  • Identify new market opportunities, builder programs, and strategic partnerships across California
What We're Looking For
  • 5+ years of experience in business development, B2B sales, construction, solar, or related industries
  • Existing relationships with California small- to mid-sized builders and developers strongly preferred
  • New construction solar sales experience highly preferred
  • Strong understanding of the California construction, solar, or energy market
  • Proven ability to develop new accounts and close B2B opportunities
  • Strong relationship-building, negotiation, and communication skills
  • Self-driven and comfortable building a business channel from the ground up
  • Ability to travel throughout California as needed
Ideal Background
