Watt Footprint is an Irish start-up with global ambitions, rapidly establishing itself as a key disruptor in the energy marketplace. What makes us different is the combination of our proprietary energy management software and our hands‑on engineering services. We provide businesses with a complete end‑to‑end solution, from real‑time energy insights through our software and feasibility assessments to project upgrades, grant support, and measured & verified savings.

We are now looking for a motivated Sales Executive to drive growth across both sides of our offering:

• Energy management software subscriptions
• Engineering services including audits, feasibility studies, and retrofit project delivery

If you excel in a fast‑paced start‑up environment, have a strong track record in B2B sales, and enjoy selling solutions that blend technology with real operational impact, this role is for you. This role will require a lot of face‑to‑face client interaction so you must be very confident talking to prospects in person.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead Generation & Prospecting – Identify and engage high‑quality prospects through both cold and warm channels.
• Contribute to a strong pipeline of clients for both software subscriptions and engineering services.
• Sales Performance – Hit monthly sales targets for software subscriptions and engineering services.
• Log all activity, opportunities, and closed deals accurately in the CRM (Notion).
• Product Demonstrations & Client Management – Deliver high‑quality demos of our energy management platform, tailoring the message to each client’s operational challenges.
• Explain how our software integrates with technical studies and energy retrofit work.
• Communicate the ROI, savings potential, and long‑term value of our integrated offering.
• Cross‑Team Collaboration – Work with marketing to refine campaigns and support lead generation; collaborate with product and engineering teams to ensure accurate proposals and solution alignment.

Required Skills & Experience

• Proven experience in B2B sales, ideally with exposure to SaaS or technical service sales.
• Strong ability to generate leads, close sales, and manage early‑stage client relationships.
• Comfortable explaining software features as well as technical engineering services in a simple, client‑friendly way.
• Excellent in‑person and online communication and negotiation skills.
• Experience working with Notion (CRM) tools and structured sales processes.
• Self‑motivated, target‑driven, and capable of managing a remote workflow.
• Driver’s licence and ability to meet clients on site.
• Experience selling energy audits, engineering retrofits, or sustainability solutions is a strong advantage but can be developed in the role.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary and commission based on both software subscriptions and engineering services sold
• Flexible working hours
• Laptop and remote working set up
• Professional development opportunities
• Monthly team workshops and social events
• 23 days annual leave + bank holidays + your birthday off
• Employer‑funded Health Plan
• Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
• Work from Home
