• You communicate fluently and confidently in French. Additional language skills in German or English are a plus, but not required.
• Previous experience in a similar role (inside sales, telephone sales, customer service) or in project-based business is a plus.
• Basic knowledge of energy management, electric mobility, or building technology is also a plus, enabling you to provide expert advice to our customers.
• You already live in the sales territory (Romandy).
