About Build
AI for the Built World:
Build has created the agentic AI stack for institutional real estate, automating complex development and acquisitions workflows 90% faster than humans to accelerate the world’s most important built projects - digital infrastructure, energy, industrial - from concept to completion.
Our mission is to accelerate and amplify the world's most important built projects - inventing a better way to build through a collaboration between human experts and agentic AI. We envision a future where the world's buildings are driven from concept to completion, autonomously. Without delays, cost, and complexity. Enabling people to deliver a magnitude more deals. To make decisions, build relationships and create.
To start, we're partnering with the world's biggest built world institutions from $T alternative assets investors, prolific developers and even governments to push the frontier of what's possible. We’re backed by c-suite from Blackstone and OpenAI alongside the world’s best venture capital firms.
Join us in shaping the future of the Built World and exponentially accelerate your career in the process. We welcome you to do your life's work here.
About the roleThis role exists to remove constraints on Build’s growth and to manufacture upside where it should not reasonably exist. You provide judgment, problem solving, and commercial aggression. The role is obsessed with top line outcomes and treats anything slowing growth or creating asymmetric opportunity as a problem to be engineered away. This role carries direct accountability for growth rate and revenue acceleration.
You are accountable for identifying, prioritising, and eliminating the biggest impediments to Build’s growth while engineering disproportionate top line results from finite effort.
You can expect to:
- Build outbound systems that find and qualify the right people before they find us
- Own how Build is discovered - search, content, LLM answers, programmatic surfaces
- Design and run growth experiments: form the hypothesis, build it, read the data, kill it or scale it
- Create a system around company communications that compounds - case studies, thought leadership, technical posts, things that travel
- Invent distribution plays that other companies have not tried yet - referral loops, physical stunts, partnerships, events
- Build and manage the tools that make inbound work without constant human input
- Stand up the analytics that make growth legible and hold the team to what they show
- Work directly with the founding team on what to try next and why
The individual we’re looking for is someone with chips on their shoulder and something to prove. A sign of this is that you want to found after you make it big at Build.

You choose to be in something for the long run, because that’s where most of the returns are realized. - Ownership:
You take full ownership of the outcomes. You’re meticulous in your pursuits and believe you can actively shape your environment rather than adapt to it. - Customers:
You have a passion for the built world and those who shape it. You probably have a quirky hobby or story that relates to your love for building. - Integrity:
You chose to do the right thing even when it isn’t easy. - Trust:
You only work with people you can trust because it’s the only way to do truly…
