Company Overview
Driven by our vision of the affordable, reliable, net-zero carbon grid of the future, Mainspring has developed a new category of power generation — the linear generator — that delivers local, scalable, and fuel-flexible power to help accelerate the transition to the net-zero carbon grid.
The unique combination of attributes offered by Mainspring’s linear generator enables applications on both the commercial and utility sides of the meter for the $816B global electricity equipment market. We serve a wide range of Fortune 500 customers across markets and industries as well as top-tier utilities and other gridside providers.
We are looking to build relationships with people who share our values:
Responsibilities
As a Sales Associate, every day will bring new opportunities to help our customers succeed. On a daily basis, you'll dive into connecting with potential clients, nurturing initial stage pipeline and will work side by side with a team of Account Executives helping drive opportunities to close.
What makes this job unique is the chance to be a part of a culture that celebrates success and learns from every challenge. Our team is collaborative and supportive, providing you with the resources to reach your full potential. You'll be making an impact not just on our company's growth, but also on the success of our customers' businesses. At the end of each day, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing your efforts are directly contributing to the vibrant energy and success of our dynamic company.
Does your experience not meet all of our posted requirements? Studies have shown that some people are less likely to apply to positions unless they meet every listed requirement. At Mainspring, we are committed to building a diverse, inclusive, flexible, and collaborative environment, so if you want to help us transition the world to clean and affordable electricity, and don’t meet all posted requirements for a particular role, we’d still love to hear from you. Mainspring can sometimes be flexible enough to shift responsibilities for the right person, or otherwise identify open or upcoming roles that may better fit your professional background.
