The Role

• We're looking for a driven Solar Sales Manager who combines strong sales execution with business development leadership. You'll manage a territory or portfolio of accounts, drive new customer acquisition and close deals while building a pipeline that grows revenue consistently.
• You're equally comfortable closing a large commercial deal as you are coaching a sales team. You see opportunities others miss, you know how to navigate complex solar projects and stakeholder decisions, and you have the resilience to handle objections and close in a competitive market.

Core Responsibilties
Sales Execution and Closing:

• Develop and manage a portfolio of customer accounts, managing pipeline and forecasting revenue.
• Identify and pursue new business opportunities through prospecting, referrals, networking and market analysis.
• Navigate complex sales cycles involving multiple decision makers in residential, commercial or utility solar projects.
• Prepare competitive proposals and presentations that address customer needs and objections.
• Close deals on target and manage contracts through to project handoff.

Business Development:

• Identify and develop new market segments, verticals or customer types within your territory.
• Build and maintain strategic partnerships with integrators, contractors, consultants or other channel partners.
• Analyze market trends and customer feedback to identify growth opportunities and recommend strategy adjustments.
• Support pricing strategy and product positioning based on market conditions and competitive landscape.

Leadership and Team Performance:

• Coach and develop junior sales staff or team members on selling skills, product knowledge and solar industry dynamics.
• Lead by example with strong personal sales performance and a clear winning mindset.
• Monitor team pipeline, forecasts and activity metrics, holding team accountable to targets.
• Share best practices and celebrate wins that motivate the team.

Industry Knowledge and Product Expertise:

• Develop deep knowledge of solar technology, financing options, incentives and project economics.
• Stay current on industry trends, competitive products and regulatory changes affecting sales strategy.
• Answer customer technical questions or coordinate with engineering and product teams.

What You Bring
Experience:

• Four to ten plus years of solar sales experience
• Experience managing a team or mentoring junior sales professionals
• Track record of exceeding sales targets and closing complex deals
• Strong understanding of solar market, financing, incentives and project economics
• Proven ability to build and manage a sales pipeline from prospecting to close.

Skills and Attributes:

• Natural closer with tenacity through objections and complex negotiations
• Self-motivated and resilient in a competitive, results-driven environment
• Strategic thinker who balances short-term sales with long-term opportunity development
• Problem-solver who adapts strategy based on market feedback and business needs
• Strong communicator who can explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences.

Technical Knowledge:

• Solid working knowledge of solar systems and how they work for customers
• Familiarity with solar market segments (residential, commercial, utility-scale)
• Understanding of solar financing, tax incentives and project economics
• Awareness of industry challenges such as supply chain, interconnection and permitting.

What We Offer

• Compensation commensurate with experience
• A growing company in an industry with strong long-term tailwinds
• Comprehensive health benefits package
• Support, training and tools to succeed in a competitive market
• Clear path to growth into senior sales leadership or account management roles.

Application Closing Date
8th July, 2026.
