About Rundoo ℹ️
Our mission is to empower independent supply stores with best-in-class technology. Think of your local hardware store or mom-and-pop nursery—these are our clients. From paint to lumber to flooring, over 200,000 such stores across the country sell over $1T of building materials annually using outdated, on-premises systems. We’re aiming to help them modernize so that they can continue to thrive.
Backed by leading investors including Bessemer and CRV, we've raised $18M across three rounds and are growing quickly. Our team is made up of builders, sellers, and industry veterans with a shared goal: to bring modern technology to an overlooked industry.
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, and work closely with a team of peers who do the same role in other regions: Kyle, 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: $92K
Uncapped Commission (On-Target Earnings): $192K
In addition to base and commission, you’ll receive an equity package.
Requirements ✅
You live in the Chicago / Chicagoland area and can work from our office ~50% of the time.
You are excited to close deals and carry a quota.
You have a valid U.S. driver’s license.
You’re energized by frequent travel (~50%) across your assigned states.
You love building strong relationships with customers: from first conversation through close.
Icing on the cake 🎂
You've successfully closed new business deals in the $15K–$20K ARR range, especially at Series A startups or companies in a similar growth stage.
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.
You love friendly competition and thrive in a high-performance team.
You’ve sold a product that is new to the market or required process change for the customer.
