Business Development Manager

Business Development Manager – Energy Services

Location: Chatswood, NSW

Employment Type: Permanent, full-time

Work Arrangement: Office-based with regular customer and site visits

Reports To: Managing Director

About the Company

We are an Australian energy business building a new model for how commercial customers

access and use electricity.

The business has grown significantly under its current management team and is now scaling

an Energy as a Service (EaaS) model for commercial customers. Rather than selling solar

and battery equipment upfront, the business installs, owns and operates behind-the-meter

energy assets and supplies electricity to customers under a long-term agreement.

This enables commercial customers to access solar and battery infrastructure with no

upfront capital expenditure, while purchasing electricity at a materially lower rate than their

existing supply.

The business has already established its operational foundations and is now focused on

building a scalable commercial sales engine. The opportunity is to join at an early stage of

that growth and play a meaningful role in shaping how the sales function develops.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a commercially minded Business Development Manager to drive new

customer acquisition for the Energy Services business.

You will be responsible for identifying and engaging commercial prospects, creating

opportunities through outbound activity, securing site visits, presenting the commercial

proposition, managing objections and taking opportunities through to signed long-term

agreements.

You will deal directly with business owners, directors and senior operators and will need to

be comfortable discussing commercial issues including pricing, savings, contractual

commitments, risk and business value.
