About the Company
Our partner is a high-growth SaaS startup building the data and workflow layer for large-scale construction and infrastructure projects. Backed by top-tier investors and currently preparing for a Series A, the company has demonstrated strong tractiongrowing from ~$1M to ~$3M ARR in the past year with a lean, founder-led go-to-market team.

- Manage and close complex deals with longer sales cycles and multiple stakeholders
- Collaborate with leadership to refine sales strategy, messaging, and positioning
- Contribute to building sales collateral, playbooks, and GTM processes
- Identify new market opportunities and help drive expansion into key regions and verticals
- Maintain accurate pipeline tracking and forecasting
Requirements
- 14+ years of experience in a closing role (Account Executive or similar), or strong progression from a top-performing SDR/BDR
