Role
Who you are
- You have at least 6 years of experience within a commercial role, preferably acquisition of new business
- You are a hunter and are proactive in outbound acquisition
- You are a self-starter who is result oriented but at the same time a real team player
- You are a good listener. Exploring and understanding customer needs. Picking up signals hidden behind words
- You can show persistence. No matter how good the offer, 'no' is part of the sales process. For this, you must love challenge and setbacks
- You graduated from a higher education to show that you can reason at a certain level/pace, preferably a business or commercial degree but not required
- You have a driver's licence and like to meet people in person, you don't just sell this product online

What the job involves
- Simple: achieve sales targets. You will work on different prospects in Germany, you will determine the focus in consultation with the Head of Sales
- Do it in the way that works best for you, whatever works best. As long as you focus on long-term relationships that grow stronger over time
- A prospect who does not become a customer today may become one in a year's time
- Your (physical) presence in Germany is important to visit clients at least on a monthly basis, the specific Bundeslander to be determined together
- Also, to stay connected in our fast-growing company, you should regularly visit the office in The Hague, Netherlands
Our take
The transition to renewable energy is a vital step in the fight against global warming, however, this has left installers with massive workloads and limited time. Solar Monkey, a solar panel software provider, allows installers to work much more effectively, by streamlining the designing, quoting, and monitoring of solar PV systems.
The company’s software is based on advanced algorithms, aerial imagery, and 3D models, enabling clients to double their output by substantially reducing operational processing times. Solar Monkey is currently active in the Netherlands, Belgium and Spain, and is expanding into Germany and the UK.
The company’s recent funding was co-led by Finnish Helen Ventures and Eneco, this growth capital will allow the company to further international expansion and strengthen its product. With rising energy costs and increased awareness of climate change, Solar Money is well-positioned to be a leader in the industry as it accelerates the scaling of solar solutions across new markets.
