Senior Enterprise Account Executive – Construction & Built Environment SaaS – UK

Private Equity-backed SaaS | Construction ERP | UK (Location flexible)

This is a rare chance to step into a senior enterprise new business role with a profitable, private equity-backed SaaS business that has successfully spun out from a much larger organisation. The company is financially stable, cash-rich, and scaling with purpose. With c.250 employees and more than 3,000 customers across SMB and Enterprise, the business is already a recognised leader in the construction software space.

The platform is a product-leading SaaS solution purpose-built for the construction industry. It solves real operational and commercial problems for CFOs, Commercial Directors, Operations Directors and CTOs and replaces legacy, outdated systems that are still widespread across the market. This creates a genuine growth opportunity since there is significant whitespace of construction firms still running old-school solutions, alongside strong competitive displacement opportunities where modern SaaS is winning out.

The leadership team is experienced, commercially sharp, and supportive. The business is profitable with strong EBITDA performance and is backed by a PE partner that is focused on scaling the go-to-market engine. This is a platform with momentum, a clear product advantage, and a very real growth story.

Compensation upside is generous, with strong on-target earnings for high performers.
