About the role

What you'll do

At Nira, the customers you'll be selling to are renewable energy developers. These are companies that find land to purchase to build large-scale solar, wind, and battery plants. Typically, the buyer has the title "Head of Development" - they're responsible for actually picking the plots of land to purchase / build on.

Own the entire sales process, from prospecting to closing deals
Work closely with our CEO on building out the sales playbook / scaling the team
Within 3 months, be able to independently manage one of our key markets and all growth in that market
Customer success / gathering customer feedback for future product development
Travel to trade shows ~once a quarter

Excited to work with Transmission Engineers and learn about how our electrical grid works.

Comfortable with occasional travel to trade shows (~1 week a quarter).

About Nira Energy

Nira's mission is to convert the US power grid to be 100% fossil-free.
Nira is a software platform that helps renewable energy developers (solar/wind) find the most profitable land to build new projects.
We focus on estimating the cost to interconnect with the electrical grid (aka the Interconnection Process). Depending on where developers connect, they may be on the hook to pay millions of dollars to upgrade power lines, substations etc.
We are profitable!
