This is a strategic, industry-facing role focused on identifying, engaging, and qualifying opportunities—then connecting them to our Account Executives.

Iterate messaging using data, experiments, and customer feedback. Discovery, Qualification & Handoff Run initial discovery to confirm fit (use case, timeline, authority, budget/context). Create and document qualified opportunities, then schedule and brief the appropriate Account Executive for seamless handoff. Track SLAs and conversion metrics (meetings set → SQLs → opportunities created). Strategic Collaboration Partner closely with AEs on territory plans, account mapping, and event follow-up. Collaborate with Marketing on campaigns, content, and events to drive inbound and accelerate outbound. Share market insights with Product and Customer Success. Build ABM account plans that identify decision makers, champions, and warm introductions, prioritizing outreach for fastest path to impact. Leverage PVFARM’s insights and content to open doors, shape the problem statement, and secure AE-ready meetings. Events & Market Presence Make connections to attendees pre-conference, setup meetings Represent PVFARM at trade shows, conferences, webinars, and regional meetups to generate pipeline (virtual and in-person). Required Qualifications 3–7 years in business development, Sales, or partner-facing roles within renewable energy ideally focused on utility-scale solar. Existing network in the U.S. solar and utility-scale markets. Proven track record against pipeline KPIs (meetings set, SQLs created, qualified opportunities opened). Solid grasp of the solar project lifecycle (development, engineering/design, procurement, operations). Proficiency with CRM tools such as HubSpot or Salesforce. Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Authorized to work in the United States. Willingness to travel domestically (25%) for meetings and events.
