Director of Sales – Oil, Gas & Chemicals; Fenceline Solutions

TITLE:
Sales Manager – U.S. Chemicals (Fenceline Solutions)

ROLE TYPE: Individual Contributor (no direct reports)

Location: Santa Clara, CA or Remote US

Picarro’s entry into the US chemicals market through our Fenceline Solution represents a substantial company‑level investment and a core growth priority. The Sales Manager plays a critical role in establishing Picarro’s commercial presence in this market by converting strategic customer engagement into scalable, repeatable revenue. This role is responsible for driving bookings, building a durable pipeline, and ensuring forecast integrity within an assigned region or account set.

The Sales Manager owns deal execution end‑to‑end—from initial engagement through contract signature and structured handoff to Delivery, Customer Success, and Delivery functions. Success is measured by bookings performance, pipeline quality, and forecast accuracy.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR: You thrive in the earliest, hardest part of a market — before the name recognition, before the reference list is long, before the motion is repeatable. You build those things. You will own the commercial cycle in the US Chemicals market: pipeline development, deal execution, pricing, contract structuring, and a disciplined handoff to delivery and customer success.

You're the primary relationship owner with HSSE leaders, operations teams, and technical stakeholders throughout — which means you need genuine fluency in their world, not just the ability to present into it. Fenceline monitoring sits at the intersection of regulatory compliance, operational risk, and capital decision‑making. You navigate that complexity naturally. This role requires more than closing skills. You'll be building Picarro's commercial presence in a market where credibility is earned facility by facility, and where a single well‑executed customer relationship opens the next three.

You bring forecast discipline, CRM rigor, and the instinct to know when a deal is real — and the integrity to say so either way. You're joining at a moment when the chemicals market is being opened. The account relationships, sales motion, and market reputation being established right now will define Picarro's position in this space for years. The person in this role won't just execute against that opportunity — they'll shape it.

If that sounds like the challenge you've been looking for, we want to talk.
