Founding Business Development Lead (UAE/Pakistan)

Salary: PKR 80,000 - 190,000

We are looking for a Founding Business Development Lead to join Lexilio — an AI-powered platform that helps construction teams review contracts in under 2 minutes. We are backed by multi LLM models, supporting FIDIC, NEC, JCT, and AIA standards, and are preparing for our first enterprise pilots.

This is a founding team role. You will be our first GTM hire, owning the entire sales pipeline from prospecting to close. We are looking for someone with construction industry relationships who wants equity in a high-growth startup rather than a safe salary.

Tasks:

Identify and reach out to construction firms, consultancies, QS practices, and procurement teams across UK and Middle East markets

Own the full sales cycle — from first conversation to signed pilot agreement

Build relationships with contract managers, project directors, and legal teams who review construction contracts daily

Represent Lexilio at industry events, conferences (CFMA, NEC Users Group, FIDIC events), and on Social media.

Feed real customer insights back to the product team to shape the roadmap

Help define pricing, packaging, and go-to-market positioning based on market conversations

Requirements:

Direct experience in the construction industry — you have worked at a contractor, subcontractor, consultancy, QS firm, or construction tech company

Existing network of contacts in construction procurement, legal, or project management

Comfortable with early-stage ambiguity — no playbook exists yet, you will write it

Strong communicator who can explain AI-powered contract review to non-technical buyers

Self-starter who can work independently and hit targets without micromanagement

Based in or connected to Pakistan and/or Middle East construction markets

Nice to have:

Experience selling SaaS or tech products to construction companies

Understanding of FIDIC, NEC, JCT, or AIA contract standards

Existing relationships with BIG firms

Compensation:

Significant founding equity (we are pre-seed, this is a ground-floor opportunity)

Base salary negotiable depending on experience and commitment level

Remote-first with flexibility

This is not a corporate sales job. This is a chance to build the GTM engine of a construction AI company from scratch. If you have the network and the ambition, we want to hear from you.
