The driving force behind our success has always been the people of AspenTech. What drives us, is our aspiration, our desire and ambition to keep pushing the envelope, overcoming any hurdle, challenging the status quo to continually find a better way. You will experience these qualities of passion, pride and aspiration in many ways — from a rich set of career development programs to support of community service projects to social events that foster fun and relationship building across our global community.

The Role

Aspen Tech is currently seeking a Director, Area Sales with a proven track record of sales success with high tech software solutions into the Oil & Gas, Chemicals and other Heavy Industries. The individual we seek is a sales professional who is highly motivated and a self-starter with excellent business acumen and gravitas. This individual must be able to build, develop and drive a high energy sales team through a focused and disciplined approach. Leadership rather than management is a requirement and that leadership requires an individual that can both set a vision and roll up their sleeves and get into the details of closing business alongside their sales account managers. The role will grow AspenTech’s business across India, working closely with Emerson teams to identify opportunities within the existing DeltaV and AMS customer base.
