About Primtech North America (pNoA)

Primtech North America (pNoA) is a joint venture established to accelerate the adoption of modern, database-driven substation design and digitalization solutions across North America. pNoA supports utilities and engineering partners through a combined motion of software enablement and high-value services (training, implementation, digitalization, and advisory) to improve project outcomes and lifecycle asset intelligence.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own go-to-market execution for territory and named accounts across North American utilities and adjacent ecosystem partners (EPCs, OEMs, survey/scanning providers, integrators).

• Maintain CRM rigor (data quality, activity logging, pipeline hygiene) and continuously improve the funnel through metric-driven learning.

• Build account plans and multi-threaded relationships across Client buying centers (engineering, substation standards, asset management, operations, OT/cyber, finance, procurement).

• Lead consultative discovery to uncover high-value problems, define success criteria, and shape solution pathways (workshops, assessments, pilots, rollouts).

• Create customer-ready business cases and ROI narratives that support client internal approvals (including executive and board-level justification where relevant).

• Develop and maintain a measurable sales pipeline with disciplined stage gates; produce accurate forecasts and drive timely progression of opportunities.

• Convert early engagements into paid pilots and scale pilots into multi-site or programmatic deployments; coordinate commercial terms, scope, pricing, and delivery approach.

• Coordinate proposals/RFP responses and negotiated pursuits; assemble cross-functional pursuit teams and manage timelines, messaging, and win themes.

• Capture and institutionalize reusable sales assets (pitch decks, qualification checklists, discovery guides, proposal templates) to scale repeatable selling.

• Partner closely with Entegra application engineering and delivery teams to plan demonstrations, proof points, and implementation readiness.

• Align internal and partner stakeholders on roles, responsibilities, handoffs, and commercial models (software, services, and ongoing support).

• Represent pNoA externally through industry events, conferences, webinars, and targeted customer briefings; build credibility and demand through thought leadership.

Success Measures (OKRs / KPIs):

• Signed revenue for pNoA software and implementation services (quarterly and annual targets).

• Qualified pipeline value and coverage vs target, pipeline created per quarter.

• Stage conversion rates, win rate, and sales cycle time by deal type (pilot vs program).

• Forecast accuracy (commit vs actual) and CRM hygiene (stale deals, missing next steps, data completeness).

• Pilot-to-program conversion rate and average time from first engagement to funded rollout.

• Average deal size and contribution margin on sold work.

• Account penetration metrics (executive sponsor relationships established; number of buying centers engaged).

• Industry presence metrics (targeted events supported/led; sourced pipeline attribution where applicable).

Core Skills:

• Enterprise prospecting and account planning; multi-threading across stakeholders.

• Value-based selling and business-case creation; ROI storytelling.

• Pipeline discipline (qualification, stage progression, close plans, forecasting).

• Pursuit leadership (capture strategy, proposal management, messaging).

• Collaboration with technical and delivery teams; orchestration across functions.

• Comfort operating with ambiguity and building repeatable systems from early-stage operating models.

Required Qualifications:

• 12+ years of enterprise business development, consultative sales, or strategic account growth experience in utilities, grid infrastructure, industrial, or infrastructure technology markets.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business Administration, Finance, Economics, Information Systems, or a closely related discipline.

• Demonstrated success selling complex solutions that combine software/platform capabilities with professional services delivery (implementation, advisory, managed programs).

• Proven ability to navigate long-cycle procurement, multi-stakeholder buying committees, and formal governance environments.

• Strong commercial acumen: scoping, pricing models, contracting concepts, and margin-aware selling.

• Experience running disciplined pipelines in a CRM and forecasting against quarterly targets.

• Excellent executive communication skills (written, verbal, and presentation); able to translate technical value into business outcomes.

• Ability to operate in a joint-venture environment with multiple stakeholders and shared accountability.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with substation design workflows, utility asset management, GIS/enterprise integration, or digital twin programs.

• Background working in or alongside engineering/professional services firms (AEC, EPC, advisory) with a productized digital offering.

• Track record converting pilots into scaled, repeatable programs across multiple sites or regions.

• Familiarity with utility regulatory context and capital program planning (T&D portfolios, standards, and modernization initiatives).

What We Offer:

• Opportunity to build and scale a high-growth digitalization business in the North American utility market.
