Job Overview

The Account Executive, Industrial is a high-stakes "hunter" who thrives on strategic target accounts. You aren't just selling hardware; you are architecting future-state energy solutions for sophisticated stakeholders in the Oil & Gas and Heavy Industrial sectors. You will take the baton from our leadership team to own the full sales cycle—from initial latent interest to executed multi-million dollar contracts.


Core Responsibilities
  • Execute the Target Account Strategy: Own and manage a concentrated portfolio of strategic target accounts, executing on plans to nurture relationships and create repeatable buyers

  • Contract Execution: Drive the "last mile" of the sales process. You are responsible for moving deals from "Progress" to "Closed-Won" and meeting annual quota targets

  • Relationship Architecture: Build deep, lasting trust with technical champions and C-suite executives, ensuring Mainspring is the preferred partner for long-term energy infrastructure

  • Technical Value Selling: Articulate the complex value proposition of our linear generator, including project finance concepts (IRR, NPV) and technical hardware integration

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with engineering and business development to feed market intelligence back into our product roadmap


  • Qualifications
  • Experience: 14+ years of experience transacting complex, high-TCV enterprise deals in the energy or heavy industrial space (e.g., Distributed Power Generation, Midstream, Energy Infrastructure, Capital Equipment)

  • Vertical Fluency: Deep domain expertise in Oil & Gas—Midstream or Energy Transition arms of integrated Majors preferred

  • Proven Enterprise Closer: Track record of originating, negotiating, and closing complex hardware/infrastructure deals. (Not a pure BD strategy role—requires direct contract closing experience)

  • Startup Grit: Ability to thrive in fast-paced, high-growth environments; comfortable building a brand’s presence from the ground up without massive corporate support structures

  • Technical Literacy: Ability to master the nuances of distributed power hardware, gas blending/fuel flexibility (Natural Gas, Field Gas, Propane, RNG, Hydrogen), and grid interconnection constraints

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business, or Finance required; MBA or advanced degree 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.
