  • Ensure full transparency and compliance within the CRM (Salesforce) to track pipeline, account mapping, and executive outreach.
  • Represent the company’s brand at major industry trade shows and events to promote geographic reach and safety excellence.
  • Conduct regular reviews of sales pipelines to ensure reps are meeting activity targets and conversion goals.
  • Communicate regularly with the CEO and Board of Directors regarding enterprise growth, revenue contribution, and strategic roadmap progress.

  • Enterprise Sales: Proven track record of managing large-scale accounts across multiple geographies and negotiating MSAs.
  • Market Knowledge: Deep understanding of the commercial construction lifecycle and the "mushrooming" effect within large GC organizations.
