About Sitemate

Sitemate is the front line AI company for the built world. We build software and AI agents for construction, engineering, manufacturing, and energy companies, helping field teams capture work as it happens and the business turn that activity into structured, auditable records. The Sitemate platforms include Dashpivot, Gearbelt, the Sitemate App, and Flowsite, and Sitemate’s AI agent is called Storm.

Storm is our AI agent layer, working underneath Dashpivot, Gearbelt, the Sitemate App, and Flowsite to turn what happens on-site into structured, auditable records.

We’ve achieved strong product-market fit - generating thousands of new monthly leads through word-of-mouth and organic marketing alone.

Backed by Blackbird, Australia and New Zealand’s #1 venture capital firm, and a graduate of the Startmate Accelerator, Sitemate has grown from 5 people in 2018 to over 150 across 18+ countries.

Day-to-Day

Own a portfolio of SMB customers as their main point of contact post-sale, building strong relationships and trust.
Run onboarding and activation: Set success plans, configure accounts, train users, and guide customers to their first wins quickly.
Prescribe best-practice workflows: Recommend how to configure Sitemate for different operational use cases across heavy industries.
Drive adoption through proactive check-ins, enablement, and ongoing education (calls, emails, Looms, and in-app guidance where relevant).
Monitor account health: Track usage signals, sentiment, and risks, then take action early to prevent churn.
Identify growth opportunities (where appropriate): Look for expansion signals, additional teams/sites, and new use cases, then send them through to the Account Management team to action them.
Be the internal voice of the customer: Share product feedback, recurring pain points, and what’s working well to inform priorities and improvements.
Stay organised: Send recap emails after ever meeting, set follow up tasks in Salesforce, and book in follow-ups to operate with clarity and consistency.

Challenges

Balancing a portfolio across the journey: You’ll have customers at different stages (new onboarding, configuring account, started usage, activated, at risk, etc), so prioritisation is key.
Pace and learning curve: We move quickly and expect high ownership. The first few months involve a lot of product, process, and industry context, this environment suits someone who likes learning fast.
Complex, practical environments: Our customers operate in heavy industries with real constraints (sites, crews, shifting priorities). You’ll need to be pragmatic and outcome-focused.
Tough conversations: You’ll sometimes need to address low engagement, push for action, or reset expectations, professionally and confidently.
Strong operating standards: We have clear SOPs and ways of working. If you’re used to “making it up as you go,” you may need to unlearn some habits and lean into the engineered structure.

Who This Role Is For

This role will suit you if you:
- Enjoy building relationships and helping customers achieve outcomes (not just answering questions).
- Are organised and proactive, you like planning your week, tracking follow-ups, and staying ahead of risks.
- Have strong customer-facing experience (hospitality, retail, admin, operations, support, account management, etc.) and want to move into tech.
- Learn quickly and bring a growth mindset: You seek feedback, apply it, and improve your approach.
- Are a problem solver who can diagnose what’s happening, propose a solution, and guide the customer through change.
- Like working in a team that values clarity, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Who This Role is Not For

This role is likely not a fit if you:
- Prefer purely reactive work (e.g. only handling inbound support) rather than proactively managing a portfolio.
- Struggle to juggle multiple priorities or find it difficult to manage your time independently.
- Avoid customer calls or find it uncomfortable to lead conversations, influence stakeholders, or drive next steps.
- Prefer highly slow-paced environments with low change and minimal process.
- Want a role with minimal structure, this team runs with standard Operating Principals, clear expectations, and performance standards.
