For the world’s largest energy buyers, managing energy has never been more complex or more critical. Energy markets are more volatile than ever yet solutions remain anchored in the past. Verse is here to change the game - we help these organizations manage complex power portfolios with confidence by unifying energy and sustainability data, planning, forecasting, and operations in one tool. Our Energy Intelligence platform, Aria, brings together energy, sustainability, finance, and operations teams with real-time, finance-ready intelligence—replacing spreadsheets and consultants with precision across the entire energy lifecycle. Built by an expert team of energy buyers, data scientists, and engineers, Verse enables faster, smarter energy decisions that reduce risk and lower energy costs. The Role We are looking for a Senior Account Executive to own the full sales cycle for Aria™ — from first outreach through contract execution — with clear accountability for bookings, pipeline, and forecast accuracy.

What We’re Looking For (Minimum Qualifications) - 6+ years of B2B enterprise SaaS sales experience, with a consistent track record of meeting or exceeding quota on complex, multi-stakeholder deals in energy. - Experience at a start-up or high-growth company — you know how to build a pipeline before brand awareness does it for you. - Proven track record closing complex SaaS or technology deals - Experience building relationships with senior executives and C-suite buyers - Strong ability to independently manage complex sales cycles - Demonstrated history of meeting or exceeding sales quotas - Excellent communication, negotiation, and presentation skills - Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience - Very strong collaboration skills with your colleagues in marketing, sales and product to shape our roadmap What Will Make You Standout (Preferred Qualifications) - Experience selling into energy buyers, or climate/energy software - Experience in high-growth startup environments (Series A–C) - Track record closing enterprise deals above $100k ACV - Experience selling solutions that combine software and professional services - Familiarity with structured sales methodologies (Revenue Storm, Challenger) - Strong account planning and opportunity management skills - Experience working alongside consulting or implementation partners What Makes Verse a Great Place to Work? - We lead with empathy.
