The role
We’re adding a senior, full-desk Account Executive who wants to build a book of business in renewable energy. You’ll open and own new client relationships, sell our search services (Contingency, engaged/container, contract staffing, etc.), and run searches from intake to offer supported by a strong sourcing team, best in class technology (Loxo, Noon AI, Linkedin Recruiter, Zoominfo, etc) so you can focus on prospecting, advising and closing. For the right person this role grows into leading a practice area.

- Represent Peak Demand at industry events and on LinkedIn
What you bring
- 3+ years of agency recruiting with a full desk (BD and delivery), ideally in renewable energy, power, utilities or infrastructure.
- A track record of opening accounts yourself, with numbers to back it up
- Comfort selling engaged/container or retained search, not just contingency
- Strong phone presence, judgment with senior candidates and clients, and the discipline to run a desk remotely.
- Strong knowledge of the solar/BESS ecosystem
- ATS/CRM experience (Loxo a plus)
What we offer
- Base salary of $65,000–$85,000 based on experience and track record of driving new client growth, plus uncapped commission, starting with your first placement.
- Medical, dental, 401(k) and profit sharing opportunities.
- A dedicated sourcing and research team supporting your searches
- Remote first organization with little bureaucracy, and a path to practice leadership.
