• Skilled at managing long sales cycles with multiple stakeholders and layers of approval
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and account development skills
• Comfortable working cross-functionally with engineering, marketing, and operations
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience influencing specifications for new construction projects
• Familiarity with MEP consulting firms and design-build workflows
• Knowledge of energy codes, incentive programs, or sustainability initiatives in data centers
  
  

Mission

Establish Infinitum as the preferred motor technology for data center HVAC systems by securing specification wins in new builds and major infrastructure upgrades, with a measurable goal of being named basis of design in at least three major data center projects by the end of 2026.

Competencies

• Spec-In Sales Mastery
