Director, Sales Innovation, Utilities & Data Science - REMOTE

We are always searching for talented Sales Innovation Directors!

Are you a rockstar utility professional with a track record of taking on challenges and creating meaningful change? Are you looking to join a high-energy, mission-driven company?

The E Source Data Science business unit is looking for a Director, Sales Innovation with an entrepreneurial spirit who finds great satisfaction in building something from the ground up. You should possess an executive presence with a keen ability to translate innovative data-driven concepts into a clear and concise message that resonates with prospective clients and helps them understand the value of doing something new and transformative. High-energy individuals who enjoy challenges and have a healthy level of grit will thrive and progress in our organization.

We're trying to break the mold on what sales should be: we are looking for innovative creative thinkers who understand utility problems and can have consultative conversations with them about how the new space of data science might help solve those problems... and then hopefully move that innovative problem-solving conversation towards a sale.

E Source is a solutions-based consulting, research and advisory, and data science firm that’s been a change agent in the utility industry for over 30 years.

What you’ll do

• Participate in full-cycle sales development, including nurturing leads and opportunities and closing final sales
• Collaborate across business units and with subject-matter experts to maximize sales effectiveness
• Navigate a complex sales environment, handling multiple opportunities at the same time
• Lead executive-level conversations about E Source solutions

What will make you a good fit

• At least seven years of professional experience
• Proficiency with complex sales-cycle, solution, and product selling; a combination of the three is preferred
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office apps
• Experience with Salesforce or another CRM system
• Experience working with electric, gas, or water utilities
• Familiarity with how electric utilities can leverage data science to better engage with their customers and drive increased value from grid investments
• A bachelor’s degree or work-related experience

A little about E Source

Since 1986, E Source has focused on partnering with utilities to help their customers save electricity. That novel approach defined the art of electric end-use efficiency—better known as energy efficiency. We’ve expanded that concept to include a broader perspective of sustainability for utilities that deliver electricity, natural gas, and water.

We work to enhance relationships with the people utilities serve, achieve the next generation of savings, and lead the carbon-reduction effort. We help utilities think differently, make data useful, and learn from the best strategies across the industry. Our people, our insights, and our network help our clients and give them the assurance that the programs they implement are the most effective.

Benefits

• We offer excellent insurance packages, including medical, dental, and vision plans; company-paid life insurance; company-paid long- and short-term disability insurance; and medical and dependent-care flexible spending plans.
• We provide a flexible time off (FTO) program; E Source employees can take as many paid days off per year as they need, with manager approval, while fulfilling their work obligations and ensuring proper coverage of their responsibilities
