  • Represent IES at conferences, workshops, and networking events to build brand awareness and expand the sales pipeline.
  • Maintain and update Salesforce with detailed notes, forecasting attributes and follow-up activities from customer engagements.

  • Strong sales process management, forecasting, and analytical skills.
  • Proven ability to communicate effectively, negotiate commercial terms, and build strong relationships with sophisticated commercial and technical buyers.
  • Strong business acumen, detail-oriented and persuasive.
  • Ability to translate market and customer feedback into technical terms, and provide to internal teams and external partners for continuous improvement.
  • Experience with Salesforce for detailed account, engagement tracking, and report generation.
  • Ability to work independently across a large territory, develop overarching sales strategies, reporting and adjusting strategy as required to meet targets.
  • Understanding of green building certifications
  • The Rewards

    You will have the opportunity to develop your career in a supportive environment, while contributing to our goal of decarbonising the built environment. We also offer a range of benefits, such as private health care; enhanced family leave; enhanced annual leave; home working allowance; flexible start times and hybrid working options.
