Founding Seller Opportunity
efficiently is the system of record for design intent in high-end residential construction. We sit in the chaos layer between design and constructionwhere emails, PDFs, and spreadsheets create ambiguity that costs GCs real money. We replace guesswork with governed decisions. We protect margin.
We're not selling software. We're selling certainty to the party who pays for mistakes.
The Role
We're hiring a founding sellernot a rep who needs leads, not a manager who wants a team. Someone who knows construction, knows GC Owners, and knows how to run a consultative sales process that earns trust before it asks for anything.
You will:
Own the full sales cyclefrom outbound prospecting to closed dealEngage through pilot deliveryyou don't throw deals over a wall; you stay with the client through first project successWork directly with foundersno layers, no bureaucracyHelp build the playbooknot inherit one
This is a quota-carrying, client-facing, hunt-and-close role. If you want to manage, this isn't it. If you want to win, keep reading.
What You'll Do
Phase - Ownership
Prospecting - Build and work your own pipeline; leverage SDR support for outbound
Discovery - Qualify on pain, authority, and projectnot features
Close - Propose, negotiate, and close pilot projects (DIA engagements)
Engagement - Own client relationship through pilot success; bridge to DIA operations team
Expansion - Turn one project into a portfolio relationship
