Founding Sales Lead

Who We Are

At Voltify, we're building the next generation of freight rail: battery locomotives that fast charge while moving, powered by a self-sustaining microgrid network. We're lowering rail's largest expense (energy) by more than 20% and eliminating the industry's dependency on fossil fuels.

We have $50M in contingent orders from the largest global rail companies and $30M raised from top tier funds and strategics. Our founding team has built public billion-dollar companies in renewable energy and infrastructure before.

About The Role

We are looking for a Founding Sales & Go-to-Market Leader who will build extensive relationships in the rail industry, turn those relationships into revenue, and build and scale Voltify's commercial GTM engine from the ground up.

This role is for a natural-born connector who can open doors , for a sales executive comfortable building deep trust with C-Suite level partners and customers , and for a builder and operator who can execute a sales motion from zero and scale it to $1B . This is truly a zero to one role.

You will help design how we go to market, shape pricing and deal structures, and build the systems that allow us to scale to hundreds of contracts per year.

We're looking for a 10x leader —low ego, focused on impact—someone who combines sharp commercial instinct with a bias for action. If you're excited about solving complex problems, shaping an industry, and building something that will last for decades while accelerating the transition to zero-emission transportation, we want to talk.

We offer a competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, and the opportunity to lead the future of rail technology while building a generational multi-billion dollar company.
