J oin nPlan — build the cities of the future

We’re nPlan, a Series B startup backed by leading investors, including Google Ventures. Our technology helps the world’s biggest construction projects make faster, more confident, data-driven decisions. Our customers are the largest owner/operators of energy, utility and mass transit in the world, such as Chevron, Network Rail and National Grid.

By combining one of the world’s largest datasets of project plans with advanced machine learning, we forecast project outcomes and reduce risk — reshaping how major projects in construction and infrastructure get built.

The Role

We are looking for someone to join us at an exciting time for nPlan, as we expand our category-creating product set to deliver against the full project controls loop and drive the next stage of our growth. This role, reporting into the CTO and sitting on the Senior Leadership Team, will not only be an instrumental leader driving delivery against this vision but also lead from the front in adopting new ways of working adapted to a world where building is faster and cheaper than ever before, thanks to evolutions in AI tools.

We are looking for someone who can drive both exceptional execution - think shipping products in months not years - and also partner with our CTO, SLT, and wider team to shape the vision for our product offering. You will have had prior experience at a B2B, enterprise-focused Series A-C scale-up, will be fluent in the technology behind AI systems, and be customer obsessed. You will lead a team that combines both product and customer-facing deployment engineers, bringing a customer focus to the role and company.
