Responsibilities

• Opportunity Identification & Qualification: you are accountable for creating signal, not noise, at the front end of GSI’s commercial pipeline. Execute disciplined outbound activity across calls, emails, and meetings, measured through a Salesforce-based scoring system that values effectiveness over volume. Create qualified opportunities that convert into defined pursuits, owning both revenue volume and opportunity count. Convert leads into engaged contacts through clear, timely communication, maintaining strong lead-to-contact conversion rates. Add targeted bid lists sourced from general contractors and infrastructure owners, consistently contributing new, qualified sources each month aligned to territory strategy. Use closed orders as a source of intelligence, capturing first-contact insights and feeding learnings back into territory and account plans. Maintain a response time of 30 minutes or less, recognizing speed as a competitive advantage in emergency and high-stakes infrastructure work.
• Sales & Project Development Support: you own accuracy, alignment, and commercial judgment at the handoff between opportunity and pursuit. Ensure deal creation reflects accurate scope of work, strategic intent, and technical context, enabling senior engineers to engage at the right altitude. Coordinate with engineering, estimating, and operations teams to support early-stage pursuits without rework or ambiguity. Track opportunities from identification through conversion, maintaining high deal creation accuracy and strategy alignment within Salesforce. Own bid follow-up discipline, ensuring 90%+ of deals are completed with post-deal intelligence captured and documented in Salesforce. Support pricing and proposal workflows with speed and precision, reducing friction downstream.
• CRM, Reporting & Market Intelligence: you are responsible for the integrity and usefulness of GSI’s commercial data. Maintain Salesforce as a decision-support system, not a reporting graveyard—accurate, current, and actionable. Monitor pipeline health, opportunity movement, and conversion trends with clarity. Track and report competitor activity, agency funding programs, and market signals. Ensure wins, losses, and stalled pursuits are fully documented to strengthen future strategy.
• Relationship & Brand Enablement: y ou are an extension of GSI’s reputation in the market. Represent GSI professionally in early-stage client, consultant, and partner interactions. Support conferences, trade shows, and industry events with disciplined preparation and follow-up that translates into real pipeline activity. Maintain consistent, value-driven communication that builds long-term trust.
