Account Executive - USA (East Coast)

Neara is a software technology company that provides a physics-enabled digital twin platform specifically designed for electric utility infrastructure. The platform enables utilities to create a behaviourally identical digital model of their entire network, integrating assets, surrounding terrain, weather conditions, and vegetation into a single physics-accurate environment. This allows network operators to simulate real-world scenarios including severe weather events, wildfires, floods, and equipment failures to understand risk, predict outcomes, and prioritize interventions before incidents occur. Neara's mission centers on improving the resilience, safety, and efficiency of energy infrastructure, which directly supports the clean energy transition by helping utilities manage aging grids, reduce outages, and enable the integration of renewable energy sources. The platform addresses critical climate-related challenges such as wildfire mitigation, storm response, and flood management, making it a key tool for utilities facing increasing climate-driven grid risks. By replacing fragmented point solutions with a unified model, Neara helps reduce the environmental and financial costs associated with infrastructure failures and inefficient maintenance. What distinguishes Neara is its use of physics-based simulation rather than statistical approximation, enabling users to move from broad risk awareness to precise failure prediction and actionable planning. The platform supports a wide range of use cases including vegetation analysis, clearance risk assessment, conductor clashing detection, asset lifecycle management, distribution and transmission network design, and regulatory reporting. Neara operates across multiple geographies including the United States, Europe, and Australia and New Zealand, serving major electric utilities seeking to modernize their network management capabilities.

Imagine having the power to stress-test an entire power grid against a hurricane or thunderstorm before the clouds even gather. That is the reality we are creating at Neara.

We use advanced machine learning to create engineering-grade, physics enabled digital twins of electricity grids across four continents, this helps asset owners understand their biggest challenges and bring the most viable solutions to life across millions of kilometres of infrastructure.

By simulating extreme weather and structural stress at a network-wide scale, we empower the world’s largest utilities to pinpoint risks, optimise investments and build a more resilient global energy future.

Our team is a collection of brilliant minds who are fanatical about making a tangible difference in the real world, utilising AI and machine learning to accelerate everything from data classification to complex scenario analysis. We have built a special culture where innovation thrives because everyone owns the mission and we need smart, creative people to help us scale this impact to every corner of the globe.

The Role:

We're looking for a driven, curious, and coachable AE to join our growing sales team. You don't need a resume full of utility logos.

• Navigate complex enterprise buying processes by identifying the right stakeholders, managing multi-threaded deals, and keeping momentum

• Run discovery calls that surface business impact, then building a compelling value narrative that maps directly to the buyer's priorities

• Apply a value-based selling approach to uncover customer pain points, quantify business impact, and connect our solutions to measurable outcomes throughout the sales cycle

• Stay sharp on market trends, competitive dynamics, and customer feedback to continuously sharpen your approach

Who You Are:

• 3–6 years of full sales-cycle experience in B2B SaaS selling complex technical solutions, or in a consulting role

• Understanding of modern sales methodologies and how to apply them situationally a plus

• Communicates clearly at every level of an org, from the C-suite to technical stakeholders

• Experience managing complex enterprise deals with multiple stakeholders and long sales cycles

What We Are Offering You:

• Equity ownership through a competitive Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP)

• Significant career development and growth opportunities

• Highly meritocratic, non-bureaucratic, and low ego work culture

• The opportunity to work on complex, meaningful products and real-world problems
