Founding Account Executive

This role is for one of our portfolio companies, not internally at Airtree. Your application will be reviewed by the founder, not an Airtree employee. This early stage company, still operating in stealth, is on a mission to eradicate cost overruns in construction, a $3 trillion problem that slows down cities, destroys margins, and erodes trust between builders and clients.Over 90% of construction projects go over budget, eroding builder margins and stalling progress across the industry. Our platform takes a new approach to helping builders stay on budget by detecting and preventing costly variations before they spiral. Our AI-powered early warning system gives builders control over project costs — protecting time, margin, and reputation on every build.We are at the start of something big and we're looking for our first commercial hire to build the sales function from the ground up. You'll work hand-in-hand with the two founders to define how we go to market, shape our GTM playbook, and bring a high-impact product with tangible ROI to an outdated industry that impacts everybody in the world.We are looking for someone who thrives on early traction, autonomy, and the chance to create something that matters.
