First things first! It is important that you are willing to move to Arnhem. Elestor is a renowned company and is willing to help you with a work visa. If you are not willing to move, we ask you not to apply.
As Sales Manager, you will find yourself in a highly dynamic and on-the-move environment where you will go where no one has gone before. You will be part of the Business Development Team that is rolling out Elestor's global expansion strategy. In the team, your responsibilities vary between building global relations, co-developing business development strategy, defining entry strategies per segment, coordinating sales processes, supporting sales cycles, and creating supportive documentation underlining Elestor's distinctive solution. There's more than enough to do! As Elestor is now entering the scale-up phase of its technology and product, you will help set the strategic direction and "footwork" needed to set the wheel in motion (for a fast-paced company changing the world of energy). The team is growing from 50 to 100 within one-and-a-half years; the role of Sales Manager provides the opportunity to deepen your commercial skills and comes with multiple options for internal growth. Elestor's Sales Manager will be part of an intrinsically motivated team and work on an entirely new class of large-scale assets (HBr flow batteries). With a proactive and cooperative attitude, your contribution can be essential and have a decisive impact on rolling out a critical system for Long Duration Energy Storage. A solution that must and will be deployed massively in the very near future.
