Description
We are seeking a Historic Preservation Sales Specialist to represent and grow our preservation client portfolio by developing relationships with owners, architects, preservation professionals, and public-sector stakeholders responsible for historic buildings. This role focuses on identifying opportunities, guiding clients through complex decision-making processes, and delivering solutions that align with preservation standards, regulatory requirements, and project goals.
About Inspekt AI:
Inspekt AI is transforming how building owners and operators detect, manage, and prevent façade and envelope failures. Our drone-powered inspections and AI-driven analysis help commercial real estate owners, property managers, REITs, and facilities teams identify issues early—before minor defects turn into six-figure repairs or safety risks.
We work with complex, high-value assets and sell into technical, risk-aware buyers. This is not transactional sales—its consultative, problem-focused, and data-driven.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and manage relationships with owners and stewards of historic properties, preservation architects, consultants, and public agencies
- Identify, qualify, and pursue new business opportunities for historic preservation services
- Communicate the value of our services in a clear, accurate, and client-focused manner
- Support clients in understanding regulatory frameworks, preservation standards, and project requirements
- Prepare and deliver presentations, proposals, and project scopes in collaboration with internal teams
- Participate in site visits, stakeholder meetings, and planning discussions
- Address client questions and concerns related to cost, timelines, compliance, and preservation integrity
- Maintain accurate records of sales activities, forecasts, and client interactions
Required Qualifications
- Experience in business development or sales within construction, architecture, engineering, preservation, or related professional services
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills
- Ability to navigate complex approval processes and multi-stakeholder environments
- Understanding of—or willingness to learn—historic preservation standards and regulatory considerations
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a professional environment
Preferred Qualifications
- Familiarity with historic preservation projects or adaptive reuse work
- Existing relationships within the preservation, architectural, or municipal sectors
- Experience selling professional or technical services
Performance Expectations
- Consistent development of qualified sales opportunities
- Contribution to revenue growth and client retention
- Accurate project scoping and alignment with internal delivery teams
- Professional representation of the company with clients and partners
What We Offer
- Sell a differentiated, real-world solution solving expensive and visible problems
- Work directly with experienced founders and sales leadership
- Opportunity to grow into Senior SDR or Account Executive roles
- Help build the outbound motion from the ground up
- Remote flexibility with a high-trust, high-ownership culture
