Founding Account Executive

🚧 First Sales Hire / Founding Sales

Construction Tech

Salary: 30,000 sek fixed + 30,000 sek bonus

West Sweden (Field-based)

 

About the Opportunity

We’re hiring the first commercial hire for an early-stage company building AI-powered video surveillance for construction sites.

 

This is a product solving real, high-cost problems in the field:

• Theft
• Safety risks
• Lack of site visibility & control

 

By combining smart AI technology with in-house installation, the solution is designed for real-world use, not just theory.

 

Now, the founders are looking for a Founding Sales profile to build and own the commercial side from day one.

 

🚀 The Role

This is not a “plug-and-play” sales role.

You will be responsible for:

• Opening new accounts within the construction industry
• Prospecting and driving outbound sales activity
• Booking and leading meetings with site managers and decision-makers
• Owning the full sales cycle (first contact → close)
• Helping define sales strategy, structure, and go-to-market

👉 This is a true hunter role with full ownership.

 

✅ What We’re Looking For

Must-have:

• Proven track record in sales
• Strong new business / outbound experience
• Comfortable selling into construction environments

Highly preferred:

• Experience selling into construction
• (e.g. workwear, equipment, services, site solutions)

Strong signal backgrounds:

• Experience from competitors such as VideoTech Sweden or similar

 

🧠 Profile & Mindset

• You understand and speak the “construction language”
• You have an existing network within the industry
• You are a true hunter — proactive, persistent, resilient
• You’re comfortable being in the field, meeting customers face-to-face
• You’re self-driven and thrive in ambiguity
• You have the ambition to build something long-term
• You’re motivated by the opportunity to become a co-owner

 

💰 What’s on Offer

• Equity-first compensation model (ownership-focused)
• Base salary + high-performance upside
• Opportunity to become a key commercial leader
• Direct collaboration with founders
• Ability to build the sales function from scratch
• Massive impact on company growth

 

📍 Location

• West Sweden (required)

 

🎯 Why This Role?

This is a rare opportunity to:

• Join at the ground floor
• Take full ownership of sales & growth
• Build toward equity and long-term wealth
• Sell a product with clear, immediate value in a traditional industry
