  • Support strategic initiatives such as market analysis, policy advocacy, and go-to-market planning focused on heat pump and home energy technologies.

What You'll Bring:

  • 3-5 years of experience in sales and/or engineering roles.

  • Proven experience in sales, business development, or technical advisory roles within the HVAC, building services, or solar and battery energy sectors.

  • Eagerness to understand heat pump systems and their application.

  • Strong skills in customer relationship management.

  • Excellent analytical skills for evaluating potential options for homeowners.

  • Outstanding communication skills, capable of effectively articulating technical concepts to a varied audience.

  • Proficiency in English, both written and spoken.
