About the Role We are seeking a Vice President of Sales & Business Development who will be directly responsible for leading our go-to-market strategy and execution. Reporting to the CEO and Founders, this role is pivotal to the company's success: closing high-touch multi-stakeholder deals, building out a high-performing sales organization, and expanding into new verticals. This is not a traditional BD role. This is a role that requires enterprise value selling focused on governance and defensibility. Buyers evaluate Aclima not only on tech capabilities, but on whether results will withstand scientific review, meet public expectations and scrutiny, and hold up to regulatory or legal challenges. This role requires the ability to build trust with technical reviewers, program owners, procurement/legal, communications, and community stakeholders—without over-promising. The ideal candidate is a hands-on strategic sales executive who has successfully sold paradigm-shifting approaches to government agencies, utilities, and other regulated industries, and who brings a strong network, deep sales expertise, and a passion for climate solutions. This leader will operate at multiple altitudes: from building high-trust relationships with public officials and C-level executives, to designing and operationalizing internal sales processes, to coaching a growing team, and personally owning and closing top-tier deals. Sales cycles can be long; success depends on process, persistence, and stakeholder orchestration, with strong relationship-building. Success in this role requires selling “paradigm shift” outcomes, with humility, rigor, and proof.

Hire and/or assess required GTM roles (AE(s), BD, partnerships, proposals) and define a scalable operating cadence. Establish gov affairs operational responsibility with founders and external gov affairs teams. Responsibilities: Sales Leadership and Execution Identify, pursue, and close Aclima’s new business opportunities across public sector, utilities, and adjacent verticals. Design and execute a pilot-to-program playbook (success criteria, stakeholder mapping, measurement plan, expansion triggers, renewal pathway). Lead the multi-stakeholder buying journey with our customers (science/technical, program, procurement, legal/privacy, communications/EJ, executive leadership). Build and run an RFP/RFI strategy: early education, requirement shaping, teaming, compliance, pricing strategy, and debrief learnings. Must haves Qualifications: Experienced Sales Leader: 10+ years of experience in enterprise sales, with at least 5 years in a senior leadership role. Has built and led high-performing value selling teams and can point to significant revenue growth. Experience selling into regulated markets where trust, defensibility, and public scrutiny are as important as performance. B2G and/or utility enterprise sales wins: Closed multi-year, multi-stakeholder deals (ideally $1M+ program scale) that required procurement review (RFP/RFI/MSA). Procurement fluency: Can speak to timelines, compliance, pricing structures, cooperative purchasing vehicles, and how to win with evaluators. Hybrid offering experience: Sold solutions that combine services delivery + software/data platform (not purely SaaS, not purely consulting). Technical credibility: Able to sell with scientists/engineers in the room—comfortable discussing methods, uncertainty, QA/QC, validation, and limitations without hand-waving. Operating discipline: Strong pipeline management, forecasting, and sales process, with the ability to build a repeatable engine (MEDDICC or equivalent). Team builder: Built and managed teams; can recruit, coach, and hold performance standards. Strategic & Tactical: You think big, align to company vision, and also roll up your sleeves to make the plan real. Resilient Operator: You thrive in ambiguity, are comfortable in startup environments, and operate with urgency and grit. Strong Plus: Network of active contacts across state/local agencies, air quality programs, climate offices, and/or electric/gas utilities. Experience with environmental monitoring, geospatial analytics, emissions programs, or environmental health. Experience navigating community trust / EJ-facing programs (with clear role boundaries: agency-led engagement, vendor support). Partnerships experience (systems integrators, channel partners, consultancies, Esri ecosystem, utilities associations).
