You will have built high performing sales teams before and know how to drive accountability, process and results without overcomplicating things. Coaching, hiring and developing top sales talent will be second nature to you and you will bring the energy and urgency needed to win.

• Identify and engage with the right construction projects at the right time, whether through general contractors, project owners, or trade partners.
• Drive new business acquisition through effective prospecting, lead generation, and pipeline management strategies.
• Foster strong relationships with key accounts to maximize expansion opportunities.
• Support the exploration, launch and ongoing management of channel partners
• Actively help to sell and close deals in person and virtually, while managing and mentoring the sales team.
• Serve as a Brand Ambassador, representing the company at live and virtual events

About you 

We’re looking for someone who embodies the mindset and behaviours that drive success at Timescapes. Here’s what “great” looks like in this role:

• Innovative: You’re looking forward, not back. You consistently identify and explore new ideas, tools and perspectives.
• Analytical & Data-Driven:  You are analytical and data-driven, with a test-learn-iterate mindset.
• Track Record of Success: You’ve consistently achieved outstanding results in past sales leadership roles at high growth ConTech companies, exceeding sales targets and driving significant revenue growth. You thrive in fast-paced environments and are known for “getting things done” with the ability to work through ambiguity and deliver results, at pace.
• Curiosity: You ask smart questions, actively listen, and work to deeply understand our business and our customers, understanding the project lifecycle and how to position technology at the right phase
• Balance of Strategy & Execution: You’ve worked at early-stage or growth-phase tech companies, where you’ve had to balance strategy with scrappy execution. You understand what it means to sell into construction, where timing, relationships, and boots-on-the-ground knowledge matter just as much as product.

Experience & Qualifications

• 10+ years of progressive experience in sales leadership roles in the construction industry, with at least 5 years specifically managing sales teams in the North American market
• Deep familiarity with selling to or through general contractors, project owners, or subcontractors.
• Strong commercial acumen, strategic thinking and a passion for winning 
• Demonstrated experience developing and executing successful sales strategies for B2B software companies
• Strong understanding of sales methodologies 
• CRM proficiency
• Exceptional leadership, communication, negotiation and presentation skills
• Ability to analyze data, identify trends and make data-driven decisions 
• Willingness to travel frequently within North American as required

This is your chance to help build something meaningful - technology that genuinely makes construction better while working with people who care about doing great work.

We're at an exciting stage where your decisions will directly impact our trajectory as we scale globally.

We offer:

• 15 working days plus annual holiday close down 
• Competitive health insurance
• RRSP
• EAP and wellbeing
