About The Position

AI infrastructure is reshaping America. Data centers, power generation, transmission infrastructure, industrial projects, and energy systems are expanding at unprecedented speed, but increasingly face constraints around permitting, water availability, community acceptance, environmental performance, and long-term resilience. We believe infrastructure developers increasingly need measurable environmental outcomes integrated directly into project development. Grassroots Carbon is building that solution. We are seeking a commercially driven, relationship-oriented builder to create and scale a new revenue stream focused on helping data centers and infrastructure projects integrate localized environmental solutions into project development. This is a highly entrepreneurial enterprise sales role at the intersection of AI infrastructure, energy, water stewardship, and regenerative agriculture. You will be responsible for building pipelines, closing contracts, creating strategic partnerships, and establishing Grassroots Carbon as a preferred environmental solutions partner for infrastructure development. You will own customer relationships, enterprise sales, commercialization efforts, and go-to-market execution across one of the fastest-growing sectors in the economy.
