Head of Sales - Energy Solutions

Your day to day will include:

• Co-developing and executing the go-to-market strategy for the Energy Business Unit with the Energy Director: which segments we target, how we position, and the commercial plan that turns our solution cores into repeatable business
• Building, managing and continuously optimising a robust, forward looking pipeline and funnel, with clear targets, KPIs, forecasting and performance management
• Identifying and prioritising target markets and customer segments, including the move from bespoke HVDC interconnector work into VPP, EOS and predictive asset management software
• Leading and growing a small, dedicated sales team, setting direction and selling by example as a player coach
• Generating new business across European and global energy markets through expert led selling, conference networking and public tenders
• Leveraging an existing industry network to accelerate client acquisition, and building relationships with TSOs, DSOs, utilities, traders, project developers, investors, EPCs, generation aggregators and technology partners
• Representing Supercharge at the industry conferences, events and forums that matter, and raising our profile and credibility in the energy-software space
• Running long, multi-year, RFP- and tender-driven sales cycles from early shaping through bid, negotiation and close, with the senior, multi-stakeholder buying groups typical of regulated energy clients
• Coordinating cross-functional teams to prepare high-quality commercial and technical submissions, and establishing bid governance, qualification discipline and win-rate optimisation
• Owning the pricing strategy for our productised solutions, blending implementation deals, licence-based components and operating/recurring fees across multi-year terms
• Developing business cases with the Energy Director and consultants to shape the offering, launch new products and enter new segments
• Consider and engage in discussions with our AI unit on how to bring together energy and AI offering
• Working with the team to turn real domain problems into new solution cores and AI add-ons that clients will pay for, while protecting and commercialising the IP we build
• Negotiating commercial agreements and contracts, and developing strategic partnerships and alliances
• Growing our anchor accounts, including major UK interconnector clients by deepening senior relationships and planning the right upsells over the lifetime of each contract
• Keeping an accurate, forward-looking view of the pipeline and briefing operations on upcoming work, so delivery capacity is ready when deals close
• Carrying accountability for the unit's commercial results, measured on Energy Business Unit revenue and gross margin

What makes you thrive here:

• Deep knowledge of the UK and European energy sector (TSOs, DSOs, utilities, traders, aggregators) and a real grasp of the regulatory, reporting and grid-integration pressures that drive how they buy
• A track record of selling productised or solution-led software offerings within the energy vertical. Experience selling B2B software and custom technology solutions is important for this role
• At least 5-8 years in business development, commercial leadership or solution sales, including real ownership of a target and the strategy behind it
• Fluency in licence-based and recurring commercial models: you have structured and priced licence, subscription or operating-fee deals and are comfortable owning the pricing around them
• Comfort running long, multi-stakeholder, RFP- and tender-driven sales cycles and formal public procurement
• Enough technical fluency to credibly engage both clients and engineers, acting as a bridge between the two, including a working understanding of energy-software domains such as trade optimisation/automation, forecasting, dispatch and asset management
• Experience leading or mentoring a sales team, or the appetite to step into a player-coach role for the first time
• An active energy-industry network you can use to open doors and shape the right solutions
• Comfortable working independently and bringing structure to a role that is still taking shape
• Bonus: familiarity with energy trading workflows, large-scale energy-asset infrastructure, or commercialising productised and solution-core offerings; experience selling internationally across multiple energy markets; a degree in Engineering, Energy, Business or Economics, and/or an MBA.
