General Manager, Lender Business

As General Manager of Lender, you are the CEO of Built's primary customer segment. You own the segment's revenue, strategy, and execution. You lead a high-performance sales organization, manage a substantial P&L, and drive go-to-market strategy across enterprise banks, regional banks, and private credit. You report directly to the President and operate as a key member of the senior leadership team. You are expected to operate with board-level strategic capacity while maintaining the grit to dive into and solve complex enterprise deal and product cycles. You will shape how Built builds, sells, grows, and wins in the market.

Your primary mission: drive exponential growth within the Lender segment and expand Built's product footprint across the financial institutions that power construction and real estate finance.

• Expand the product footprint across the Lender base, including: loan administration software, deal, asset and portfolio management software, marketplace and transactional offerings, agentic and AI offerings, payments and fintech – and new offerings as they come to market.
• Identify and pursue market expansion opportunities: new segments, adjacencies, and whitespace in the construction finance ecosystem.

• Navigate complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise deal cycles within financial institutions. Understand how banks and financial institutions buy, how risk committees evaluate, and how procurement operates.
• Build and maintain executive-level relationships with C-suite leaders at target institutions. Act as the face and leader of Built's Lender business in the market.
• Collaborate with your Account Management leadership on customer lifecycle strategy, ensuring seamless transitions from sale to long-term partnership.

We hire and promote against these principles. They define how we work, how we lead, and how we make decisions.

We pursue the biggest problems in our industry, challenge assumptions others take for granted, and take calculated risks to get there. We don't hide behind consensus or committees. Playing it safe is just failing slowly.

What this looks like at your level: You advocate for strategic pricing or packaging changes that require short-term risk for long-term market positioning. You make bold bets on channel partnerships and competitive posture. You challenge the executive team when the go-to-market strategy needs to evolve.

We learn our customers' businesses deeply. We treat their capital like our own. We ship leverage, not features. And we measure ourselves by customer results, not our intentions.

What this looks like at your level: You set the standard that sales at Built is about helping customers succeed in construction finance. You ensure the sales org is structured to support long-term customer relationships and build executive-level partnerships that go beyond the vendor relationship.

We bias toward delivery over perfection, remove friction from our own paths, and communicate in real time. Momentum compounds, and we build it every day.

What this looks like at your level: You set the pace for the go-to-market organization. Urgency is paired with strategic focus so the team is closing the right deals, not just more deals. Revenue targets and operating cadences reflect Built's growth ambition.

We own outcomes, not just tasks. We hold a high Say:Do ratio and take responsibility from idea through impact. When something breaks, we fix it.

What this looks like at your level: You hold the go-to-market organization accountable to revenue commitments. Every deal, every account, and every market segment has a named owner. Built's sales execution is a source of trust with customers, investors, and the board.

We raise the bar continuously. We stay curious, hold exacting standards, debate hard, and hold our opinions loosely when the evidence shifts. Excellence is a habit, not an event.

What this looks like at your level: You define what world-class sales execution looks like at Built. You invest in sales analytics and enablement infrastructure that helps the team learn and improve faster. A good quarter is never a reason to stop improving.
