ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a high-ownership, generalist role sitting directly alongside the founding team of an early-stage B2B SaaS company in the commercial energy storage space. You'll drive sales outreach and revenue growth while contributing to operations, recruiting, and strategy — going wherever the business needs you most.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Build and execute the sales playbook, including outreach to key decision-makers and identifying new revenue opportunities.

- Work across sales, growth, and customer success, adapting to the company's highest-priority needs.

- Design and implement internal operational processes to keep daily workflows running smoothly.

- Support talent acquisition, from coordinating hiring logistics to attracting strong candidates.

- Tackle ambiguous, undefined problems with speed and a bias for action.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- 1+ years of experience at a high-growth startup, venture capital fund, investment bank, or strategy consulting firm — or a Bachelor's/Master's degree with strong academic results plus at least one relevant internship in those environments.

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

- Hands-on experience building sales processes and identifying revenue opportunities from scratch in B2B markets.

- Comfortable designing and rolling out internal operational processes.

- Familiarity with CRM systems and sales automation tooling.

- Experience coordinating or supporting recruiting processes is a plus.

- Background in product, growth, marketing, strategy, or operations is a bonus.

- Prior exposure to CleanTech, battery energy storage (BESS), or European energy markets is advantageous but not required.

- Thrives in fast-paced, early-stage environments with rapidly shifting scope.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
