Your space-enabled career begins here

Location: Texas or Oklahoma preferred; other major US methane-producing regions considered (Permian Basin, DJ Basin, Appalachia) Reports to: Chief Revenue Officer Employment Type: Full-time

Who We Are
SensorUp is the only software platform that supports oil and gas operators across the full emissions management lifecycle, from field inspections and leak detection through repair verification, regulatory and voluntary reporting, continuous improvement, carbon accounting, and audit. We work with some of the world's leading upstream and midstream operators, and we're growing our enterprise customer base, with deep strategic partnerships. We are building toward a future where AI-assisted emissions management is the norm, not the exception.

Our team is small, collaborative, and moving fast. You'll work alongside a team of sales, marketing, and product professionals who are passionate about eliminating fugitive methane emissions and delivering value to our customers. We are a Canadian company with staff across North America.

Why Now
Methane is money. Operators who find and fix leaks faster recover product, reduce liability, and improve margins — independent of what regulators require. The economics of emissions management have always made sense. What's changing is the urgency and the tooling to act on it.

At the same time, the regulatory and voluntary reporting landscape is accelerating in ways that matter to the operators SensorUp works with. The EU Methane Regulation is creating real pressure on international producers and their partners. OGMP 2.0 is raising the bar on how emissions are measured and reported. Corporate sustainability commitments, backed by compensation structures tied to emissions intensity, are driving operators to want better data, faster. SensorUp is purpose-built for this moment, and this role is about getting in front of the right people at the right time.

The Role
We're looking for a Sales Executive to own new business development in the US market. This is a research, prospecting, and early-stage commercial closing role. You'll identify and qualify opportunities, build relationships with operators and partners, develop pilot and initial license deals, and get them across the finish line. You'll work closely with our Product and Customer Success teams on scoping and value prop, and you'll hand off cleanly once the first deal is closed.

A significant part of how SensorUp goes to market is through a network of strategic partners, including technology integrators, consulting firms, environmental service providers, and data companies who are already embedded with the operators we're targeting. You'll work that network actively: developing partner relationships, working referrals, and co-developing opportunities. This is not a cold-call-from-a-list job. It rewards people who build genuine relationships and know how to move through an industry ecosystem.

You'll be the person who builds pipeline where there isn't any, qualifies fast, brings the right internal resources to bear at the right moment, and closes the first deal with a new customer. Initial deals typically range from $50,000 to $500,000 USD, with sales cycles of 3–12 months depending on operator size and procurement complexity.

Your Influence
Research and Prospecting

• Build pipeline from scratch in upstream and midstream oil and gas accounts across target geographies, beginning in the US
• Research target accounts to understand their emissions & carbon management challenges, organizational structure, regulatory exposure, and buying signals
• Identify and engage the right contacts at target operators, using partner relationships, industry networks, events, and direct outreach
• Qualify opportunities quickly and disqualify without hesitation when fit isn't there

Partner Engagement

• Develop and maintain active relationships with SensorUp's strategic partners in technology, consulting, environmental services, and data
  
• Work partner-referred pipeline effectively: follow up on referrals, co-develop opportunities, represent SensorUp credibly in partner-led conversations
  
• Use partners as a source of market intelligence, account access, and deal support

Early-Stage Commercial Development

• Lead pilot and initial license opportunities from first conversation through signed contract
  Coordinate with Product and Customer Success on scoping, value prop, and proposal development
  
• Develop and deliver proposals, manage pricing and scope alignment internally, and navigate procurement and contracting processes at large operators
  
• Attend industry events and conferences (e.g. CERAWeek, methane and emissions-focused forums) to build relationships and surface opportunities

Handoff and Collaboration

• Execute clean post-close handoffs to Customer Success with full context on customer goals, commitments, and stakeholders
  
• Maintain accurate and current opportunity data in CRM

Your Experience

• Ideally, 7+ years of overall professional experience, with 3-5 years in commercial roles such as sales or business development
  
• Demonstrated track record of building pipeline from scratch, not just managing existing accounts or relationships handed to you
  
• Preferred: experience working in or with oil and gas in the US, in operations, sustainability, ESG, or a related function; you understand how operators think, how they're organized, and what keeps them up at night
  
• Candidates from adjacent industries are welcome: midstream services, environmental consulting, oilfield services, or sustainability-focused roles with strong upstream/midstream exposure
  
• Experience working partner or channel-referred pipeline alongside direct outreach

Who You Are

• A natural networker who builds real relationships
  
• Comfortable doing the research and groundwork to understand an account before picking up the phone
  
• Motivated by commission and comfortable with a comp structure that rewards results
  
• Based in Texas or Oklahoma, or deeply embedded in the US upstream/midstream market
  
• Comfortable in a small, high-ownership environment where you'll have real autonomy and real accountability
