SSP is seeking a highly motivated Account Executive, Managed Services to spearhead growth of our expanding managed services portfolio. This is a strategic, hunter-oriented sales role focused on selling recurring, SLA-driven service offerings that operate within a shared-risk partnership model. This individual will be responsible for developing a small but rapidly growing segment of our business into a major revenue stream. The target market includes U.S.-based electric, gas, and water utilities, with a focus on executive and director-level leaders within utility operations and engineering departments. This role complements our existing sales team that primarily serves GIS and IT buyers—but operates independently, owning the full sales cycle from prospecting to close.

Collaborate with SSP’s expert consultants, solution architects, and operational leaders to craft compelling value propositions and proposals
Work closely with SSP’s marketing communications team to leverage campaigns, demand-generation initiatives, and thought-leadership content
Lead (with internal support) all aspects of the sales cycle, including discovery, positioning, proposal development, pricing discussions, and contract negotiation
Achieve annual bookings targets, with compensation tied directly to sales performance
Serve as the “voice of the market” internally, sharing customer insights to help evolve and refine SSP’s managed service offerings
Requirements:
10+ years of successful sales experience targeting electric and/or gas utility operations or engineering buyers
Proven track record of winning new business, with strengths in consultative selling and long-cycle deal management

Demonstrated ability to break into new accounts and engage executives at utilities of all sizes
Strong business development instincts, including pipeline generation, cold outreach, and leveraging personal networks
Excellent communication, presentation, and negotiation skills
Ability to operate independently as the company’s primary face of this portion of the portfolio while collaborating effectively with internal subject matter experts
Comfort working remotely and traveling as needed to build customer relationships across the U.S.
