Consultant - Construction Executive

Job Description

Why this might interest you

You've spent a career in construction. You know where the work breaks down and why, and you've watched AI arrive in this industry sold by people who have never done the job.

You're past wanting another full-time role. You're not done either. You'd rather build something than take the occasional consulting call.

You want to work for yourself, on your own schedule, with real ownership in what you help create. And you want the next thing you build to change how this industry works, not just keep it running.

If that's you, we should talk.

About Guide

Guide AI is building an AI platform for operations-heavy industries, starting with insurance and now construction. Our belief is that half of the mistakes and paperwork in these businesses can be resolved with the right AI support.

We're building tools to help teams understand documents faster, catch issues earlier, reduce rework, and close out cleaner work, without replacing human judgment.

What the role actually looks like

Most weeks, it's a conversation. Product feedback, strategizing on sales calls, helping us break in the door, consulting on client engagements as the subject matter expert.

Your expertise is valuable in:

Networking with construction leaders and operators

Positioning and selling into construction: pricing, procurement, buying committees, objections

Where construction teams lose time, money, and control

High-value use cases across document review, submittals, RFIs, change orders, reporting, and rework

Stress-testing our product and rollout plans against what actually worked, and what didn't, when you launched something new

What we're building

Document and project file first-read and orientation

QA and risk review on open work

Missing document and deadline detection

Cost overrun, change order, and escalation indicators

Summarization, chronology, and report generation

Pre-submission review to reduce rework

Contract, spec, and code/compliance checks

About the team

Our team brings deep construction industry experience along with experience from the Lloyd's of London insurance market, startup company-building, and AI product/infrastructure work. Across the team, we have built three AI products.

Guide is backed by Sisu, a Silicon Valley startup incubator with LPs including operators and early builders behind companies like Skype, PayPal, and First Round Capital.
