Sell Aurora's SaaS and data products to utilities, investors, and governments. Qualify leads, manage pipeline in Salesforce, negotiate contracts, grow accounts via cross-sell/up-sell, relay client feedback to product, support marketing campaigns, and represent the company at local and international events.

We're looking for a senior commercial professional who knows the energy sector inside out and is ready to work at the intersection of deep market expertise and enterprise software sales. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role — you'll own strategic relationships with key accounts, shape our go-to-market approach for major clients, and help define how Aurora's software portfolio grows.

- Structure and negotiate sophisticated commercial agreements, including multi-product and multi-year deals
- Drive cross-sell and up-sell opportunities across Aurora's full software suite, identifying where our tools can deepen client value
- Strategy & Market Positioning
