Is this you?
You know how to navigate corporates. From procurement to ExCo, you can build buy-in at every level. You’ve sold to big names, understand complex buying cycles, and you’re comfortable dealing with both CFOs and facility managers. You’ve got a strategic mindset and the hustle to chase large, multi-site solar deals.
What you’ll be doing (and why you’ll enjoy it)
You’ll sell PPA and Rent to Own solar solutions into major corporates and blue-chip clients – from logistics giants to retailers, manufacturers, and listed companies. You’ll use your industry network and prospecting skills to unlock big opportunities, supported by in-house technical and financial experts. These are long-cycle deals with real impact – helping businesses cut costs and hit ESG goals at the same time.
Where you’ll be doing it
You’ll work with a rapidly scaling clean energy business that’s nailed the model: zero-capex solar, backed by sharp financial structuring and deep industry knowledge. Since 2019, they’ve been delivering scalable solutions for major corporates – combining international experience with local agility.
What you’ll need
4+ years of B2B sales or BD experience, ideally selling into corporates or in the C&I solar space. You’re confident working across departments and deal levels, and you’ve led complex sales cycles before. Strong commercial acumen and the ability to hold your own in financial and operational conversations is key.
What you’ll get
A competitive package, strong commission, career growth – and the opportunity to work on deals that shape South Africa’s energy future.
