Director, Grid Reliability & Modernization
About The Position
The E Source Data Science business unit is looking for a Director, Sales Innovation with an entrepreneurial spirit who finds great satisfaction in building something from the ground up. You should possess an executive presence with a keen ability to translate innovative data-driven concepts into a clear and concise message that resonates with prospective clients and helps them understand the value of doing something new and transformative.

We help utilities target and serve their customers more effectively, enhance and optimize their grid, and leverage operating best practices and technologies to manage their business more effectively. Headquartered in Texas, we have 450+ employees across the US and Canada.
