RundooAbout the role
General
What we do 🪵
Our mission is to empower building materials suppliers with great technology. There are over $1,000,000,000,000 of building materials bought in the US every year, and many of these transactions happen in on-prem point-of-sale systems. We want to bring these transactions online, enabling better experiences for contractors and homeowners alike.
What you'll achieve with us 🥇
You'll be on the ground floor of a high-growth, venture-backed startup reshaping how building materials retailers run their businesses.
You'll be based out of Chicago / Chicagoland and lead the entire sales process from lead generation to close. This role is primarily outbound sales through a combination of inside and outside sales strategies. You’ll report to Rundoo’s Head of Sales Matt, and work closely with a team of peers who do the same role in other regions: Kyle, Erin, Ryan, Sam, and Andy. Plus, you will collaborate closely with industry veterans like Reggie and a team of accomplished implementation professionals and BDRs.
You’ll spend about 50% of your time in-person in office, collaborating closely with team members, and 50% traveling throughout your territory to meet customers in-person.
We use Carta Total Rewards to benchmark a competitive compensation package:
Base Salary: $70K–90K
Uncapped Commission (On-Target Earnings): $160K–180K
In addition to base and commission, you’ll receive an equity package.

You have experience hunting and closing net-new business in a field sales role.
You’re familiar with the building materials or construction supply industry: ideally retail.
