Full-time
We invite a dynamic and entrepreneurial Account Executive to be an integral part of the Trayd sales organization, driving critical revenue growth. As the founding Account Executive, you will work closely with the CEO and CRO to shape the company's go-to-market strategy, build and manage a high-quality sales pipeline, and close key deals that move the business forward. This is a unique opportunity to join at a exciting inflection point, influence the company's trajectory, and grow into a leadership role as the sales team scales. The ideal candidate is a self-starter who thrives in ambiguity, is passionate about listening and solving customer problems, and has a proven track record of selling in fast-paced startup environments.
Trayd HQ is located in Soho, Manhattan but remote candidates will be considered. This role will report directly to the CEO. To apply, please email your resume to talent@buildtrayd.com.
What is Trayd?
Trayd is building the operating system for commercial construction: payroll, compliance, and back office workflows that actually work in the real world.
Construction is one of the biggest industries in North America, and it still runs on a messy mix of spreadsheets, legacy payroll providers, and manual processes that break the moment things get even slightly complex. The people doing the work are the hardest working people in the country, and the companies running crews are forced to spend hours every week fighting systems that were never built for them.
We’re changing that.
Trayd started with a simple promise: construction workers should be able to access the money they already earned faster, and subcontractors should be able to run payroll without chaos. Today, we’re building deeper infrastructure across payroll, union rules, job costing, and accounting workflows so our customers can run their businesses with confidence. We’re in the next phase of growth, with accelerating customer demand and a platform that runs real payroll every week, and we’re scaling engineering to match it.
