Vice President of Sales, Corporate Services and Software

About This Opportunity

We are seeking a VP of Sales - Corporate Services & Software.

This is a leadership role responsible for leading enterprise services and software business development and sales and driving new customer acquisition (Growth) for Cascade Energy. Cascade delivers energy efficiency, sustainability, and decarbonization solutions to industrial enterprises, commercial building owners, utilities, program administrators, and government agencies. Our offerings span advisory, program management consulting, program implementation, energy engineering, and technology solutions, including our Gazebo enterprise software platform.

Today, we sell software and services to enterprise customers. We’re looking for a hands-on leader who can sell successfully, systematize what works, build the deal flow, establish the process, build the team to scale, and lead us toward a software-first future. Gazebo is rapidly maturing into a fully-fledged enterprise platform, and this role will lead that commercial evolution — driving go-to-market strategy, building pipeline, closing big deals, and positioning Cascade as both a trusted advisor and a technology company.

This is a builder’s role. You will build and lead a New Client Acquisition team focused on new corporate enterprise customer acquisition. Your focus is on opening new doors and gaining new logos. We require enterprise software business development and sales background because that’s where we’re heading — but you’ll sell the full Cascade portfolio from day one, using software as the tip of the spear to open enterprise relationships that expand across our services.

The right candidate is a strategic thinker and team builder with a hunter’s skillset and instincts with the leadership acumen to coach and develop a high-performing growth team.

Future-Focused AI-Ready Culture

At Cascade Energy, we’re actively shaping how AI gets deployed in the real world, in our tools, our client engagements, and our daily work. Our approach has always been relationship-driven and expertise-led, and AI is how we multiply the impact of both.

Successful Cascadians are curious and resilient. They embrace change, seek smarter ways to create impact, and take ownership of their own growth. We embed AI into our work in ways that are responsible and human-centered, and we actively develop our people to deploy it creatively and confidently.

We believe the future belongs to organizations that pair emerging technology with genuine human expertise. That future is being built here. . . .come be a part of it!
