About the Job
BuildOps is transforming how commercial contractors run their businesses by providing a modern, operations‑focused platform that connects field, office, and finance. Joining the team means:

Working in a dynamic, growth‑oriented environment where your programs directly impact revenue.

Partnering with high‑caliber Sales, RevOps, and Marketing leaders who genuinely care about alignment and shared outcomes.

Having the mandate to experiment with AI and new approaches to define what “world‑class ABM” looks like for our category.

If you want to build and scale an ABM engine that sellers love and use AI to push what’s possible, we’d love to talk.

Who You Are

You focus on the work and thrive where strategy meets execution. You love working shoulder‑to‑shoulder with sellers, understand their world, and build campaigns that help them win the hardest deals. You’re curious, outcome‑driven, and comfortable pushing for better—grounding your opinions in data.

You know how to turn account insight into coordinated plays that create momentum, deepen relationships, and accelerate revenue. You understand that great 1:1 ABM is not just campaigns — it’s orchestration. You know how to align Sales, SDRs, RevOps, Product Marketing, executives, and customer‑facing teams around a shared account strategy. You’re comfortable operating in ambiguity, influencing without authority, and balancing strategic thinking with hands‑on execution.

You are also excited about how AI is transforming ABM — from account research and stakeholder mapping to personalization, insight synthesis, and workflow automation. You actively use AI tools to increase speed, quality, and sophistication in your work.

As a Senior ABM Manager at BuildOps, you will lead highly personalized 1:1 ABM programs for a focused set of Strategic and Enterprise accounts. You will act as an extension of the account team to help drive pipeline creation, accelerate opportunities, and support BuildOps’ move upmarket.
