B2B Sales in the UK Solar Industry to deliver MW upwards energy agreements

Strategic Development Manager

The Opportunity
This is an outstanding opportunity for an established new business developer in the UK energy generation industry to join a fast growing and dynamic energy generation business.

Your experience and knowledge will help form the strategy to grow the company portfolio of funded energy generation projects for large industrial and commercial customers.

The successful candidate will be very well rewarded, become part of an experienced and professional sales team where the only limit to our success is the size of the business pipeline you can deliver.

The Sector
The energy storage and generation sector is set for enormous growth in the coming years for both in front of and behind the meter opportunities and my client is exceptionally well placed to take advantage of this. You will be responsible for identifying and selling large funded energy generation projects that include solar, gas generation and battery storage to I&C customers.

The Role
Your role will include finding new market opportunities and securing commercial contracts through power purchase agreements. This is a key role in the Business Development Team and will work closely with the technical and finance teams to generate compelling businesses cases for quality large scale energy generation projects and work to close these opportunities. Although the role is a consultative, solutions based sales role, you will be expected to deliver a larger pipeline from opportunities being created in the renewable space.

About You
The ideal candidate will be a proven hunter and closer. You will be able to collaborate in a fast-moving environment and be able to build internal stakeholder relationships to deliver complex projects for large complex customers. You will be responsible for developing business solution opportunities within selected markets, leading all phases of the client engagement through identification, technical concept development, commercial contract negotiation and sales conversion to support delivering a defined annual sales target.

85% of your sales will be expected to come from Solar projects with the remaining 15% in Gas. So extensive UK Solar business development is essential.

The Company and Benefits Package
You will be joining an established business that has huge growth plans to double their existing business size in the next 2 years. Working for an employer that is big enough to make a difference, but small enough to be agile and treat everyone as an individual.

Basic annual salary to £75,000
