About This Role
This Enterprise Account Executive role involves owning and expanding a portfolio of named enterprise accounts across North America, specifically driving adoption of SkySpecs' professional services and SaaS solutions for wind farm asset management.

💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might involve reviewing account plans for key North American wind farm operators, conducting stakeholder mapping sessions for upcoming complex sales cycles, and collaborating with international technical teams to tailor solution proposals.
