About the Role

This is a high-ownership, generalist role sitting at the heart of an early-stage B2B SaaS company in the commercial and industrial energy storage space. You'll work directly alongside the founding team to drive revenue, shape the sales playbook, and keep operations running — going wherever the business needs you most.

• Demonstrated ability to execute B2B sales outreach and close deals with business decision-makers.

• Experience building sales processes and identifying new revenue opportunities from scratch.

• Comfortable designing and implementing operational processes in fast-moving, undefined environments.

• Hands-on experience with CRM systems and sales automation tooling.

• Experience supporting or coordinating hiring processes is a plus.

• Exposure to product, growth, marketing, strategy, or operations functions is an advantage.

• Prior experience in CleanTech, battery energy storage, or energy markets is a bonus — but not required.

• Thrives in early-stage environments with rapid iteration and shifting priorities.
