Associate Business Developer (m/w/d)

Job Description

How would you like to help transform the future of how energy data is accessed and used — not just by utilities, but across a range of industries, products, and services?

Eliq is looking for an ambitious and entrepreneurial Open Energy Associate to join our Open Data team. Open energy refers to standardized, user-permissioned access to energy consumption and grid data — made possible through national data hubs and regulations across Europe. It’s a game-changer for creating new, data-driven services that help people and businesses use energy smarter.

This is a career-launching opportunity for someone who wants to build things, open new doors, and shape the future of data-powered products. You’ll collaborate with commercial, product, and strategy teams to identify and validate opportunities, pitch to new partners, and help us grow revenue from a brand-new area of business.

What You’ll Do

You’ll act as a commercial trailblazer for our open energy business — exploring where open energy data can create value, validating ideas through rapid experiments, and helping turn those ideas into real products. You’ll play a key role in identifying prospects, preparing business cases, and delivering early-stage pilots that prove the impact of open data in action.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify and qualify new use cases and markets for open energy data
• Prototype and test early solutions using internal tools and platforms like Retool or Lovable
• Support business development by preparing materials, joining calls, and running experiments
• Deliver and manage proof-of-concept pilots with prospective partners
• Work cross-functionally to ensure new opportunities are aligned with product strategy
• Champion open energy across Eliq and our customers — turning data into business outcomes

Who You Are

• Entrepreneurial mindset — you’re excited by early-stage ambiguity and building from scratch
• Commercial curiosity — you enjoy asking “what if?” and turning ideas into real value
• Strong communication skills — you can distill complexity into compelling narratives
• Ability to work across teams and disciplines (product, engineering, sales)
• Comfort with tools and data — you’re hands-on and not afraid of learning new platforms
• Fluent in English; other languages are a plus

What You'll Achieve

• Help us hit revenue targets from Open Energy this year — and lay the foundation for even bigger growth next year
• Deliver 2+ working proof-of-concepts using open data and 3rd-party tools
• Create at least 1 new, validated use case for open energy data
• Contribute to a pipeline of new business opportunities with long-term potential

📍Location: Gothenburg (on-site)

Why join us?

• A rare chance to help define a product category from the ground up
• A fast-moving, collaborative, and purpose-driven culture
• Competitive salary, paid holidays, and pension and Friskvårdsbidrag in line with the National standard.
• Real-world impact in making energy data accessible and useful — beyond utilities
