The role combines strong commercial and negotiation skills with solid technical knowledge in Power Services, acting as a trusted advisor to identify risks, improvement opportunities, and efficiency levers, translating them into high-value service solutions. Functions and responsibilities: The person will be responsible for defining and implementing the service business plan in their area, aligning it with the company's global strategy. They will analyze the installed customer base to identify growth opportunities, prioritizing those with the greatest potential for recurrence and profitability. They will also play an active role in transforming the commercial model toward more sophisticated, digital, and value-oriented service solutions. The position involves creating and developing a solid and sustainable pipeline, identifying opportunities at all stages of the asset lifecycle, from preventive services to modernization and digitalization solutions. The person must systematically integrate service sales into every opportunity, ensuring a complete view of the customer's potential. The candidate will lead complex sales processes, interacting with multiple stakeholders and being able to identify both explicit and implicit customer needs. Their main objective will be to build value propositions based on business indicators (TCO), reducing operational risks and optimizing asset lifecycle, positioning consulting services as a strategic lever for the customer. A key part of the role will be designing, selling, and negotiating maintenance contracts and advanced services, ensuring that any modernization or retrofit opportunity includes an associated service model. They will actively drive recurring business growth, increasing contract penetration in the customer base and promoting digitalized and connected service models. The Senior Services Sales role leads complex negotiations combining technical, commercial, and contractual aspects, with the goal of defending the value of proposals and securing favorable conditions for the company. They manage competitive situations, respond to customer objections, and ensure a proper balance between growth, profitability, and risk management. The role requires building solid, long-term relationships with key customers, interacting with different decision-making levels within organizations, from maintenance managers to operations directors. The person acts as a trusted advisor, positioning themselves as a strategic partner in the management and optimization of the customer's electrical assets. The Senior Services Sales role will collaborate closely with internal teams such as End User, execution, and tendering, ensuring a smooth transition from the commercial phase to service delivery.

Skills and competencies: Technical expertise in Power services: real ability to understand electrical infrastructures and detect retrofit and improvement opportunities in the installed base. Advanced consultative selling: ability to transform technical and operational needs into value propositions focused on business and results. High-level negotiation: experience closing complex contracts, defending value against price pressure and competitive environments. Recurring business focus: mindset focused on generating contracts and ARR models, not just one-off sales. Strategic customer management: ability to influence multiple stakeholders and position yourself as a trusted partner. Pipeline generation and management: autonomy to develop opportunities from origination to close. Strategic vision and value thinking: ability to go beyond the product and connect solutions with customer business impact. Influence and executive communication skills: ability to communicate clearly, structure messages, and build credibility.
