Cultivate C-level relationships with end customers, utilities, asset owners, and strategic partners.
Represent Hanwha in customer presentations, industry events, and policy forums to establish thought leadership.


3. Commercial Deal Structuring

Lead proposal development, pricing strategy, contract negotiation, and risk mitigation in collaboration with legal, finance, and operations.
Structure performance-based agreements, PPAs, leases, and service contracts to meet customer and internal financial targets.
Work closely with finance and project development to align offerings with customer ROI and internal profitability.


4. Cross-Functional Alignment

Collaborate with offering development, EPC, software, and operations teams to ensure delivery readiness and customer satisfaction.
Provide market feedback to guide offering roadmap, business case development, and go-to-market refinement.
Drive alignment between CRM tools, sales operations, and revenue forecasting systems.


5. Sales Leadership

Build a results-driven sales culture with accountability, coaching, and performance management.
Establish KPIs for sales pipeline, close rates, customer acquisition costs, and revenue growth.
Foster collaboration across product, marketing, and engineering to accelerate sales cycles and customer onboarding.


REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

Education: Bachelor’s degree in Business, Engineering, or Energy-related field; MBA preferred.
Experience: 10+ years of sales leadership in clean energy, DERs, energy software, or infrastructure services.
Proven track record in enterprise energy solutions sales, including SaaS-based EMS/DERMS/VPP platforms and integrated solar + storage solutions.
Deep experience with performance-based contracting, energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs), PPAs, and utility-facing offerings.
Familiarity with regulatory and market environments (e.g., CAISO, NYISO, PJM, ISO-NE).


PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

Expertise in energy-as-a-service or recurring revenue energy business models.
Strong commercial and financial acumen with ability to align technical value to customer business outcomes.
Experience scaling national or regional sales teams in fast-growing energy or technology companies.
