This role will focus on selling and marketing a proprietary interactive search and visualization platform which is used for extracting insights from the most complete database of energy infrastructure assets in North America.

Prospect organizations range from energy producers, utilities and service providers to investment banks, insurers, regulatory agencies and more.
