Sales Manager - Colombia
Imagine preventing wildfires before they start or ensuring power grids stay resilient during extreme weather. That’s the real-world impact we create every day at Neara.
We build 3D physics-enabled digital twins of critical infrastructure networks that help utilities run scenarios, assess risks, and make smarter decisions that affect millions of lives. We’re not just another tech company, we’re one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential Companies 2024. Our mission is to revolutionize the utilities industry, helping them navigate the challenges of the clean energy transition and future-proof their infrastructure against a changing climate.
Latin America is a priority geography for Neara. Over the last 12 months, we have laid the groundwork and opened doors with major regional players. We are now looking for a strategic Sales Manager/Director in Colombia, to be our foundational experts on the ground.
This is a unique opportunity for an ambitious professional to take ownership of a market. We aren't looking for a pure "hunter" to sell simple licenses; we need a "nourisher" with a technical background who can navigate complex, 12-month consultative sales cycles with large, often state-owned organizations.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Execute on Active Leads: Transition existing, solid leads that are close to signing into signed contracts for initial projects.
Market Ownership: Act as the "first mover" in your region, building your own pipeline of new opportunities while managing and scaling existing client relationships from $50k initial projects to $500k–$1M enterprise partnerships.
Regional Coverage: The Colombia role (Spanish-speaking) will likely cover the broader LATAM region, including Peru, Argentina, Chile, Panama, and Mexico.
Technical Relationship Management: Lead the "engineering side of the chat," guiding senior stakeholders through the complexities of our platform to drive long-term system-wide resilience.
Collaborative Reporting: Formally report to our leadership in London, with close daily mentorship and a dotted-line reporting structure to our regional experts

Language Skills: You are absolutely fluent in English and Spanish
Ambitious Growth Mindset: You aspire to grow from a Sales Manager into a Country Manager or Country Head, leading a full local team as the market matures.

Pivotal, influential role in a scaling business with the opportunity to drive our success. Longer term you could have the opportunity to hire a team and build out our presence in LATAM
Join a global, scaling business at the forefront of the energy utilities SaaS industry as we scale globally - and make a genuine difference in the world around us.
