As an Account Executive, you'll generate new revenue for a construction tech company by solving customer challenges through AR solutions, managing accounts and driving sales strategies within the Mission Critical sector.
Summary Generated by Built In

A ground-breaking & award-winning Construction Technology company; XYZ Reality are the creators of the world's first and only engineering-grade Augmented Reality solution, purpose-built for the construction industry. Not only have we created this technology, that sits within The Atom – a smart, site-safe headset and hardhat - but we implement it on major Mission Critical (Data Centres, Oil & Gas, Pharmaceutical, Aviation) projects, utilising the power of AR to ensure that all schemes are completed in line with the delivery timescales and budgets.

Overview

As Account Executive – Mission Critical, you will be directly responsible for driving new revenue through the development and execution of strategic territory and account plans within mission-critical construction sectors (data centres, pharma, healthcare, nuclear, semiconductor, and related industries).

Leveraging your deep construction and enterprise sales experience, you will identify, qualify, and close complex opportunities by solving customer challenges through the XYZ Reality platform. You will act as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders, articulating clear business value, ROI, and risk reduction while building long-term, influential partnerships across your accounts.

This role is focused on new account acquisition and strategic account expansion, managing sophisticated, multi-stakeholder sales cycles from initial engagement through contract negotiation, close, and post-sale alignment. You will carry annual and quarterly targets and operate as a core member of the revenue organization.

  • Navigate complex deal structures, including enterprise-level negotiations, procurement processes, and contractual requirements

  • Support and respond to RFPs / formal bid processes where required, partnering closely with internal stakeholders

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with Marketing, SDRs, Revenue Operations, Professional Services, and Delivery teams to drive new business and expansion

  • Partner internally to align technical solutions, services strategy, and commercial structures to customer needs

  • Leverage partner relationships to strengthen account strategy and accelerate deal velocity

Market & Competitive Intelligence

  • Stay informed on industry trends, competitor activity, and market dynamics within mission-critical construction
