Crete United is hiring a National Sales Director – Enterprise Accounts to play a critical role in driving revenue generation and supporting the continued growth of new business across the country. As a key member of the Enterprise Accounts team, the National Sales Manager’s success will be determined by their ability to achieve sales targets by generating a pipeline of qualified opportunities, taking direct ownership of advancing the opportunities through the stages of deal progression, negotiating & closing agreements, and facilitating the transition of closed-won deals to internal teammates in operations and/or the strategic accounts group for execution as part of a best-in-class customer experience.

In this role, you will guide and assist customers through a consultative sales process to develop a single-source solution that achieves their goals by leveraging our unified platform of capabilities where we collaborate nationally and execute locally in various scopes; mechanical, electrical, plumbing, energy, utility, and building automation.
