About the role
The Account Executive, Industrial is a high-stakes "hunter" who thrives on strategic target accounts. You aren't just selling hardware; you are architecting future-state energy solutions for sophisticated stakeholders in the Oil & Gas and Heavy Industrial sectors. You will take the baton from our leadership team to own the full sales cycle—from initial latent interest to executed multi-million dollar contracts.

- Vertical Fluency: Deep domain expertise in Oil & Gas—Midstream or Energy Transition arms of integrated Majors preferred
- Proven Enterprise Closer: Track record of originating, negotiating, and closing complex hardware/infrastructure deals. (Not a pure BD strategy role—requires direct contract closing experience)

- Technical Literacy: Ability to master the nuances of distributed power hardware, gas blending/fuel flexibility (Natural Gas, Field Gas, Propane, RNG, Hydrogen), and grid interconnection constraints
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business, or Finance required, MBA or advanced degree preferred
