• Leverage structured sales checkpoints to gain commitments and advance opportunities
• Actively manage pipeline and opportunity action plans aligned with customer buying cycles
• Lead matrixed project development teams across engineering, finance, legal, construction management, and operations
• Maximize utilization of Project Development Engineering and technical resources
• Coordinate internal stakeholders to deliver cohesive, high-value proposals
• Develop, present, and negotiate complex proposals and financial agreements
• Address resistance, negotiate value, and close major opportunities
• Secure executive commitment through strong financial, operational, and sustainability positioning
• Participate in regional sales and marketing planning
• Support vertical market sales strategies and new customer targeting
• Represent the organization at industry trade shows and professional associations
• Utilize generative AI tools for prospect research, competitive positioning, and value articulation

Why this role:
