Role Description

Ndustrial was founded in 2011 to accelerate efficiency across industrial facilities. Our founders merged their experiences across Silicon Valley innovation, industrial engineering and computer science to build a real-time industrial intelligence platform that enables companies to gain new levels of insight into their business processes and energy intensity and then optimize and transform them for sustained competitive advantage.

Headquartered in Raleigh, NC, ndustrial’s customers span the globe. Come join one of the most impactful companies in its industry with investments from one of the largest utilities on the planet, ENGIE New Ventures, Clean Energy Ventures and the largest cold storage logistics companies in the world, Lineage Logistics. Our culture values a relentless customer first commitment to quality anchored in integrity and a startup mindset rooted in curiosity. Building a company and solving global challenges is hard work but our teamwork is sustained through humility and humor.

We are looking for an Account Manager to create long-term, trusting relationships with our customers. The Account Manager’s role is to oversee a portfolio of assigned customers, develop new business from existing clients and actively seek new sales opportunities.

Account Manager will also answer client queries and identify new business opportunities among existing customers. In this role, you will liaise with cross-functional internal teams (including Customer Service and Product Development departments) to improve the entire customer experience. This position will require occasional travel (up to 30%). If you are familiar with account management software (CRM), have a flair for client communication and understand consumer behavior, we’d like to meet you. Ideally, candidates for this role will know how to meet ambitious individual and team-wide sales quotas. Ultimately, a successful Account Manager will be part of our sales team and achieve quotas, while keeping our clients satisfied and engaged with our products and services in the long-run.
