This is a relationship-driven, full-cycle sales position. The successful candidate will be responsible for identifying and developing new business opportunities, cultivating long-term customer relationships, supporting commercial negotiations and contract execution, and maintaining consistent communication with customers throughout the order fulfillment and module delivery process.

The position does not have a defined geographic sales territory. Instead, the Sales Manager will be responsible for developing opportunities across the U.S. utility-scale solar market based on company priorities, customer relationships, project opportunities, and market conditions.

The ideal candidate will have excellent communication and relationship-building skills, strong commercial judgment, and the ability to manage complex sales opportunities that may develop over many months or years.

• Prepare and deliver customer presentations, proposals, pricing information, and other sales materials.
• Negotiate commercial terms within established company guidelines and obtain appropriate internal approvals.
• Provide regular updates regarding pipeline activity, project status, forecasts, customer developments, and potential risks.

Contract & Commercial Management

• Develop a working knowledge of PV module supply agreements, purchase agreements, framework agreements, and other commercial contracts used in the utility-scale solar industry.
• Understand key commercial provisions affecting module sales, including pricing, delivery schedules, payment terms, product specifications, warranties, liquidated damages, performance requirements, change orders, and other customer obligations.
• Work closely with legal, finance, operations, supply chain, and senior management during contract negotiations and execution.

Order & Customer Management

• Serve as a primary commercial point of contact for customers throughout the order fulfillment process, which may extend over several months.
• Maintain regular communication with customers regarding production schedules, shipping, delivery timing, documentation, and other project requirements.
• Coordinate with operations, production, logistics, quality, and supply-chain teams to address customer questions and resolve issues.
• Ensure that customer expectations are aligned with the company's capabilities and contractual commitments.

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor's degree in business, engineering, finance, economics, renewable energy, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• 3+ years of experience in sales, business development, account management, or commercial roles.
• Demonstrated ability to develop and maintain long-term customer relationships.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to understand and communicate complex commercial and contractual concepts.
• Ability to work independently in a remote environment.
• Willingness and ability to travel domestically for customer meetings, industry events, conferences, and other business activities.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and CRM systems.

Preferred

• Experience selling PV modules or other utility-scale solar equipment.
• Experience negotiating or administering supply agreements or similar long-term supply contracts.
• Familiarity with utility-scale solar project development, procurement, construction, and project financing.
• Knowledge of U.S. PV module manufacturing and domestic-content requirements.
• Understanding of U.S. solar trade policies, tariffs, and supply-chain considerations.
• Existing relationships with utility-scale solar developers, IPPs, utilities, or EPC companies.
