Hello, We’re Built In

What We’re Up To 

Built In is creating the largest global platform for tech professionals — a place where millions come every month to stay ahead of trends, grow their careers, and discover companies they believe in. We’re not just a job board — we’re the go-to destination for tech talent to engage with the future of their industry.

Our community spans the globe, and our 1,800+ customers range from breakout startups to Fortune 100 giants. They partner with us to tell authentic stories about their cultures, showcase opportunities, and attract the most in-demand talent — whether local, global, or remote. In doing so, Built In fuels the hiring pipelines of the world’s most innovative companies and advances the tech industry’s ability to shape a better future.

What You’ll Be a Part Of 

While we’ve been around for 14 years, we operate with the urgency and ambition of a startup — shipping fast, staying close to customers, and constantly evolving. As a category leader in the tech talent marketplace, we’re looking for a sales leader who can drive performance, scale what’s working, and coach a team that’s core to our next chapter of growth.

You’ll be joining a team that values curiosity, accountability, and being good humans first. Our leadership team has worked together for 4 to 10+ years, and we’ve built a culture rooted in trust, transparency, and shared success. If you’re looking to do the best work of your career alongside people who care deeply about the mission and each other — you’ll fit right in.

We’re looking for an Enterprise Account Executive 

As an Enterprise Account Executive, you will be responsible for selling new business to Talent Acquisition leaders within large, enterprise companies. You must be someone who is driven to surpass goals while delivering a great experience to prospects, clients, and coworkers. We’re looking for someone who knows what it takes to build something from the ground up, treats the job like their own business, and thrives on daily learning. You’re a proven closer with experience working with enterprise accounts in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. You have a track record of success selling against established incumbents and navigating complex sales cycles. You’ve demonstrated consistent performance in both up and down markets, showing resilience, adaptability, and strategic thinking under pressure.

How you’ll contribute
  • Industry Knowledge - This is an industry that requires education. People and costs are two of the most important things to effectively run a business, yet data and attribution can be hard to come by to measure tools within the people and talent acquisition space. You will need to be constantly upleveling yourself with what is going on in the market and how that could impact our customers and/or our audience that they’d like to reach.
  • Account Mapping + Relationship Building - To successfully navigate to global budgets within the enterprise, it will be critical to understand org structures and how buying decisions are made across your prospects.
  • Drive Value - While you will have a sales development rep working closing with you, it is your responsibility to convert your pipeline. This means adding value on your calls but also in any touchpoint along the sales process. In a time where everyone is getting inundated with spam emails, how do you stand out and how do you add value in a way to stand out?
  • Ownership - You will be one of two Enterprise Account Executives so there is an added level of responsibility to fully own your results and a huge opportunity with a lot of TAM. You need to enjoy the good and bad that comes with running your own business and helping us improve along the way. With ownership also comes owning your number and hitting (or exceeding!) your target.
What you need
  • 5+ years of full cycle sales experience
  • 2+ years of full cycle enterprise experience
  • Experience navigating complex buying groups as an enterprise level environment
  • Ability to meet or exceed one million dollars in revenue target per year
  • Proven ability to generate new business
  • Ability to strongly influence decision makers at C and VP levels
  • Experience working with Salesforce or another CRM preferred
  • Excellent understanding of sales process, forecasting and pipeline management
  • HR or Recruiting sales experience is strongly preferred
What We Value

We’re revolutionizing tech recruitment. So we question everything, because the best answers sit just to the right of a question mark. That’s our heritage as a disruptive company — as a company whose future depends on our capacity to innovate with a sense of drive, purpose and urgency. If you join Built In, you will work from this set of values: 

  • Be Inclusive, Always. We’re committed to a culture where all people are respected, have a say and can be their whole selves. We will uplift and advocate for one another. Always.
  • Be Unreasonably Passionate. Our passion is borderline obsessive, and we’re ok with that. No one ever built anything great on a “meh.” We work with outsized passion to fulfill our mission.
  • Be Humble. You don’t have all the answers. Luckily, you don’t have to. Don’t worry about being right. Be humble instead. 
  • Stay Curious. Curiosity is a springboard to the future. It can transform the wisp of an idea into a breakthrough. We ask “what if.” We work with wonder. It’s how we innovate.
  • Lead with Solutions. Question everything. But offer solutions as you do. Raise issues. But propose a few answers. For every hole you poke, offer a way to patch it up. 
  • Own the Result. We have no time for blame or shame. When you stumble, own it, learn from it + get back to business. 
  • Do More. Do more than your job description. Take initiative. Take charge. No job is beneath you, and no job is too big. Be a leader and do more — do whatever it takes. 
Be Inclusive, Always

Research shows that women and other marginalized groups tend to apply to roles only when they check every point on a job description. We encourage you to apply if you meet the majority of qualifications and this role is aligned with your career trajectory. 

Built In is an equal employment opportunity employer.  Qualified candidates are considered for employment without regard to race, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, age, military or veteran status, disability, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.

Built In is guided by principles of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). We are committed to this work over the long-term, but here’s some of what’s in place today:

  • We have five thriving ERG groups: Built In For The People, BuiltOut, United We Parent, Women United in Tech and Built In Tribe. 
  • We have a dedicated Director, HR + Inclusion who oversees our DEI roadmap, which provides our annual metrics, goals and initiatives. 
  • We are proud to be led by a woman CEO and founder, and that more than half of our managers and employees identify as women

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
