As our first sales hire, you’ll report directly to our CEO and have a lot of responsibility and latitude to shape our sales organization. You’ll set strategy, develop and track leads, close contracts, and deeply listen to customers for feedback and pattern recognition.  As you gain traction, you will lead the hire and development of a full sales team. The ideal candidate is someone who has excelled as an individual contributor on sales teams, thrives at building relationships with customers, and has the enthusiasm to build and lead their own high-performing sales organization within our company.

• Convey customer needs to the product team.
• Create and improve outreach templates and sequences.
• Establish sales targets, prepare forecasts, and create sales reports.
• Update and maintain the sales database.
• Establish a scalable sales process and build out a sales team.

This is a full time contract role. The position is remote, but special consideration will be given to candidates in ISeeChange’s target markets. Generally we are active online between 9am-6pm EST. The ISC multi-disciplinary team currently consists of a full-time director and 9 remote team members across development, data science, climate science, journalism, urban planning, and community organizing.

What you have:

• 7+ years in enterprise Sales or Business Development.
• Experience selling technical services (especially software-as-a-service) and/or professional services like engineering and construction management.
• Proven track record of success achieving sales quotas and goals.
• Ability to manage complex sales cycles, including experience in RFP responses state, local, and education (SLED) government agencies
• Confidence selling in a variety of situations including 1:1, 1:many, and with industry partners.
• Enthusiasm for sales metrics and analysis.
• Ability to quickly identify challenges that customers and prospects are facing.
• Excellent communication, interpersonal, and negotiation skills.
• A passion for working with clients to solve problems

We’d be super pumped if you also have:

• Prior experience building and leading sales teams.

What we have:

• A growing global web and mobile platform with an active community.
• Climate focused business use cases to design solutions around
• Opportunities to learn new technologies (e.g. IoT and AI) and take responsibility for company initiatives.
• An international team of values-driven, friendly, and smart people (if we do say so ourselves) to work along-side
• A dedication to make the world a better place
• A remote team with flexible scheduling and competitive salaries

Why work with ISeeChange?

We are our authentic selves. We’re human – we know that our weaknesses and vulnerabilities matter just as much as our strengths. We engage each other with gratitude, transparency and love.
