Job description

Historic Preservation Sales Specialist

We are seeking a Historic Preservation Sales Specialist to represent and grow our preservation client portfolio by developing relationships with owners, architects, preservation professionals, and public-sector stakeholders responsible for historic buildings. This role focuses on identifying opportunities, guiding clients through complex decision-making processes, and delivering solutions that align with preservation standards, regulatory requirements, and project goals.

About Inspekt AI

Inspekt AI is transforming how building owners and operators detect, manage, and prevent façade and envelope failures. Our drone-powered inspections and AI-driven analysis help commercial real estate owners, property managers, REITs, and facilities teams identify issues early—before minor defects turn into six-figure repairs or safety risks.

We work with complex, high-value assets and sell into technical, risk-aware buyers. This is not transactional sales—it’s consultative, problem-focused, and data-driven.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and manage relationships with owners and stewards of historic properties, preservation architects, consultants, and public agencies
• Identify, qualify, and pursue new business opportunities for historic preservation services
• Communicate the value of our services in a clear, accurate, and client-focused manner
• Support clients in understanding regulatory frameworks, preservation standards, and project requirements
• Prepare and deliver presentations, proposals, and project scopes in collaboration with internal teams
• Participate in site visits, stakeholder meetings, and planning discussions
• Address client questions and concerns related to cost, timelines, compliance, and preservation integrity
• Maintain accurate records of sales activities, forecasts, and client interactions

Required Qualifications

• Experience in business development or sales within construction, architecture, engineering, preservation, or related professional services
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Ability to navigate complex approval processes and multi-stakeholder environments
• Understanding of—or willingness to learn—historic preservation standards and regulatory considerations
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a professional environment

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with historic preservation projects or adaptive reuse work
• Existing relationships within the preservation, architectural, or municipal sectors
• Experience selling professional or technical services

Performance Expectations

• Consistent development of qualified sales opportunities
• Contribution to revenue growth and client retention
• Accurate project scoping and alignment with internal delivery teams
• Professional representation of the company with clients and partners

What We Offer

• Sell a differentiated, real-world solution solving expensive and visible problems
• Work directly with experienced founders and sales leadership
• Opportunity to grow into Senior SDR or Account Executive roles
• Help build the outbound motion from the ground up
• Remote flexibility with a high-trust, high-ownership culture
