• 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
