Launching GTM, US

Monumental is automating on-site construction with robotics and software. Our mission is to make construction software-defined and autonomous - a future where beautiful, bespoke buildings go up in a single day, with minimal labor

We're a growing team of engineers, operators and technicians from companies like Palantir, Qualcomm, Dyson, Shopify, Tesla, Meta, WaveOptics and Google DeepMind. It's still the early days of building the company, and this is a chance to make an outsized impact on a problem that matters. From day one, you’ll be working with an experienced founding team backed by top-tier investors.

You'll be part of our launching US team - this is a first-in-market position. To get you started, we'll cover travel and accommodation a period of onboarding at Monumental HQ, in the city centre of Amsterdam - at our beautiful facility with an in-house workshop and robot testing floor. We're explicitly not a hybrid or remote-first company - you can't build robots or walls from home, so we're onsite five days a week.

About the role

We're looking for an entrepreneurial operator. You'll sit at the front line of our commercial engine. This is our first commercial hire in the US. You'll be on the ground, opening a brand-new market from scratch as we expand beyond Europe.

Monumental is unique in that we're completely vertically-integrated. We design and build our own hardware and software, we manufacture the robots in-house, and we deploy them on construction sites ourselves, with our own team, operating as a subcontractor.

Your job is not just to "book meetings" or "support sales", your job is to help build repeatable commercial momentum in a project-based industry that doesn't change easily.

We build cutting-edge technology, but we sell the old-fashioned way: by showing up, walking the site, and earning trust in person. If you're looking for a remote-first sales role, this isn't it. Construction rewards presence, not polished slides.

You'll work closely with our Deployment leadership, Country Managers and founders to identify the right customers, open doors, qualify real opportunities and scope the technical achievability, and move them forward toward live deployments.

We call this role GTM, not because it's trendy, but because in construction, "sales" only works when go-to-market, operations, and delivery actually line up. You'll spend time on calls, site visits, and internal coordination with our forward deployed engineers. You'll learn how construction projects are actually sold, how decisions are made, and how our technology fits into real-world projects.

We are unable to support relocation or sponsorship for this role. Applicants must be based in the US, eligible to work willing for frequent travel between the US and the Netherlands.

What you'll do

• Figure out how to go from small construction pilot deployments to ongoing commercial deployments, and then scale to multiple concurrent deployments. We expect you to act as the initial Deployment Manager https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/monumental/00752a36-8a0c-4f6b-b5db-7f63b1822710 in the US so you can build up enough tacit knowledge before scaling up.

• Ensure there is always more than sufficient demand for our product. Our sales tends to be low-lift work, but you should still be excellent at it and always have the feeling that you're short on supply to meet the demand you've generated.

• Hire, onboard, and manage a local team of robot and deployment operators that will operate our robots and other tasks on construction sites. We're planning to seed the US team with members from our Dutch team so you can hit the ground running and more easily bootstrap Monumental's unique culture in a new location.

• Manage our fleet of robots and, with the rest of the HQ team, figure out how to manage a remote fleet across the Atlantic.

• Set up whatever local facilities will be needed in the US, from a small office to a potential storage or maintenance hub.

• Stand up the required legal structure for us to operate and scale in the US. This includes setting up local entities, navigating state and federal employment law, and all other relevant regulation. You're comfortable navigating complicated questions that involve new technology in old industries, liaising with the right counsel when needed.

What we’re looking for

• Minimum of 6 years of experience in a chaotic, entrepreneurial, high-growth, unstructured environment. This could be as a startup founder, GM, sales, operations, business development or a similar area where you've seen rapid growth, and where we don't need to explain to you why grit and resilience are important character traits for this role.

• A strong bias-to-action and getting-shit-done mentality with the required tenacity and speed. The emphasis of this role is execution, not making decks.

• You're able to context switch from strategic work to very practical work throughout the day, and nothing feels beneath you. There will be days where in the morning you're literally getting your feet dirty, helping carry mortar on a construction site, while interviewing senior candidates in the afternoon.

• A strong strategic business sense. You have proven experience doing sales, pricing, negotiations, and account management. You're comfortable being responsible for the P&L of your deployments and the entire US operation.

• You're an excellent communicator. You need to be comfortable chatting with people from all over the construction industry, from billionaire real estate developers to junior tradesmen on the construction site.

• You have experience hiring and managing a team and you understand the importance of filtering for and instilling the right culture. You'll be responsible for hiring the initial team in the US.

• Raw intellectual horsepower and eagerness to learn. We expect this role to have a steep learning curve whatever your background, and this role might in practice feel like a completely new job every 3-6 months.

• Willingness for frequent travel between the US and the Netherlands. We expect you to spend a significant amount of time in the Netherlands in the first 3-6 months for onboarding and immersion, and then likely some travel cadence after.

• A child-like excitement and optimism to be building the future, with robots, that will build houses for people to live in.
