This position plays a critical role in expanding our presence with electric utilities, independent power producers, and grid operators by aligning client challenges with 1898 & Co.'s full suite of services.

  • Partner with internal subject matter experts and delivery leaders to develop compelling solutions, value propositions, and measurable outcomes.
  • Convert early-stage conversations into qualified pipeline and revenue-generating work.

Client Engagement & Relationship Management
  • Build and maintain trusted advisor relationships with senior decision-makers across utilities, independent power producers, grid operators, and regulatory organizations.
  • Partner with Client Engagement Leaders to expand and deepen relationships within strategic accounts.
  • Lead high-impact client meetings, workshops, and executive discussions.
  • Coordinate with Managing Directors on key client interactions and priority pursuits.
  • Represent 1898 & Co. at industry conferences, events, and forums to strengthen brand presence and expand networks.

Cross Functional Collaboration
  • Collaborate with Business Line Leaders, Client Engagement Leaders, and Managing Directors to align client strategies and pursuit priorities.
  • Partner with consulting, engineering, and delivery teams to align client needs with high-quality, integrated solutions.
  • Coordinate with marketing, account teams, and leadership throughout the business development lifecycle.
  • Leverage the broader Burns & McDonnell platform to deliver cross-functional and cross-selling opportunities.

Sales Process & CRM Utilization
  • Lead the full sales lifecycle from lead generation and contract negotiation through execution.
  • Maintain accurate pipeline tracking, forecasting, and client activity within the Client Relationship Management (CRM) system.
  • Provide regular updates, insights, and pipeline visibility to senior leadership to support decision-making.
  • Drive disciplined opportunity progression and alignment across internal stakeholders.

What Success Looks Like

  • Previous experience developing and delivering training presentations related to proposal communications, proposal strategies, business development and/or pursuit strategies.
  • Deep experience within power markets, electric utilities, independent power producers, or grid operators, with strong understanding of market structures, regulatory environments, and industry drivers.
  • Demonstrated success in consultative business development, including shaping opportunities prior to formal RFPs and influencing client decision-making at early stages.
  • Proven ability to build and maintain executive-level client relationships and operate as a trusted advisor.
  • Experience developing and converting complex, multi-disciplinary engagements involving strategy, advisory, technology, and/or implementation services.
