Sales professionals, are you interested in furthering your career with an industry leader that continues to experience strong market growth? Join our team at STC. We are one of the largest security providers in the world, featuring best-in-class products and award-winning services customized to meet the specific needs of our clients. Due to the continued growth of our Electronic Security group and our dedicated focus on the Utilities and Critical Infrastructure market, we are currently seeking an Sr. Enterprise Account Executive – Utilities / Critical Infrastructure to help us expand our business across the U.S. electrical utilities sector.

This is a national, home-office-based sales role with an emphasis on new logo development, executive relationship building, funded pilot creation, and multi-site expansion within regulated utility accounts. This role will sell into electric, water and gas investor-owned utilities, municipal utilities, cooperatives, generation companies, transmission and distribution operators, power plants, and substations, with a specific focus on electric regulated Tier 1-3 substations and CIP-014 High and Medium Impact sites.

The Enterprise Account Executive – Utilities / Critical Infrastructure will report to the Utilities Vertical Leader / Director of Vertical Markets and operate as part of a dedicated utilities vertical team. This is a peer-level or senior-level role relative to the National Enterprise Account Executive position, reflecting the specialized vertical mandate, national territory, regulatory fluency, and account complexity required for success.

Working from your home office, you will set appointments with and present our commercial electronic security products and services to utility executives, physical security leaders, NERC CIP compliance owners, engineering leaders, operations leaders, and other key stakeholders responsible for protecting critical infrastructure. This role requires a consultative, risk-based sales approach focused on helping utilities move from a traditional “Guards with Guns” posture to a “Technology Forward” security posture supported by integrated technology, remote services, and scalable multi-site programs.

We offer a generous base salary plus competitive commission on product sales, as well as recurring revenue on our service packages. What’s more, our world-class staff will take care of designing your clients’ systems, leaving you free to do what you do best.

If this sounds like the direction in which you’ve been wanting to take your enterprise security sales career, and if you meet our qualifications, we want to talk with you!
