Job description

We are a pre-IPO company backed by a distinguished group of strategic partners and some of the world’s most influential climate tech funds. With strong traction in shipments and several major customer wins, the market now recognizes the value of our technology and the impact it will have on the future of the industry.

We have a world-class R&D organization, an extensive patent portfolio and a strong leadership team which is scaling the company up across all functions. We are headquartered in Austin, TX, and have a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Saltillo, Mexico, with room for significant expansion.

Increasingly, end customers are willing to pay a premium for solutions featuring "Infinitum Inside." Our OEM partners are successfully leveraging this differentiation to achieve higher close rates and command greater margins.

In short, we believe we have crossed the chasm—introducing breakthrough technology into a traditionally conservative sector. We are now ready to scale our go-to-market team substantially and are seeking team members who are passionate about rapid growth, eager to learn, and excited to tackle the challenges ahead as we make this journey together.

Collaborate with ecosystem stakeholders such as engineering firms, OEM partners, and design consultants to create preference for Infinitum’s products.
Own the commercial relationship and account strategy from initial engagement through successful specification and procurement.
Partner with Application Engineers to ensure technical alignment and seamless integration of Infinitum motors into design documentation.
Represent Infinitum at industry events, technical working groups, and strategic meetings with customers and engineering firms to strengthen market presence.
Maintain accurate CRM records, pipeline forecasts, and reporting on specification progress and wins.
Monitor competitive landscape, market dynamics, and customer roadmaps to uncover timing opportunities for specification and procurement.

Must haves

Experience developing strategic relationships in key verticals (e.g., data centers, healthcare, or similar).

Demonstrated success selling to key verticals and understanding their unique needs.
Strong understanding of HVAC systems, mechanical contracting, and facility operations.
Skilled at managing long sales cycles with multiple stakeholders and layers of approval.
