Company Overview

Our client is a well-capitalized, Series C clean energy technology company delivering distributed power and cooling solutions for utilities, data centers, and large commercial & industrial (C&I) customers.

With growing market traction across North America, the company is expanding its commercial team and seeking high-performing sales leaders to drive new logo acquisition.
