Commercial, industrial, and utility leaders are choosing Mainspring over traditional options like engines, turbines, and fuel cells to quickly and reliably deliver local power for EV charging, commercial facilities, data centers, and grid-scale operations. 

The Mainspring Linear Generator is fuel flexible, ramps up and down to meet demand, and utilizes a flameless reaction with near-zero NOx emissions. Backed by top-tier investors including Khosla Ventures, Bill Gates, American Electric Power, Lightrock, and General Catalyst Mainspring designs, manufactures and delivers its products to customers across the U.S. today, and we’re quickly scaling for international expansion.

Inspired by our vision of the affordable, reliable, net-zero carbon grid, Mainspring is rapidly expanding within the $816B global electricity equipment market, and we’re hiring the best talent to meet growing customer demand around the globe. We welcome a broad range of backgrounds, experiences, and talents to bring fresh perspectives and ongoing innovation to our customers.

We are looking to build relationships with people who share our values:

Pragmatic Optimism. Building a new category of world-class power generation requires the optimism of ambition and creativity, balanced with practicality to solve problems efficiently. The challenges that arise are opportunities for growth.

Excellence without Ego. We bring expertise and commitment to creating the best customer experience, from sales to deployment and service, just as we apply deep technical rigor to building and delivering world-class products. We strive for excellence and behave as leaders with the humility to acknowledge our challenges, both collectively and as individual contributors.

Proactive Collaboration. The integration and cross-disciplinary nature of Mainspring’s business requires intentionally seeking out others who bring different skills, perspectives, and priorities. Our culture of inclusion and respect extends beyond our team to interactions with our partners and customers.

Job Overview

Mainspring Energy is seeking a Senior Manager of Channel Sales to drive our continued expansion into the US market. We need a deal orchestrator—a Senior Manager of Channel Sales who can recruit the right EPCs, developers, and partners, and then drive them to close.
 
Reporting to the Senior Director of Channel Sales, you will be responsible for the full lifecycle of partner-driven revenue: from identifying the right entities in the power market to ensuring they are equipped to close large deals. This role is for a hunter who understands the technical nuances of the data center and distributed energy space and knows how to navigate complex utility landscapes in the region.

Primary Responsibilities
  • Pipeline & Quota: Own and exceed revenue targets through strategic channel partners

  • Deal Quarterbacking: Lead cross-functional internal teams (Product, Finance, Engineering) to support partners in closing high-contract-value transactions

  • Sales Enablement: Move partners from "signed" to "productive" by delivering high-impact training on Mainspring’s value proposition in power quality, resiliency, and fuel flexibility

  • Market Strategy: Execute go-to-market strategies tailored to the national utility environment, focusing on behind-the-meter applications and data center load growth

  • Forecasting & Performance: Maintain a rigorous, data-driven approach to partner performance, using KPIs to manage pipeline health and provide accurate revenue forecasts to leadership

  • Technical/Financial Acumen: Comfort with project finance concepts (IRR, NPV, PPA structures) and the ability to articulate technical value to engineering stakeholders

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree required; Engineering or Quantitative degrees highly preferred

  • Does your experience not meet all of our posted requirements? Studies have shown that some people are less likely to apply to positions unless they meet every listed requirement. At Mainspring, we are committed to building a diverse, inclusive, flexible, and collaborative environment, so if you want to help us transition the world to clean and affordable electricity, and don’t meet all posted requirements for a particular role, we’d still love to hear from you. Mainspring can sometimes be flexible enough to shift responsibilities for the right person, or otherwise identify open or upcoming roles that may better fit your professional background.
