Our international client is looking to expand their reach into Africa, and besides catering to the South African market, they want to sink their teeth into Zambia, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Cameroun, Kenya, and the DRC. With notable funding secured (USD 10M+), they are looking to take on a major market share within the energy management product and software solution space in Africa.

The ethos of the company is built on intelligence, and it runs through their veins - not only from a technology perspective, but their vision, mission and the culture of their team. Borne from understanding complex and rapidly evolving global grids demands, the founders identified a solution to solve complexities around facilitating how the different pieces of renewable energy systems interact and connect. They cover control and monitoring systems and software solutions for client's utility-scale and mini-grid applications, and that's not all - they are able to get a variety of technologies to talk to one another, from PV, to storage, to hydrogen and EVs.

So, what will make you the perfect team member? Well, to start with you will have at least 5 years of experience in a similar environment (monitoring & control as well as software solutions to the energy market). Next off, exposure to a minimum of 3 of the listed countries they are looking to expand into. And finally, proven experience developing partnership strategies which have amplified distribution sales by 30%+!

Our client’s company is scaling up fast, join their team now and grow right alongside them! And before we forget, just to top it off over and above how great this role is...this opportunity comes with a competitive salary and commission structure!
