Mantis Innovation is a leading facility performance consultant and project delivery engine that delivers smart, sustainable solutions that improve facility performance and unlock operational efficiencies. We serve over 70% of what a building owner/operator spends on their buildings inside and out, including the building envelope, pavements, mechanical systems, lighting, energy procurement, and technology ecosystem. Our company delivers custom outcomes for our clients that reduce operating costs, flatten capital spending, reduce carbon emissions, and drive sustainability ambition.
General Purpose:

- Create and revise solution scopes to meet ROI, payback, and performance targets.
- Present solution strategies and value-based proposals to decision-makers, facility managers, and engineers.

- Utilize business and financial knowledge to develop compelling value propositions that align with client goals.
- Coordinate internal stakeholders in crafting customized deal structures and solution positioning.

- Engage in high-level executive conversations to understand business priorities, financial drivers, and strategic objectives.
- Navigate complex accounts with multiple sites, global footprints, or high operational complexity.
- Share best practices across the sales organization and support coaching of fellow sales executives.
- Collaborate with utility providers and internal teams to qualify projects for available energy incentives and rebates.
- Drive favorable solution specifications and influence smart building standards with consultants and design engineers.
- Coordinate with solution engineers and project delivery teams to ensure project feasibility, profitability, and execution success.
- Develop and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders including end users, contractors, and engineering firms.
- Travel for client-facing meetings, site visits, and presentations (estimated 40–50%).
Qualifications:
- 5+ years of complex solution selling experience in building automation, energy efficiency, and critical facility/data center environments.
