Business: Sustainable Infrastructure (SI)

Role Summary

The Senior Account Executive is a high‑impact, customer‑obsessed seller who creates, shapes, and wins complex Sustainable Infrastructure (SI) opportunities across Central and North Florida. This leader combines creativity, drive, and executive presence to inspire C‑suite customers to act—accelerating decarbonization, resilience, and operational outcomes through performance contracting, distributed energy, and as‑a‑Service solutions.

• Design provocative points‑of‑view and executive narratives that inspire action—framing outcomes, risk transfer, financing, and governance in language that resonates with boards and elected officials.
• Own the Book of Business: Source and progress a healthy pipeline across priority verticals (government, education, healthcare, commercial/industrial), balancing near‑term bookings with multi‑year programmatic growth.
• Lead deal strategy, pricing, risk governance, and approvals; forecast accurately; achieve bookings, margin, cash, and recurring revenue targets.

• Create Compelling, Risk‑Mitigated Solutions across a range of offerings including Performance Contracting/ESCO, Design‑Build Modernization, Advisory & Energy Services, O&M/Facility Management, and as‑a‑Service models.
• Grow recurring service revenue by packaging performance guarantees, customer success, and lifecycle asset strategies.
• Influence & Lead a performance culture—coach teams, remove roadblocks, and drive accountability across sales stages, technical reviews, and governance.
• Convene and lead pursuit teams (Project Development Engineers, Project Delivery Consultants, Performance Engineers, Operations) to set scope, win themes, and solution strategy.
• Partner with Marketing, Finance, Legal/Risk, and Delivery leaders to accelerate time‑to‑value and ensure cash discipline and margin integrity.
• Demonstrate excellent presentation skills in customer meetings, executive briefings, and oral interviews. Communicate complex solutions clearly and persuasively to diverse audiences.
• Attend conferences, trade shows, and professional organizations to represent the company and expand industry knowledge. Proactively develop and maintain a strong network within related industry groups and associations.

• Digital Outcomes: OpenBlue analytics, enterprise energy management, exception‑based operations, central plant optimization, and continuous commissioning.
