Full Job Description
ABOUT BUILD AI for the Built World. We help institutional real estate teams automate complex development and acquisitions workflows so important projects can move from concept to completion faster, with less cost, delay, and operational drag. We do this through our suite of AI workers that can complete complex workflows in a small fraction of the time it takes the rest of industry.

You will be working with CIOs, heads of acquisitions, and development directors at some of the world's largest real estate institutions. You need to understand their world, speak their language, and make the case for Build in terms that resonate with people who have seen every vendor pitch imaginable. Build has an insanely strong inbound motion through word of mouth and your job is to evolve the playbook so closing becomes clockwork. You will work directly with the founders, own the
