Account Executive, North America

North American power markets are changing faster than at any time in a generation. Data center and large-load growth, interconnection reform, rapid storage built-out, and market redesigns in North America are reshaping prices and revenues, and developers, utilities, lenders, and investors need independent, bankable analysis to act. Aurora is investing to meet that demand. You will drive business for our software, advisory, and research services across ERCOT, PJM, SPP, MISO, CAISO/WECC, NYISO, ISO-NE, SERC, Alberta and Ontario.

• Qualify rigorously using the BANT methodology before demos, keep Salesforce accurate, and forecast reliably
• Lead tailored software demonstrations that map Aurora’s platform to each client’s investment and operating decisions, and convert advisory work into recurring subscriptions
