What We’re Looking For- Industry insider: 5+ years of experience in sales or business development at a leading EHS software provider is required.
- Domain fluency: Understanding of incident management, root cause analysis, corrective action tracking, and the daily reality of EHS teams.
- Sales tech fluency: Familiarity with HubSpot, CRM platforms, and Apollo.io; experience leveraging these tools to manage pipeline and drive outbound is a strong plus.
- Autonomous operator: Proven ability to work independently with minimal direction, taking full ownership of priorities, execution, and outcomes.
- Builder mentality: Comfortable designing and scaling a sales function from scratch, including processes, tooling, and early GTM experimentation.
