Job description

Fleetzero is building next-generation electric and hybrid-electric propulsion platforms for commercial vessels. We are looking for an individual contributor sales professional to sell complex, high-value electrification systems directly to ship owners and operators.

This role owns the commercial process end-to-end: prospecting, technical qualification, deal structuring, and close. You’ll work closely with engineering and leadership to translate customer operational requirements into deployed systems.

Responsibilities

• Own the full sales cycle for electric and hybrid propulsion solutions, from first contact through contract execution.
• Prospect and engage ship owners, operators, and fleet decision-makers across commercial maritime segments.
• Lead technical discovery to understand vessel profiles, duty cycles, power requirements, and operational constraints.
• Present and position Fleetzero’s system architecture, performance characteristics, and cost structure versus incumbent and alternative solutions.
• Coordinate with engineering and product teams on solution design, feasibility, and pricing inputs.
• Manage proposals, commercial terms, and negotiations with sophisticated buyers.
• Build and maintain an accurate pipeline, forecasts, and deal documentation.
• Develop strong relationships with customers, partners, and industry stakeholders.

$150,000 - $175,000 a year

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of B2B sales experience, ideally selling complex technical or industrial systems.
• Proven ability to operate as a true individual contributor in long, consultative sales cycles.
• Comfort selling engineered solutions rather than off-the-shelf products.
• Ability to understand and communicate technical concepts.
• Strong negotiation skills and commercial judgment.
• Self-directed, disciplined, and effective in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.

Strong Plus

• Experience in maritime, offshore, shipbuilding, energy systems, or heavy industrial sectors.
• Familiarity with vessel procurement processes and shipyard or retrofit workflows.
• Background selling capital equipment with multi-stakeholder buying groups.

Why This Role

• Sell real hardware deployed on real vessels, not pilots or concept projects.
• Work directly with engineers building production-ready systems.
• Meaningful ownership over accounts, deals, and outcomes.
• Early commercial role with room to grow as the company scales.
• Not just a job – a wealth creation opportunity for the hunter within.
