• Experience selling complex solutions in the energy field or an adjacent industry
• Demonstrated ability to plan, navigate, and negotiate sophisticated sales processes
• Strong understanding of customer business drivers and ability to connect operational needs to broader financial and strategic outcomes
• Strong verbal and written communication skills in English
