Who we are, what we do

Sensat is a geospatial AI business that powers advanced and highly functional digital twins for the world's most critical infrastructure projects. We partner with the world's largest construction, engineering and critical infrastructure companies, such as National Grid, who publicly state they have saved over $21m deploying Sensat and achieve ROI of 1% on all capital projects. We enable our customers to fight the costly, high-risk "Status Quo" of siloed data, people, and processes. Our AI-powered digital twins help teams digitally visualise, plan and manage projects, providing project confidence through clarity.

We are a high-trust, high-impact team who offer purpose driven work. We operate autonomously and with flexibility within an agile, flat structure. We look for highly talented, adaptable and curious individuals who love solving meaningful problems and who share our resilient team spirit when facing challenges!

We more than doubled our ARR in 2025, with a strong pipeline that positions us for another year of 100%+ ARR growth this year. Backed by over $35 million in funding from blue-chip investors like National Grid Partners and recent entry to the US market, this is an exciting time to join the Sensat team!

The role - why it exists & why it’s interesting

As one of our first two US hires, you aren't just joining a Sales team; you are helping build the foundation of Sensat North America. We are already proven in the UK; now, we need a founding salesperson who understands the North American utilities landscape inside out.

You’ll be an end-to-end owner. You’ll lead the charge on inbound opportunities from our marketing engine while proactively generating and closing your own deals. We’re looking for someone who can navigate complex enterprise deals and build deep relationships in a sector that is primed for digital transformation.

What you’ll be doing
  • Driving Growth and owning the end-to end: Prospect, engage and close commercial sales opportunities within the energy and utilities sectors.

  • Building the Pipeline: Leveraging our tech stack and AI to surface high-intent leads, while using your industry relationships to turn cold outreach into warm, value-driven conversations with our Ideal Customer Profile (ICP).

  • Creating Clarity: Building value-driven business cases that show infrastructure leaders exactly how Sensat solves their specific pain points.

  • Collaborating: Working as a tight-knit squad with Product, Marketing, and Engineering to ensure our US market feedback directly shapes our roadmap.

  • Closing with Rigor: Moving opportunities through the funnel with precision, ensuring every deal is set up for long-term success.

  • Working daily with the UK team: Get ready for truly global collaboration! You’ll partner with our UK team on a daily basis, but we also believe in the power of in-person connection. The UK team will frequently travel to North America to work alongside you, and you’ll enjoy regular trips across the pond to our UK office. You won't just be working with them, you’ll be a fully integrated, highly valued part of our international team!

What you’ll bring
  • Utilities Expertise: 2+ years of deep experience in the utilities sector. Specifically on transmission projects. Ideally we want someone who understands civil infrastructure and someone who knows the project life-cycle and knows how projects move from one phase to another. You speak their language and understand their challenges.

  • Startup Experience: Has succeeded in a startup or early-stage company where resources were limited and expectations were high.

  • Brings a builder mentality—you don’t wait for direction, you create it

  • SaaS Track Record: 3-6 years in SaaS sales, specifically closing enterprise deals in the $300k - $1M ARR range.

  • Master of the Craft: You take pride in the science of sales. You value execution over luck and use frameworks like MEDDPICCR to bring clarity to complex enterprise deals; leaving nothing to chance and ensuring every milestone is met methodically.

  • The "Sensat" Spirit: You have the grit to operate autonomously and the resilience to build a market from scratch.

  • Communication: You can take a complex AI solution and make it feel simple, obvious, and necessary for a client.

  • Team Mindset: You want to be a cornerstone and builder of a high-growth business, not just a number on a leaderboard.

What we'll bring
  • 💰 Total Compensation: $120-140k base + commission 100% OTE, stock options

  • 🩺 Comprehensive Healthcare: Premium Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance

  • 🔐 Retirement: 401(k) retirement plan with company matching (4%)

  • 🏝️ Time Off: Generous PTO policy plus paid Federal holidays

  • 🌍 Work from Anywhere: A fully remote role with a flexible schedule that respects your output over your hours

  • 💻 Setup for Success: New MacBook Pro and a dedicated home-office budget to build your ideal workspace

  • 🧠 Growth Mindset: $1000 annual Learning & Development stipend for personal growth, professional courses, or certifications. 👨‍🏫

  • 🚀 High-Trust Culture: Autonomy and responsibility from Day 1 to build the US market

  • 🔥 Team Connection: Regular virtual meetups and in-person offsites to stay connected with the team

****As Sensat expands from the UK to the US, we are committed to providing a high-standard, competitive benefits package. We are currently partnering with a leading Professional Employer Organisation (PEO) to finalise the above benefits package. While exact plan details and contribution percentages are finalised during the onboarding process, our comprehensive package for US employees includes the above.

At this time, we can only accept applications from those who have the right to work in the United States or Canada.

This role is a remote-first position. Travel to customer sites out of state once a week, on average, would not be unusual. You should ideally be situated near an airport for travel.

Please note: This role includes an initial 4 week onboarding period at our UK headquarters (timing to be agreed). Travel and accommodation will be arranged and covered by the company.

"The position is remote but requires the candidate to be based in or within a short distance of the Eastern Time Zone and available to work hours that coincide with UK working hours to support effective cross-team collaboration.”
