The Opportunity

BuildEm USA Corp. is a Veteran-founded technology platform connecting employers with Veterans, military dependents, and qualified civilians pursuing careers in skilled trades, manufacturing, construction, and related industries.

Our platform is launched, our commercial relationships are developing, and we are preparing for our next stage of growth.

We are seeking an exceptional relationship builder, dealmaker, and capital strategist to help position BuildEm for its next investment round and long-term expansion.

This is not a traditional investor relations position.

We are looking for someone who thrives on connecting people, developing opportunities, building investment narratives, and closing deals. Someone who understands how to turn an emerging business into a compelling investment opportunity.

The right individual will have the opportunity to become an integral part of BuildEm's leadership and long-term growth.

Ideal qualifications include:

• Established relationships with family offices, private investors, or high-net-worth individuals.
• Demonstrated experience in capital formation, private investments, strategic transactions, or entrepreneurial business development.
• Ability to develop and communicate compelling investment opportunities.
• Strong interpersonal skills and confidence engaging senior executives and sophisticated investors.
• Experience navigating complex relationships and reviving opportunities that have stalled.
• An entrepreneurial mindset, with the ability to operate independently and develop opportunities without extensive organizational support.
• Comfort working with an early-stage company where long-term value creation is as important as immediate execution.

Particularly valuable experience :

• Military service or established relationships within the Veteran and military communities.
• SaaS, technology platforms, marketplaces, or emerging technology companies.
• Skilled trades, workforce development, construction, manufacturing, or industrial services.
• Real estate investment, infrastructure development, or related family office investment networks.
• Senior government, military, corporate, or institutional relationship development.

We value demonstrated relationships, sound judgment, and execution over credentials or traditional career progression.

What You'll Do

Capital Strategy & Investor Engagement

• Lead efforts supporting an immediate $1M–$2M capital raise.
• Identify and engage family offices, private investors, high-net-worth individuals, and strategic investment groups.
• Leverage existing relationships to open meaningful conversations with qualified investors.
• Reengage previously interested investors and relationships that have gone quiet.
• Develop and manage investor relationships from initial introductions through diligence and potential investment.
• Work directly with BuildEm's Chairman and CEO on capital strategy, investor positioning, and strategic opportunities.

Investment Storytelling & Positioning

• Translate BuildEm's technology, business model, and commercial opportunities into a compelling investment narrative.
• Help refine investor presentations, financial positioning, and the company's broader growth story.
• Communicate the potential of a scalable workforce platform operating across multiple industries.
• Identify strategic connections between workforce development, technology, infrastructure, real estate, and industrial investment opportunities.

Strategic Relationships & Business Development

• Cultivate relationships with senior business executives, family offices, former and current government officials, military leaders, and influential industry participants.
• Identify opportunities where investment, commercial partnerships, and strategic relationships intersect.
• Represent BuildEm professionally in high-level business discussions and networking environments.
• Help develop a long-term capital strategy supporting subsequent institutional and strategic investment rounds.

Who We're Looking For

You are a natural connector who enjoys bringing people and opportunities together.

You have experience building relationships with investors, business owners, senior executives, or influential decision-makers.

You understand that successful dealmaking requires persistence, credibility, preparation, and the ability to recognize what motivates the other party.

Compensation & Long-Term Opportunity

BuildEm is an early-stage company offering an entrepreneurial opportunity rather than a conventional salaried position.

We are seeking an individual who believes in building long-term enterprise value and is comfortable with an equity-based, performance-oriented compensation structure.

The specific arrangement will be negotiated based on experience, responsibilities, commitment, and applicable regulatory requirements.

For the right person, this opportunity offers the potential to develop into a broader executive leadership role with meaningful participation in BuildEm's long-term growth.

Why BuildEm?

BuildEm is addressing a persistent challenge across the American economy: connecting qualified workers with employers who need their skills.

Our Veteran-first approach provides a differentiated foundation for building relationships across military communities, employers, educational institutions, and workforce organizations.

We believe the opportunity extends beyond recruiting into a broader technology-enabled workforce ecosystem.

We have moved beyond the concept stage. Our platform is operating, our commercial relationships are developing, and our next challenge is accelerating market adoption and expansion.

We are looking for someone who sees that opportunity—and knows how to bring the right people and capital together to pursue it.

Interested?

If you have an established investor network, enjoy developing and closing opportunities, and are interested in helping build an emerging company, we'd welcome a conversation.
