Buildscout was founded with a clear mission: to empower property and construction professionals by transforming planning application data into valuable business opportunities.


Backed by Searchland, the UK's leading B2B PropTech company, Buildscout is at an exciting stage of growth. Our platform combines data, technology, and insight to help professionals uncover and act on opportunities faster and more intelligently.

Build a structured feedback loop with Customer Success and Design to inform product decisions. Regularly engage with users to understand pain points, validate assumptions, and ensure releases deliver measurable value.

Innovative - excited to explore new ideas and push boundaries. Decisive & confident - comfortable making calls when needed. Highly collaborative - excellent at connecting teams and driving clarity.
