Regional Business Development Manager at The Talent Expert

Is this you?

• Are you a self-driven, entrepreneurial problem-solver who excels in closing deals from start to finish? Do you have the confidence to manage the entire sales process independently, without needing constant support? If you’re a proactive and bold communicator with a knack for navigating the solar industry, this could be your perfect role.

What you’ll be doing (and why you’ll enjoy it)

• As the Regional Business Development Manager, you’ll take charge of driving growth in the Western Cape’s Commercial and Industrial solar sector. You’ll be expected to independently manage the entire sales process, from cold calling to closing deals, with a focus on selling Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and Rent-to-Own solar modules. Your responsibilities will include conducting market research, leveraging your industry network, and developing tailored proposals in collaboration with technical and financial teams. You’ll lead negotiations, secure profitable contracts, and provide regular reports on your business development activities. This role offers the autonomy you crave while being supported by a dynamic team in Johannesburg.

Where you’ll be doing it

• Our client is an innovative energy company dedicated to making clean, affordable solar energy accessible to businesses across South Africa. With a strong presence in both South Africa and the Netherlands, they specialise in providing hassle-free solar solutions that eliminate the need for upfront investments by customers. You’ll join a forward-thinking, growth-oriented company that values independence, innovation, and making a meaningful impact in the energy sector.

What you’ll need

• To succeed in this role, you’ll need at least 4 years of experience in B2B sales or business development, with a proven track record in the Solar Industry. You must demonstrate the ability to independently manage the entire sales pipeline, from initial contact to contract closure, without relying on significant external support. A Bachelor’s degree in a business or technical field is preferred, and experience with financing within the renewable energy sector is a plus. You’ll need to be an exceptional communicator in English, with strong computer skills, and the ability to work autonomously. A valid driver’s license and your own vehicle are essential, as this role requires frequent travel within the Western Cape region.

What you’ll get

• In return for your skills and independence, you’ll receive a competitive remuneration package, including a lucrative commission structure. This role offers significant growth opportunities as the company continues to expand. You’ll be at the forefront of driving the adoption of clean energy solutions in South Africa, contributing to a sustainable future while advancing your career in the renewable energy industry.
