As Business Development Manager, SaaS Solutions, You Will:

Business Development & Pipeline Growth

• Own SaaS pipeline generation, qualification and forecast accuracy across assigned accounts, territories and target market segments, with the majority of pipeline self-sourced.
• Prospect proactively into new and underdeveloped accounts, including outbound and cold outreach to stakeholders with whom we hold no existing commercial relationship.
• Manage the full sales cycle from initial engagement through to contract execution, aligning customer business needs with product capabilities and value proposition.
• Work jointly with account-aligned Sales Managers to identify, prioritize and pursue software opportunity within their portfolios, and to agree upon shared attach targets on named accounts.

Commercial Development & Consultative Selling

• Build quantified ROI and total cost of ownership cases covering energy savings, refrigerant loss avoidance, product loss and shrink reduction, maintenance efficiency, and emissions or compliance outcomes.
• Structure commercial proposals that fit how customers actually fund SaaS operational expenses.
• Consult customers on the digital journey through connectivity and remote visibility, energy management, fault detection and diagnostics, then full optimization and design of the land-and-expand path from first site to full fleet.
• Identify and develop internal champions, and navigate IT, data and cyber security reviews in partnership with technical teams.

Sales Enablement & Proposal Management

• Own the end-to-end RFP, RFT and proposal process for enterprise SaaS opportunities, coordinating with internal subject matter experts to develop high-quality tender submissions and commercial proposals.
• Support account-aligned Sales Managers on large enterprise opportunities through stakeholder mapping, proposal coordination and sales support activities.
• Drive continuous improvement and standardization of sales processes, proposal documentation and tender response practices across the SaaS business.

REQUIRED EDUCATION, EXPERIENCE, & SKILLS:

• Five (5) or more years of quota-carrying software or SaaS sales experience, with proven attainment against a recurring revenue (ARR or MRR) target.

• Proven record of winning net-new business and displacing incumbent solutions in accounts with no prior software relationship, including identifying and developing new markets or segments.
• Strong capability in pipeline development, opportunity qualification and forecasting.
• Experience preparing enterprise proposals, RFPs, RFTs or tender submissions, and coordinating cross-functional input into complex, multi-stakeholder bids.
• Proven stakeholder mapping and account strategy across complex, multi-site customer organizations, including the ability to reach executive, finance, IT and sustainability stakeholders independently.
• Experience managing long-cycle consultative sales processes of six to twelve months with multiple decision-makers.
• Sufficient technical aptitude to become credible quickly in HVAC-R, building systems or energy management, and able to hold a conversation with a facilities engineer and translate technical output into commercial value.
• Demonstrated ability to influence, coach and enable a sales organization without direct reporting authority.
• Strong organizational skills, with experience managing CRM systems, forecasting and pipeline reporting, and driving standardization of sales processes and documentation.
• Resilience, self-direction and comfort operating without an established playbook.
• Effective communication skills across customer, team and internal stakeholder groups, credible with both engineers and executives.
• Travel up to approximately 50% is expected, across customer sites, field sales territories and industry events.

• Direct experience with building analytics, fault detection and diagnostics, energy management, remote monitoring, or IoT platforms.
• Experience as the first or an early software seller within a hardware-led organization, converting an installed equipment base into recurring digital revenue.
• Understanding of decarbonization and compliance drivers, including refrigerant regulation and phase-down, energy reporting and ESG or rating frameworks.
• Exposure to contractor and service-partner channels, and to overlay, specialist or partner-sales operating models.
• Experience owning or contributing to enterprise RFP/RFT response processes and standardizing sales enablement documentation, ideally in a platform, analytics or SaaS business.
