Join MRE UK’s growing energy practice! We are looking for a hunter: an experienced energy sales professional who wins net new clients and grows them into long-term relationships. You will open doors with energy traders, suppliers, generators and utilities across the UK and Europe, and show how ETRM (Energy Trading and Risk Management) platforms can deliver tailored solutions to their commercial and operational challenges. Once you land a client, you will expand the relationship and stay close to delivery.
What You’ll Do:
Win New Business
- Own the full cycle for new logos: prospecting, qualifying, pitching, negotiating and closing.
- Build and run your own pipeline, with a clear plan for targeting accounts across the UK and European energy markets.
- Represent MRE UK at industry events, conferences and networking events in London and across Europe, turning contacts into opportunities.
- Partner with ETRM vendors and our sales and leadership teams to shape winning solutions and proposals.
- Meet or exceed annual new business targets, and report forecasts and market insight to senior management.
Lead with Insight
- Stay ahead of market developments, regulatory change (e.g. REMIT, UK EMIR, Ofgem requirements) and the energy transition, and turn that into points of view that get you in the door with senior buyers.
- Listen closely to clients, understand their challenges, and work with technical experts to design solutions that deliver.
Land and Expand
- Act as the primary contact for the clients you win, building executive relationships that lead to further work.
- Develop account plans with project teams to grow revenue within your accounts.
- Provide oversight of engagements on your accounts to ensure successful delivery and client satisfaction, and handle any escalations.
About You:
Essential
- 8+ years selling consulting or professional services, including at least 3-5 years selling into the energy ecosystem (power, gas, oil & gas, utilities or commodities).
- A proven record of winning new clients and meeting or exceeding sales targets.
- Experience leading pursuits from identification to close, with strong negotiation skills.
- Strong executive presence and experience selling to C-suite and senior decision-makers.
- Experience advising clients on ETRM platforms.
- Excellent communication and listening skills, and the ability to storyboard a compelling solution and presentation.
- A bachelor’s degree in business administration, management information systems or a related field.
- An established network among UK and European energy market participants.
- The right to work in the UK.
Desirable
- Hands-on IT consulting experience and an MBA or equivalent.
- Familiarity with Salesforce or Microsoft platforms.
Location and Travel
- London preferred; candidates elsewhere in the UK who can be in London regularly will also be considered.
- Willingness to travel across the U.K. and Europe, with travel to the U.S. as needed.
