Advanced Utility Systems, a division of Harris; is seeking a Senior Account Executive who is a proven new-business hunter ready to join our sales team. You will win new municipal utility customers for our CIS Infinity platform and the products around it. This role is not an account management or install base expansion position. We hire people who open doors, earn a seat at the table before the RFP exists, and carry a pursuit from first conversation to signed contract. Municipal utility buying decisions run through formal procurement. Boards, city councils, finance directors, and operations leaders all weigh in, and the RFP often decides the outcome. The Account Executive who wins in this market builds relationships early, understands what a utility is trying to fix, and helps shape the evaluation criteria before a competitor does. It carries no formal management duties. It does offer an informal opportunity to mentor and develop a new sales team member who supports new customer acquisition, and to guide that person as an aide to your pursuit work. We plan to expand the sales team to grow faster in 2027 and 2028, and you will help shape how new sellers learn our market and our process. You will also set the pace for how our sales organization uses AI in RFP response, proposal writing, demonstrations, and closing. A seasoned enterprise software hunter who has sold to municipal utilities and won. You earn business by building trust with public sector buyers over long cycles, and you can show the deals you opened, not the accounts you inherited.

Win New Municipal Utility Accounts Own a new-logo quota across North American municipal electric, water, wastewater, and gas utilities, with no install base farming responsibility. Build and work a target account plan that identifies utilities with aging CIS platforms, upcoming contract expirations, leadership changes, and budget cycles that signal a buying window. Develop relationships with the full buying group, including utility managers, finance directors, customer service leaders, IT leaders, and city or board decision makers. Run disciplined discovery that connects a utility's operational pain, such as staff retirements, billing accuracy, call volume, and cost to serve, to a business case the buying committee can defend.
