Your responsibilities will include:

• Building and executing strategic account plans for key customers.

• Collaborating with Business Development Reps, Solution Engineers, Product Managers, and Delivery teams to prepare bids and present solutions.
• Managing your pipeline effectively, maintaining CRM up-to-date, and reporting your forecast.
• Championing customer needs internally to ensure successful onboarding and long-term satisfaction.

We're looking for a results-driven professional who understands the energy landscape and thrives in a fast-moving environment. You combine strategic thinking with a hands-on, entrepreneurial approach.

What you need to succeed

• A degree in business, economics, engineering, or related fields.
• Minimum 3 years' experience selling enterprise software, with proven success in B2B/SaaS sales.
• First-hand experience in the energy industry; a strong understanding of energy market trends, needs and challenges.
• Demonstrated ability to sell complex, consultative solutions to both technical and business stakeholders.
• Skilled in differentiating the Volue offering against competitors and effectively reframing customer objections.
• Strong hunter mentality to sell Energy Software and Energy Market Data & Forecasts to Enterprise customers in Switzerland, with a consistent track record of meeting or exceeding sales targets.
• Adept at maintaining and expanding customer relationships through regular account health checks and opportunity discovery.
• Proficient in using CRM systems with high discipline and transparency in sales reporting.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills.
• Fluent in German and English (written and spoken); proficiency in Italian and/or French is a strong plus. International experience is a plus.

You're also someone who:

• Has a customer-first mindset and a drive to solve real-world problems.
• Is commercially sharp, with the creativity to uncover and articulate value.
• Thrives in an autonomous role but collaborates effectively across teams.
• Loves learning, welcomes feedback, and seeks continuous improvement.
• Is inspired by the mission of building a more sustainable energy future.
