Territory Sales Lead - South

About Resource Monitor Resource Monitor is a venture-backed technology company modernizing industrial water management through quality IoT solutions. Our platform combines remotely connected digital flow meters with intuitive software, enabling businesses to monitor, manage, and conserve water resources while reducing costs and ensuring regulatory compliance. Our Generational Opportunity Groundwater is a massive and technologically neglected component of the water industry, accounting for: 50% of global drinking water 43% of global irrigation 33% of global industrial water Groundwater is becoming scarce due to overuse and climate change. In the California Central Valley alone, groundwater depletion is estimated to cost roughly $1.3 billion in reduced crop yields, increased pumping costs, and subsidence damage. We’re setting out to change how groundwater is used by shifting the industry from an inherently reactive position – where changes only occur after water has been used – to a proactive one, allowing for nimble decision‑making, cost savings, and water conservation. Position Overview We’re seeking a Territory Sales Lead to drive growth in your assigned territory through a balanced approach of direct customer sales and channel partner development. In this role, you’ll build relationships with both end‑users and channel partners (distributors and well contractors), managing complex sales cycles and creating a sustainable revenue pipeline within your region. Startup DNA Required: This is not your typical sales role. As an early employee at Resource Monitor, you’ll join a fast‑moving startup at a pivotal moment. We’re looking for someone who thrives in ambiguity, moves with urgency, and is energized by building something from scratch. You’ll wear multiple hats, work directly with founders, and significantly influence the company trajectory. The role requires an entrepreneurial mindset - someone willing to trade the certainty of an established company for the potential of outsized equity returns and the chance to shape an industry. This isn’t your role if you’re looking for structured processes, established playbooks, or a traditional corporate hierarchy. But if you’re excited by the challenge of turning market opportunity into market dominance, can operate with limited resources, and want to bet on yourself while helping solve one of the world’s most critical resource challenges, we should talk.
