About Trayd

Trayd is solving the oldest problem in America: how do we build physical infrastructure that lasts generations? We're replacing manual processes and legacy systems with AI-native software built around how construction actually runs. Companies using our software have built some of America's greatest infrastructure projects like the Buffalo Bills' Highmark Stadium and JFK International Airport. We're building the category-defining back office for trade contractors with a platform that runs live payroll, job costing, and accounting workflows every week for the hardest-working people in the country. We grew 600% over the last year with a lean team of ~30, made up of some of the sharpest and most driven talent in New York. We were in Y Combinator's Summer 2023 batch and have raised over $15 million from Tier 1 investors. We're proudly and permanently based in NYC. We're in the next phase of growth, and every hire here directly shapes what customers see next.

Role Overview

As an early stage Account Executive, you will work closely with the CEO and CRO to shape the company's go-to-market strategy, build and manage a high-quality sales pipeline, and close key deals that move the business forward. At Trayd, every day is different and you might find yourself shaping our sales strategy one day and pitching a major contractor the next. Willingness to travel is a must. We want people who are ready to hop on the road and meet our customers where they are. We hire people who see a problem and run toward it. People who move quickly, figure things out, and take ownership from day one. We care less about your pedigree and more about your track record and what you've accomplished along the way. At Trayd, you will have the autonomy to tackle hard problems from end to end, make decisions that shape the trajectory of the company, and see the impact of your work firsthand. You will help build the foundation for Trayd's growth beyond Series A, with massive room for your own growth throughout the organization as we scale together.
