Country Manager, UK

Country Manager, UK Monumental http://monumental.co/ is automating on-site construction with cutting-edge robotics and software. Our mission is to redefine construction through software and robots. We aim for a future where beautiful, bespoke buildings are built within a single day with minimal labor. Our company is on a real rocket ship trajectory, with extremely strong customer demand forcing us to scale the team as fast as we can today. We’ve proven that our technology and operational model works in the Netherlands, and are ready to scale as fast as we can in the UK. We’re a growing team (about 100 team members) of mostly engineers and technicians, coming from companies like Palantir, Qualcomm, Dyson, Shopify, Tesla, Meta and 1X. It’s still the early days of building the company, and this is a unique opportunity to be an early employee in a high-growth, high-ambition startup environment. From Day 1, you’ll be able to work with an experienced founding team backed by top-tier investors.

ABOUT THE ROLE We’re looking for an extremely entrepreneurial operator. You’re going to be our first Country Manager ever, and the UK is the first country we’re expanding to, so this is not going to be a role where you’ll follow some playbook to establish a new market: you’re going to figure out and write the playbook yourself, the hard and complicated way. 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. If the prospect of deploying cutting-edge technology, in an operationally complex environment that hasn’t seen change for over a century, while doing sales and building up a local team doesn’t daunt you, then you should definitely read on and apply. This is going to be an extremely high-impact role, with a large amount of autonomy and day-to-day variation. You’ll get high level goals (see below) but no one will tell you what to do or manage you on a daily basis. WHAT YOU’LL ACHIEVE IN YOUR FIRST YEAR - 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 UK 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 UK team with members from our Dutch team so you can hit the ground running and have an easier time bootstrapping Monumental’s unique culture in a new location. - Manage our fleet of robots and figuring out with the rest of the HQ team how to manage our first remote fleet. - Set up whatever local facilities will be needed in the UK, from a small office to a potential storage/maintenance hub. - Stand up the required legal structure for us to operate and scale in the UK. This includes setting up local entities, navigating local employment laws, and all other relevant regulation. You’re comfortable navigating complicated questions that involve new technology in old industries, liaising with the right counsel when n ... (truncated, view full listing at source)
