About Giga

Giga builds the electrical infrastructure that powers the modern world. We manufacture transformers, switchboards, and modular data centers for customers across the United States and the globe. Together, our team combines fresh perspectives with deep industry experience to solve real-world problems for our customers. We move fast and think practically. If you're ready to make an impact in an industry that matters, we're looking for people like you.


About the Role

As an Account Executive focused on the data center market, you serve as the revenue engine of our business, driving growth through ambitious sales targets and dedicated customer engagement. You leverage deep technical knowledge of our transformer and switchboard products to develop solutions and quotes that meet customer requirements. You act as the primary point of contact for data center focused EPCs, electrical contractors, consulting engineers, data center operators, colocation providers, and other enterprise customers, building and maintaining long-term relationships through consistent engagement and excellent service. Working collaboratively with customers and internal teams, you manage customer inquiries, process RFQs, and ensure customer satisfaction throughout the entire sales cycle. You also leverage every customer interaction to maximize sales opportunities and expand our market presence in the rapidly growing data center sector.


Role Responsibilities

  • Primary Customer Contact: Serve as the primary point of contact for your accounts by maintaining regular communication, responding promptly to inquiries, understanding their business needs, and building strong relationships with key decision-makers.
  • Product Knowledge and Solution Design: Develop and maintain a strong technical understanding of our transformer and switchboard product lines, including key specifications, common configurations, and competitive differentiators. Use this knowledge to effectively match customer requirements with appropriate solutions and build accurate preliminary quotes independently for standard products.
  • Requirements Analysis and Quote Development: Gather and analyze customer technical requirements, site conditions, and project specifications to develop comprehensive quotes. For standard configurations, independently develop quotes while recognizing when to engage Sales Engineering support for complex or custom solutions. Ensure all quotes accurately reflect customer needs, delivery requirements, and commercial terms.
  • Account Development: Identify and pursue opportunities to expand business relationships with existing accounts, grow revenue, and strengthen our position as a preferred supplier.
  • Managing Account Profit Margins: Own your accounts' P&L statements with a focus on maximizing revenue and maintaining strong profit margins. Drive pricing strategies that optimize both sales volume and profitability.
  • Technical Coordination: When complex requirements arise, collaborate with Sales Engineers and Product Teams to address technical questions, validate specifications, and ensure customer needs are met accurately and efficiently. Coordinate internal resources to support customer requirements throughout the sales cycle.
  • New Business Generation: When engaging with existing customers, leverage established relationships to identify and pursue new business opportunities through referrals, networking, and industry connections. Actively seek introductions to new branches, sister companies, or business partners of current accounts to expand our customer base.
  • Pipeline Management: Maintain an accurate and up-to-date sales pipeline within Hubspot, including detailed opportunity tracking, activity logging, and deal forecasting. Ensure all customer interactions, quotes, and deal stages are properly documented to support reliable revenue forecasting and team collaboration.
  • Product and Market Intelligence: Stay current on industry trends, competitor activities, and product developments in the electrical distribution and renewables space. Provide regular feedback to Product and Marketing teams about customer needs, market demands, and competitive pressures to help inform product development and go-to-market strategies.
  • Process POs: Collaborate with the Finance Team to convert quotes and POs into invoices, ensuring all critical details like delivery information and AP contacts are accurately captured and documented.
  • Revenue Collection: Collaborate with Accounts Payable to ensure your accounts’ pay on schedule and coordinate communication in the event of extended late payment.
  • Strategic Performance Reporting: Lead bi-weekly presentations to go-to-market leadership covering key account metrics, strategic initiatives, pipeline developments, and risk factors. Provide data-driven insights on market trends, competitive dynamics, and opportunities for growth while highlighting wins and addressing challenges proactively.


About You

You bring a dynamic blend of technical understanding and commercial instinct, paired with the relationship-building skills that come from recognizing how strong partnerships drive project success. Your consultative approach is balanced by your natural ability to understand and translate customer requirements into practical solutions. You dive into the details of customer specifications while keeping sight of the bigger picture, managing multiple opportunities with both strategic focus and day-to-day hustle. Above all, you're driven by growing data center energy infrastructure and thrive in connecting customer needs with innovative solutions.
