About Muro AI

Muro AI is transforming how the $2T construction industry plans and builds. Founded by Cornell alumni, ex-founders, and former McKinsey operators, we’re building AI agents that automate the most complex, manual, and costly phase of construction: preconstruction.

We move fast, build with conviction, and obsess over delivering real impact to the people who build our world. If you want to shape how the next century of construction gets built, this is where it starts.

About The Opportunity

As our Founding Account Executive, you’ll drive Muro’s growth from founder-led sales to a scalable GTM engine. You’ll own deals end-to-end — from discovery to close — working with the founders to define our ICP, refine messaging, and make “Muro it” a phrase known across the construction world. 

Location: San Francisco (preferred) open to Remote; approximately 30% travel

Why it matters:

• Shape a category. No one owns “pre-con AI” yet - we’re charting that map
• Bridge two worlds. We’re redefining how construction meets AI — you’ll bridge human expertise with AI automation to transform how the industry works
• Drive impact. Every deal you close helps bring automation to an industry that still runs on spreadsheets

What You’ll Do

• Own the full sales cycle - from prospecting and pipeline generation to negotiation, close, and onboarding - across mid-market and enterprise clients (typically $50K+ ACV)
• Build and run multi-threaded sales campaigns engaging both operational leaders (Preconstruction Directors, Estimators) and C-suite executives
• Conduct deep discovery to understand client workflows, pain points, and ROI opportunities, translating them into tailored solutions and measurable outcomes
• Deliver compelling demos and proposals, connecting Muro’s AI capabilities to tangible preconstruction efficiency and cost savings
• Collaborate closely with founders to refine ICP, messaging, and pricing, and to build scalable sales playbooks and processes
• Represent Muro at key industry events and conferences to drive awareness, pipeline growth, and category leadership in “Pre-Con AI.”
• Partner cross-functionally with Product and Engineering to relay customer insights, shape new use cases, and influence the product roadmap

Basic Qualifications

• 2+ years of full-cycle closing experience in SaaS or fast-growing startups
• Proven track record of exceeding quota, closing $50K–$100K+ ARR deals
• Skilled in solution selling - you focus on outcomes and ROI, not features, and can tailor value to each customer’s workflow and priorities
• Strong communicator and storyteller — able to make complex AI or workflow products simple and compelling
• Highly organized and detail-oriented, with disciplined CRM hygiene (HubSpot experience a plus)
• Coachable, curious, and driven to grow in a fast-paced, early-stage environment
• Thrives in high-ownership, ambiguous settings and knows how to create structure where none exists

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience selling SaaS or AI solutions; selling to General Contractors or within the construction industry is a plus
• Proven ability to manage complex, high-value sales cycles (>$100K contracts)
• Strong understanding of construction workflows and buyer dynamics in preconstruction or operations
• Experience engaging with senior decision-makers and representing the company at industry events, trade shows, or conferences
• Familiarity with modern outbound tools such as Lemlist, Clay, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator

What You'll Get

• Ownership & Impact: Play a pivotal role in shaping how the construction industry adopts AI — your work will directly influence our growth and success.
• Speed & Urgency: We move fast and operate with high ownership — we raise the bar for ourselves and each other every day.
• Competitive compensation with a top-of-market base, uncapped commission, and benefits
• Growth Environment: Continuous learning, mentorship, and clear paths to advance as we scale our GTM team

POSITION SUMMARY

The Head of Operations and Manufacturing will own the end-to-end operational infrastructure required to bring Ripple's FDA-regulated cuffless blood pressure monitor to market and scale production. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives building from zero to one in a regulated environment: selecting contract manufacturers, standing up supply chains compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 820, establishing ISO 13485-certified quality management systems, and preparing for direct-to-patient fulfillment.

As a company preparing for 510(k) submission and commercial launch, this role is critical to ensuring we can reliably manufacture and deliver a high-quality, FDA-cleared medical device at scale. The ideal candidate brings deep experience in medical device manufacturing (particularly wearable or electro-optical devices), understands regulated hardware supply chains and design transfer, and can roll up their sleeves while building the team and processes for long-term growth.

• Oversee pilot runs and scale-up, including process validation (IQ/OQ/PQ) and manufacturing controls.

Supply Chain & Procurement

• Build and manage the end-to-end supply chain, including component sourcing, supplier qualification, and inventory management per FDA purchasing controls.
• Develop supplier relationships and negotiate terms while ensuring supply continuity, traceability, and risk mitigation.
• Implement inventory planning to balance working capital with service levels, including buffer strategies for Year 1 launch.
• Monitor and mitigate supply chain risks: component shortages, single-source dependencies, geopolitical factors, and logistics disruptions.

Quality & Regulatory Compliance

• Maintain and improve the ISO 13485-certified QMS in partnership with the quality and regulatory team, ensuring FDA 21 CFR Part 820 compliance.
• Support 510(k) submission activities related to manufacturing, including process validation documentation, DMR development, and device history records (DHR).
• Define incoming inspection, in-process controls, and final product testing consistent with the risk management file.
• Manage product certifications for a Class II device, including FDA registration, UDI compliance, and applicable international requirements.
• Lead root cause analysis and CAPA for quality issues, ensuring post-market surveillance compliance.

Fulfillment & Logistics

• Design the direct-to-patient fulfillment strategy, including 3PL selection with FDA-cleared Class II device experience.
• Establish logistics and distribution for nationwide shipping of a regulated device with chain-of-custody and traceability.
