Senior Account Manager

Job Description

Aurora is on a mission to create a future of solar for all. Our award-winning software puts the power of data and technology into the hands of every solar professional to make solar adoption simple and predictable. Our software has designed millions of solar projects so far, empowering solar companies to sell, design, and install residential and commercial solar arrays accurately, seamlessly, and at scale.

We've been named one of "The Best Remote Companies" by BuiltIn.com and have been recognized for the second time as a Certified Green Business (CGB) with the city of San Francisco. We're in this together to support the world's transition to solar.

About the Team

Aurora's European Account Management team partners with customers across Germany, the UK, and France after the initial sale to ensure they achieve meaningful business outcomes with the Aurora platform. The team is responsible for driving product adoption, retaining and expanding existing customer relationships, and helping customers unlock the full value of Aurora's solutions.

Account Managers work closely with solar installers, EPCs, and developers to understand their evolving needs and align Aurora's software capabilities with their growth strategies. Commercial instinct and deep product knowledge sit at the center of how we operate, and we use both to help customers scale while pushing the energy transition forward in Europe.

We collaborate closely with Sales, Product, Marketing, Support, and Enablement so our customers always have the resources, insights, and partnership they need to win.
