at Sunrock B.V.

Dusseldorf/Hamburg

Help us build a future powered by clean energy.

We’re hiring a Business Development Manager in Dusseldorf/Hamburg

Looking to join a company that's making a difference? Sunrock delivers clean energy to more than 636.000 people and has more than 1 GWp in development, with even bigger plans for the future. As our new Business Development Manager in Dusseldorf or Hamburg, you'll be part of a team of over 150 Sunrockers who are committed to expanding sustainable energy solutions throughout Europe.

The German team

At Sunrock, we don’t just offer jobs; we offer missions. You’ll join a fast-growing German team driving the clean energy transition across Europe. Sunrock is a market leader in large-scale rooftop solar in the Netherlands, Germany, and France, and our ambitions go well beyond solar: from energy management systems to battery storage and our own energy trading platform. In Germany, we’ve already secured over 250 MWp of project volume in commercial and logistics real estate, and as we continue to expand, we’re strengthening partnerships with key industry players. We’re looking for people who want to be part of that growth.

Overview Of The Role

As a Business Development Manager at Sunrock, you build long-term energy partnerships that shape Germany’s industrial and real estate sectors. You act as a strategic sparring partner for developers, asset managers and sustainability teams, helping them navigate climate goals and future energy needs.

Your responsibilities:

• Identify and manage a pipeline of business opportunities across logistics and industrial real estate.
• Build and maintain strong, trust-based relationships with developers, investors, and other key stakeholders.
• Promote Sunrock’s brand and services to unlock new partnerships and full-service accounts.
• Understand client needs and develop tailored clean energy solutions, from solar to storage.
• Ensure smooth client onboarding by coordinating handovers with internal Development teams.
• Lead regular meetings with internal and external stakeholders to align expectations and provide updates.
• Proactively address client feedback and secure a high level of satisfaction and service.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to stay aligned with all Sunrock service lines.
• Utilize market intelligence and tools (e.g. RCA) to drive lead generation and pipeline development.

This is you:

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Real Estate, Energy, or a related field. 5+ years of relevant working experience in Germany, preferably in the commercial real estate sector.

A proven track record in business development, with a strong client focus. Deep understanding of the commercial real estate landscape and decision-making processes. Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to navigate complex, fast-moving markets. Excellent relationship building, negotiation, and communication skills. Fluent in German and English, both spoken and written. Willingness to travel up to 30% of the time.

What’s in it for you?

At Sunrock, work is not just about making a difference in the world - it's also about having fun and enjoying your job. Join our team and benefit from:

• A great and dynamic team that enjoys what they do.
• An attractive compensation and bonus system.
• Regular team events with the entire Sunrock family.
• A modern, flexible work environment in Dusseldorf and Hamburg (including hybrid options).
