We are working exclusively with our client to find a remote Account Executive.
About:
Our client is a pioneering energy technology company helping large buildings optimise energy use across heating, cooling, solar, and EV systems. Traditionally managed through analogue methods, their platform brings intelligence and automation to legacy infrastructure, delivering cost and carbon savings without impacting comfort.
Rather than overwhelming users with data, the system provides clear, prioritised actions—empowering engineers to make high-impact changes quickly. Backed by major energy players, their technology consistently pays for itself, often achieving ROI within the first three months.
Focused on tangible outcomes, their mission is to drive down carbon usage while helping customers manage costs in an increasingly complex energy landscape.
