• Competitive salary 

• Paid vacation/holidays/sick time 

• Comprehensive benefits package including 401K, medical, dental, and vision care. 

• On-the-job/cross-training opportunities 

• Encouraging and collaborative team environment

What You’ll Do 

This role includes business development, account leadership and partner / ecosystem strategy. You will drive adoption of direct liquid cooling across hyperscalers, chipmakers, and server OEMs while shaping how full-rack and system-level cooling is deployed. 

Market Development Leadership: Own and expand Stack Forging Thermal Solution’s presence in direct liquid cooling across hyperscalers, chip/semiconductor companies, and server OEMs. Focus on large-scale AI and HPC deployments. 

Strategic Account Growth: Build and lead executive relationships. Position Stack Forging Thermal Solutions as a primary thermal partner for next-generation platforms, including CPUs, GPUs, other ASICs, and peripheral systems. 

Technology Positioning: Translate Stack Forging Thermal Solutions’ Stack Forging microgeometry architecture into clear customer value. Emphasize lower pressure drop, higher thermal efficiency, and system-level gains such as improved PUE and rack density. 

DLC System Expansion: Drive adoption beyond GPUs into full 100% DLC architectures, including peripherals such as VRMs, DIMMs, NICs, and storage. Position Stack Forging Thermal Solutions as a platform solution, not a component vendor. 

Program Origination: Working with the Technical Sales team, identify and secure early-stage design wins. Influence platform specifications and reference designs with OEM and hyperscale partners. 

Cross-Functional Execution: Work closely with engineering, product, and JCI teams to align cold plates, CDUs, and facility-level systems into a unified thermal solution. 

Commercial Structuring: Lead complex deal structures, including MSAs, long-term supply agreements, and co-development programs tied to production scale. 

Who You Are 

You're a quota-focused dealmaker who thrives in long, technical sales cycles with hyperscalers and OEMs. You connect thermal performance to business outcomes and build trust at every level of the account.  

Responsibilities 

*Responsibilities are subject to change based on shifting business needs 

Drive DLC Adoption: Persuasively sell the Stack Forging Thermal Solutions portfolio, focusing on ROI, energy efficiency, and power density. 

Strategic Relationship Management: Act as a trusted advisor to executive and technical stakeholders, anticipating their needs as they transition to Direct Liquid Cooling 

Link Performance to Business Outcomes: Tie Stack Forging Thermal Solutions’s products to measurable gains: reduced pumping power, improved thermal margins, higher compute density, and lower total cost of ownership. 

Market Leadership: Deeply understand the evolving data center landscape, specifically the cooling requirements for AI and high-performance computing (HPC). 

Internal Collaboration: Partner with JCI Cross-Domain Strategic Account Managers and the Technical Sales team to integrate our DLC solutions into broader, complex facility infrastructure deals. 

Pipeline Excellence: Utilize Salesforce to manage complex, long-cycle sales stages, ensuring accurate forecasting and momentum. 

Team Leadership: Lead the opportunity team, coordinating between Technical Sales, Solutions engineering, JCI operations, and external partners to ensure seamless solution delivery. 

Qualifications 

Required Education: Bachelor’s degree in Science or related technical field.  

Experience: 10+ years in business development, technical sales, or strategic account management.  

• Experience scaling products from R&D-to-production in hardware or infrastructure environments. 

• Experience engaging with hyperscalers, Server OEMs, or silicon providers. 

• Ability to communicate complex technical concepts to both engineers and executives. 

Preferred Qualifications 

Education: Master’s degree. 

Experience: Work within data center infrastructure, semiconductors, or thermal systems and/or direct experience with liquid cooling, including cold plates, CDUs, or immersion systems. 

• Familiarity with AI and HPC infrastructure trends, including rising TDP and rack density constraints. 

• Proven understanding of Thermal Management or HVAC systems; specific exposure to liquid cooling technologies is highly preferred. 

• Existing relationships within hyperscalers, server OEMs, or chip manufacturers.
