independently generate opportunities, own the entire sales cycle, and contribute to shaping our go-to-market strategy. Working directly with the Founder & CEO, this person will play a key role in expanding Buildern's market presence and establishing the processes that will support our next stage of growth. This is a role for someone who wants to build a sales engine, not just inherit a pipeline.\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn the full sales cycle.Prospect, qualify, discover, demo, negotiate, and close.\nBuild your own pipeline.Find and engage decision-makers through cold calls, email, and creative outbound strategies.\nConvert inbound demand.Take ownership of qualified inbound opportunities and turn them into customers.\nSell to business owners.Work directly with owners and leaders of established residential construction companies.\nRun exceptional demos.Understand each prospect's business and show how Buildern can solve their challenges.\nBuild alongside the founder.Help shape our go-to-market strategy, messaging, sales playbook, and processes.\nOwn your numbers.Manage your pipeline, forecast accurately, and consistently deliver revenue.\nMake us better.Bring insights from the market to improve our product, positioning, and sales approach.\nYou'll Thrive Here If You...\nHave proven experience selling construction technology software. This is a must.\nAre a top-performing B2B SaaS closer with a consistent track record of exceeding quota.\nHave 5+ years of sales experience, including full-cycle ownership.\nKnow how to generate your own pipelineand don't depend on SDRs or marketing to fill your calendar.\nAre confident selling directly to construction business owners and decision-makers.\nCan turn a cold prospect into a paying customer.\nKnow how to run discovery, uncover real business problems, and sell value rather than features.\nThrive in early-stage environments where you have ownership, autonomy, and accountability.\nAre resourceful, competitive, curious, and driven by results.\nWant to help build something meaningful and share in its success.\nBonus points if you:\nHave sold construction management, estimating, or project management software to residential builders.\nUnderstand the workflows and challenges of custom home building companies.\nHave experience as a founding or early sales hire.\nHave helped develop outbound strategies or sales processes from scratch.\nWhy This Is a Career-Defining Opportunity\nBuild, don't just sell.You'll help define how Buildern acquires customers and scales its sales organization.\nWork directly with the founder.No layers of management. Your ideas, feedback, and results will have a direct impact.\nSell a product that solves real problems.Builders use Buildern to manage critical parts of their businesses, from estimating and scheduling to project finances.\nGet rewarded for performance.Competitive compensation, uncapped commission, and the opportunity for equity for the right person.\nGrow with the company.As Buildern scales, you'll have the opportunity to take on greater responsibility and potentially grow into a sales leadership role.\nWe're looking for someone who sees this as more than their next sales job. We want someone who wants to help build the company.\nReady to Build With Us?\nIf you're a top-performing construction technology AE who can create opportunities, close deals, and wants to help build a leading construction software company, we'd love to hear from you.\nDon't just tell us you're great at sales.
