Job Summary

The Sales Director, our most senior IC role, will be responsible for managing, structuring, and negotiating complex, high-value deals with key prospects (T1 & T2) within the Utility market. The objective of this position is to drive sales in the territory assigned to you (UKI), where you are expected to target and engage key Utilities and in doing so build robust multi-faceted stakeholder relationships. You are expected to identify, qualify, develop and convert new opportunities, including both initial land deals as well as expansion deals with your key accounts. This role is highly visible across the organization and has cross functional interaction with all business units, including Presales, Customer Success, Marketing, Product Management, Delivery, and Finance.

We are looking for a tenacious individual with real drive and enthusiasm to transform our customer's business challenges into solutions and business value. The role is perfect for someone inherently curious; a person that loves what they do and who devours information related to their field to which they operate, their profession and their craft; they read about, enthuse about it, and talk with passion to whoever will listen.

As a Sales Director, you will be responsible for unearthing and understanding customers' business needs and effectively communicating how IQGeo's solutions can address those needs. You will work closely with the leadership team to drive revenue growth by providing consultative guidance, high level product pitches and general brand awareness. Your role is instrumental in building trusted customer relationships, leading to a qualified pipeline of legitimacy and substance.
