Company mission
Save every household meaningful money by putting power in their hands
Role
Who you are
- You’re excited and motivated by our mission to help homeowners contribute to a cleaner, greener Britain while saving money on their bills
- You are an expert consultative salesperson with a passion for the sales process and using it to both hit your targets and help meet your customers’ needs
- You are charismatic, a good listener and know how to prioritise your customers, but you’re also organised and can effectively manage your pipeline through a CRM and internal tooling
- You can establish rapport and trust with people quickly and effectively without being face-to-face
- You have a positive and resilient attitude, and can maintain it when you're on phone / video calls all day
- You’re tenacious and will follow up opportunities with enthusiasm, exhausting all avenues as long as it’s in the customer’s interests
- You don’t need to be a solar expert but you’re smart, curious and a fast learner
- You want to join a very fast growing startup and will actively enjoy operating in the fast moving environment which comes with it
What the job involves
- You’ll take highly qualified, hot prospects (who registered their interest in buying solar systems through our website and have spoken to our SDR) and connect with them via a scheduled video consultation (Teams) to further qualify their needs and appropriately sell them our unique solar + battery subscription
- You’ll have the autonomy to manage your calendar, nurture your pipeline and to try new things to ensure targets are met
- You’ll diligently manage your pipeline through our CRM (we’re currently using HubSpot & our own bespoke customer portal) and help contribute to the continued development of these tools
- You’ll be responsible for collating your learnings and feeding this back to help us identify opportunities to improve processes, increase conversion rates and better customer experience
- As one of our key sales specialists, you’ll be directly involved in helping to establish and grow our sales team and processes from a very early stage

Our take
Sunsave is building what replaces your energy supplier. Energy companies sell power from a grid that gets more expensive every year. Sunsave believes the future of energy is decentralised, and they're building the company that brings that to the masses.
The national grid is creaking. Only 40% of a household's energy bill is actually used; the rest is grid cost, levies and policy costs. Even if wholesale energy prices drop, bills will keep increasing for decades. People are paying for a problem they didn't cause and can't control.
As energy decentralises, home energy is unbundling: a different company for the install, another for monitoring and maintenance, another for the financing, another for battery optimisation & trading. Sunsave bets that whoever puts it all back together into a single bill and a joined-up customer experience wins.
Founded in 2022, Sunsave lets people switch without paying anything upfront and offers an all-in-one package with kit, installation, finance and long-term protection. Battery optimisation and grid trading let customers charge when energy is cheap and sell it back when it's expensive, balancing the grid, earning money while they sleep and pushing their bill towards zero.
The traction shows their bet is paying off, with Sunsave raising a £113m Series A in 2025 and growing 3x that year. Growth is accelerating further in 2026, placing the company in the top 20 of Sifted's fastest-growing UK startups list two years running.

Company values
- We're changing how people power their lives: We know that only doing what’s familiar or easy isn’t going to get us there, so we’re unashamedly ambitious and set audacious goals. We’re excited by the hard problems that come with accomplishing something difficult, and we do whatever it takes to get closer to achieving our mission
- We start with the customer: We’re here to help real people, so their voices are at the centre of everything we do. We know that we can’t create a hugely successful business without building things that people really love. So everything we do starts with us asking: ‘What’s best for the customer?’
- We make it happen: We act with urgency, constantly prioritising to make sure we channel our energy into what matters most. We believe every problem has a solution, and we take ownership to figure it out. When we don’t have perfect information it doesn’t slow us down: we act, learn and adapt
- We drive each other to be exceptional: We’re one team, made stronger by supporting each other, sharing openly, and holding ourselves and each other to the highest standards. We prize honest constructive feedback, and we value fresh perspectives and respectful differences of opinion. We win, lose and learn together, and don’t let silos or egos get in the way
