• Strong relationship-building skills, with the ability to develop and maintain effective partnerships with TPIs, customers and internal stakeholders at all levels, including C-suite executives.
• Commercially astute, with the ability to identify opportunities, grow sales pipelines, improve conversion rates and contribute to margin growth.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the confidence to represent the business externally and clearly articulate renewable energy solutions and propositions.
• Ability to gather, analyse and communicate market intelligence and partner feedback, translating insights into recommendations that support product and proposition development.
• Highly organised, self-motivated and proactive, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver against key strategic business objectives.
