About You
You love talking to people about water and are passionate about helping cities adapt and thrive in an uncertain climate future. Communication skills are paramount as your job is to work directly with public works employees, engineers, contractors, analysts, scientists, and even the public. You are great at reaching out and following up with customers, partners, and contractors. Most of all, you want to delight our customers through both their product experience and their working relationship with StormSensor, and you enjoy seeing people succeed – with your help, of course!
In this era of remote work, you are performant while working remotely from home – but you must also thrive in the field and in front of customers. You are excited to get your hands dirty, seeing firsthand challenges prospective customers face. You enjoy building a sales pipeline, giving product presentations and exceeding sales goals.

Able to solve any problem you put your mind to, or at the very least you can figure out the best person to solve that problem.

Comfortable being uncomfortable. You have the courage to get through tough situations and tough times.
A mentor. You can communicate collaboratively with everyone, both team members and customers.
Able to ask for and accept feedback gracefully and effectively.
Able to bounce back from failure and realize you’re not in this alone.
