• Create and maintain a sales pipeline to ensure over‑achievement.
• Engage with prospect organizations to position Itron solutions through value‑based selling, business case definition, return‑on‑investment analysis, references, and analyst data.
• Generate short‑term results while maintaining a long‑term perspective to maximize overall revenue generation.
• Provide accurate monthly forecasting and revenue delivery.
• Work with management and cross‑functional teams to develop a strategic account plan for each named account, whether a new logo prospect or existing customer account with cross/upsell potential.

Required Skills & Experience

• 5+ years of selling enterprise SaaS solutions with focus on business applications, preferably in the areas of construction, operations, safety, and utilities.
• Successful history of net new business sales (direct), with the ability to prove consistent delivery against targets.
• BA/BS or equivalent.
• Excellent management, organizational, communication (written and oral), and interpersonal skills to interact with all levels of employees/executives and customers.
• Empathetic, positive, and with a strong desire to help customers reach their goals.
• A passion for technology and for being part of an innovative SaaS company.
• Deep (10+ years) experience working in the energy industry (with a strong emphasis on U.S. Utilities) is strongly preferred.

Preferred Skills & Experience

• Experience selling to or partnering with Investor‑Owned Utilities in a regulated market environment.
• Familiarity with field work management, grid resiliency, or AI‑driven operational decision products.
• Established executive‑level relationships across utility operations, safety, emergency management, or capital planning functions.
• Demonstrated ability to translate technical products into customer‑centric value propositions for utility stakeholders.
