Position SummaryRedaptive is seeking a driven Associate Sales Rep to own a portfolio of early- and mid-stage sales opportunities within our enterprise Energy-as-a-Service pipeline. This role goes beyond support work - you'll independently qualify inbound opportunities, build financial and energy-savings business cases for prospects, and manage deals through key stages of the sales cycle in close partnership with Sales Executives.
Candidates with a finance background bring valuable skill in evaluating deal economics; candidates with a sales background bring valuable skill in running a deal cycle end to end. Either path is a strong fit.
You'll work directly with the Director of Sales and the full Direct Sales team, plus cross-functional partners in legal, finance, and sales operations. This role has real workstream ownership - you'll be expected to work most tasks independently, exercise judgment on routine deal decisions, and mentor newer Sales Associates as you build toward a quota-carrying Sales Executive role.
Responsibilities and Duties- Qualify inbound and pipeline opportunities against Redaptive's ideal customer profile, and prioritize which deals warrant Sales Executive time.
- Build financial and energy-savings business cases for prospective customers, translating utility data and project economics into a clear value proposition.
- Own full workstreams within active deals: lead deal desk and legal submissions, negotiate routine terms, and drive approvals to close without heavy oversight.
- Independently manage a portion of the team's pipeline in Salesforce - accurate stages, close dates, next steps, and proposal status - and flag stalled deals before they become a problem.
- Prepare pipeline reporting and forecast inputs for leadership reviews, including deal-by-deal status rollups and risk commentary.
- Partner with legal, finance, and sales operations on contract routing, credit checks, and other cross-functional deal requirements, resolving routine issues independently.
- Lead account transition and onboarding work (e.g., ownership handoffs, referral partner coordination) as accounts move between Sales Executives.
- Identify and implement process improvements to team playbooks and documentation, and mentor newer Sales Associates on deal support best practices.
- Provide general support to the Director of Sales and team as needed.
- Other duties as assigned.
