What we're building
The marine industry supports recreation, global commerce, and national defense. And yet it runs on technology that hasn't meaningfully changed in fifty years. Until now.
Arc is on a mission to electrify the marine industry. We're rethinking powertrains, software, and vessel designs from first principles. And we're already executing. We started with consumers to develop and harden our core technology. We're now scaling production of our flagship model with new models and sectors on the horizon. Now we're extending our platform to commercial applications, starting with tugs, ferries, and defense, with years worth of signed contracts and a pipeline that spans every vessel type on the water.
The technology is proven, the momentum is building, and the opportunity is enormous. The marine industry is going electric and Arc is building the platform that powers it.
Who we're looking for
We’re looking for a proven sales closer who is fired up by our mission and ready to accelerate our growth. You’ll thrive here if you are a relentless hunter of opportunities, a master of the "soft sell" in luxury markets, and someone who takes extreme ownership of the customer journey.
This is a full-time, on-site role at our Austin facility. You'll report to the Senior Manager of Sales and Delivery and work closely with a lean, high-trust team where everyone’s work matters.

- Managing Contracts: Drafting, tailoring, and executing purchase agreements, ensuring all documentation is accurate and move-ready for the customer.
- Conducting targeted outbound calls to prospects, cold leads, and unresponsive leads to generate new opportunities and expand pipeline reach.
- Identifying and presenting new opportunities for events, partnerships, and activations to continuously feed the top of the sales funnel in your market
- Facilitating Transactions: Guiding customers through the final stages of the purchase process, including financing coordination, payment milestones, and administrative requirements.
- Reporting weekly on pipeline growth, lead-source performance, and win-rate drivers—turning data into clear, actionable stories.
- Jumping into boat shows, demos, deliveries, or special events when the team needs an extra set of hands—team-first mindset, always!
