About Build
AI for the Built World: Build has created the agentic AI stack for institutional real estate, automating complex development and acquisitions workflows 90% faster than humans to accelerate the world’s most important built projects - digital infrastructure, energy, industrial - from concept to completion.
Our mission is to accelerate and amplify the world's most important built projects - inventing a better way to build through a collaboration between human experts and agentic AI. We envision a future where the world's buildings are driven from concept to completion, autonomously. Without delays, cost, and complexity. Enabling people to deliver a magnitude more deals. To make decisions, build relationships and create.
To start, we're partnering with the world's biggest built world institutions from $T alternative assets investors, prolific developers and even governments to push the frontier of what's possible. We’re backed by c-suite from Blackstone and OpenAI alongside the world’s best venture capital firms.
Join us in shaping the future of the Built World and exponentially accelerate your career in the process. We welcome you to do your life's work here.
About the role
This role exists to turn institutional asset management practice into product. This role ensures Build reflects how assets are actually operated, governed, and optimized once capital is deployed. This role is accountable for embedding best-in-class asset management practice into Build’s platform so partners can make better decisions faster, with less friction and more control.
You bring deep experience managing real assets through real cycles and convert that expertise into durable, scalable systems.
You will work closely with James SE. You can expect to:
Own domain truth across the full asset management lifecycle: onboarding, business planning, operations, leasing, capital planning, reporting, refinancing, and disposition.
Represent the asset owner’s perspective inside Build, ensuring product decisions align with institutional governance, incentives, and risk tolerance.
Drive measurable outcomes for partners by applying Build’s platform to active portfolios and operating assets.
Identify repeatable decision points where institutional best practice can be systematized and productized.
Translate asset management processes and judgment into clear workflows, metrics, and decision logic that can be embedded into software.
Work directly with partners to align Build’s product with their internal reporting, approval, and performance management processes.
Pressure-test product concepts against real operating complexity: multi-asset portfolios, third-party operators, covenants, and market volatility.
Own delivery quality from an asset management perspective. If the product fails to support real operating decisions, it is your responsibility to surface and correct it.
Build reusable abstractions that allow Build to support many assets and portfolios without bespoke configuration.
Act as a credible counterpart to asset managers, investment committees, and operating partners by speaking their language precisely.
How to win at Build
Growing Build requires a radically different approach to company building. As a company we’re focused on one outcome: winning. That means we move fast, work with intensity, and demand excellence from ourselves. We operate with intensity but create an environment that allows for a lot of fun together. The result is that we're one of the fastest shipping teams in vertical AI, partnering with the best to automate the world around us.
Performance and teamwork are the core of Build’s operation. We look for those who are able to do both, who often exhibit a particular ability for;
Velocity: You are relentless in asking the right questions to set direction. Once you find the right direction you go all-in.
Excellence: You obsess with being the best. For you, excellence is a non-negotiable standard rather than an aspiration.
Long time horizons: You choose to be in something for the long run, because that’s where most of the returns are realized.
Ownership: You take full ownership of the outcomes. You’re meticulous in your pursuits and believe you can actively shape your environment rather than adapt to it.
Customers: You have a passion for the built world and those who shape it. You probably have a quirky hobby or story that relates to your love for building.
Integrity: You chose to do the right thing even when it isn’t easy.
Trust: You only work with people you can trust because it’s the only way to do truly extraordinary things.
Yield: You have a burning need to see a result on every action you take and you’re always looking for routes to do more with less.
What we offer
Radical autonomy, real ownership: High standards. Minimal bureaucracy. You own problems end-to-end, choose how the work gets done, and are accountable for exceptional outcomes. Ownership is matched with meaningful, generous equity.
An accelerated founder’s track: Build is for builders. If you want to learn what it actually takes to create a generational company – Product judgment, execution speed, and accountability – there is no faster path than building from zero when everything is for grabs.
Elite teammates, uncompromising bar: You work with people who think clearly, execute relentlessly, and take full ownership. The team you build becomes the company you build. Growth here is not just professional; it reshapes how you operate and in return how Build operates.
Perpetual adventure: We attract the strongest of the strange. Extraordinary experiences are part of the culture - from the food we eat together to the space we occupy. Intensity is intentional.
Shape the built world: We are rebuilding how the physical world gets made. Our software doesn’t live in the abstract - it turns into real projects breaking ground because we exist. We work with the largest institutions, push the frontier of AI, and watch our decisions translate directly into the world around us.
