About Beam

Every housing and infrastructure project in America is slowed down by stacks of paperwork, manual administrative tasks, and poor financial tracking. Beam builds the software and financial tools to automate these tedious parts of construction—helping America’s builders focus on what they do best.

Beam’s product helps construction businesses incorporate fintech and AI into their workflows, from project estimating to bill payments to expense management—driving massive efficiency gains, ultimately enabling more projects to get off the ground.

Beam is backed by Accel, Zigg, Susa, and other top venture investors. Our team is in-person in a beautiful office in the Financial District of San Francisco. Our team previously worked at Stripe, Pipe, Traba, Fieldwire, and more.

Create and run Beam’s sales engine, with a focus on top of funnel.

As one of the first sales hires, you’ll work cross-functionally to build our sales pipeline from the top down. You’ll be responsible for generating, hunting, qualifying, and converting leads using both outbound and inbound techniques. As the business grows, you’ll have opportunities to oversee our sales operations and onboard or manage teammates. You may establish new partnerships, design new GTM playbooks, and work creatively to optimize existing channels.
