We are looking for a new business-focused Account Executive with excellent customer-facing skills, strong technical aptitude, and a track record of selling enterprise software solutions to large USA utilities and/or large System Integrators (SIs). This is a great opportunity for someone who thrives in a competitive, dynamic environment with an overwhelming drive to hunt new logos and close new business.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify and pursue new business opportunities for our Utilities Software solutions, with a primary focus on net-new logo acquisition, while also advancing the use of our technologies in existing accounts and partner relationships.
• Develop and implement a sales strategy to capitalize on this market opportunity, targeting large USA utilities and System Integrators.
• Contact prospects to present our value proposition and qualify interest.
• Develop proposals and presentations to meet expressed and perceived customer needs, liaising with technical resources as necessary.
• Build and maintain professional relationships within customer organizations.
• Close software sales and services working with the team to ensure on-time fulfillment, overall product satisfaction, and question/problem resolution.
• Record all customer/prospect communications in NetSuite.
• Provide monthly, quarterly, and annual sales booking forecasts and support the budgeting and annual planning process.
• Actively participate and support services projects with your customers, ensuring a smooth transition from presales to post-sales execution and being present for key meetings throughout the project delivery process.
• Collaborate with our Marketing team to develop programs and initiatives.
• Provide feedback to our Products team regarding general customer requirements for future product releases.
• Any other duties as assigned from time to time.

• 5 to 10 years of experience selling software solutions to large USA utilities and/or large System Integrators (SIs) is required.
• Demonstrated success in new business development/net-new sales, not just account growth.
• Ability to position and sell SaaS enterprise solutions.
• Demonstrated ability to develop new market opportunities and maximize opportunities with existing accounts.
• Top-notch written and verbal communication skills, including listening and public speaking.
• A passion for sales and technology.
• An insatiable drive to achieve targets while creating long-term customer success.
• Competence using automated sales tools such as CRM applications (NetSuite experience is ideal).
• Must be located in the contiguous U.S. with convenient access to a commercial airport to support up to 50% travel.
• This position requires travel (up to 50%) primarily in the US.
• Experience selling utility-sector solutions (GIS, asset management, or related enterprise software) would be considered a strong asset.
