About Mojave Energy Systems, Inc. Mojave is changing the nature of air conditioning. Air conditioning consumes ~9% of total global electricity production and results in the emissions of 1 billion tons of carbon dioxide annually. It is time for a change, and Mojave’s liquid desiccant air conditioning systems are doing just that. If you want to change the world, starting with the world of air conditioning, then you may belong at Mojave. We are looking for purpose-driven team members who enjoy problem solving, teamwork, and personal growth to join our venture-backed company.   ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY The Regional Sales Manager will be responsible for driving sales growth across an assigned territory by developing the sales channel, building engineer demand, supporting strategic projects, and converting opportunities into bookings. This person will work closely with independent manufacturer reps, MEP consultants, mechanical contractors, owners, developers, and internal Mojave teams to position Mojave as the preferred solution for humidity control, DOAS, and high-performance dehumidification applications.

Own regional sales strategy and execution; Create territory plans that define target accounts, key engineers, strategic reps, vertical priorities, competitive threats, and booking targets. Support project development from concept to close: Work with reps and customers through early design, selection, pricing, bidding, submittals, value engineering, and purchase order conversion. Translate technical value into commercial wins: Help customers understand how Mojave can reduce energy use, improve humidity control, reduce moisture-related issues, and improve system-level HVAC performance. Maintain disciplined CRM and forecasting: Keep opportunities, project stages, close dates, values, next steps, and key stakeholders updated. Provide clear visibility into committed bookings, best-case opportunities, and long-term basis-of-design pipeline. Collaborate with internal Mojave teams: Coordinate with applications engineering, product, operations, marketing, service, and leadership to support selections, proposals, project execution, customer feedback, and strategic account growth. Represent Mojave as a category leader: Attend rep meetings, engineer lunch-and-learns, trade shows, customer events, and industry functions as a credible voice for high-performance dehumidification and next-generation HVAC design.   QUALIFICATIONS   Required Strong experience in HVAC sales, applied equipment sales, engineering sales, or manufacturer representative sales.
