Gigantes Group has been retained by a global Tier-1 renewable energy and energy storage pioneer to recruit an ambitious Junior Key Account Manager – Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) dedicated to the German energy market. Backed by one of the world's most trusted solar and storage manufacturing platforms, our client delivers state-of-the-art storage hardware and integrated systems designed to stabilize modern power grids across Europe.

In this high-visibility commercial role, you will manage relationships with high-value accounts across the German energy ecosystem—including utilities, Independent Power Producers (IPPs), EPC contractors, project developers, and system operators. You will bridge technical innovation and commercial execution across the entire sales lifecycle: qualifying needs, shaping tailored technical solutions, guiding contract negotiations, and ensuring flawless project handover.

This position is ideal for an early-career technical sales professional who is passionate about energy storage, understands European grid dynamics, and wants to accelerate their commercial trajectory with a global market leader.

Key Responsibilities

• Key Account Relationship Management: Build, strengthen, and maintain strategic relationships with German and European utilities, IPPs, developers, EPCs, and grid operators, serving as their primary commercial partner.

• Full Sales Lifecycle Support: Drive opportunities from early prospecting and needs discovery through to commercial proposal delivery, pricing, and contract closing.

• Early Technical Solutioning: Engage early in project development cycles to understand technical pain points and tailor compliant BESS configurations that align with customer business models.

• Market Intelligence & Go-to-Market Strategy: Monitor and analyze German and EU power market trends (ancillary services, capacity mechanisms, grid codes) and competitor activity to support regional penetration strategies.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner directly with internal application engineering, product management, legal, marketing, and project delivery teams to ensure customer-centric project handoffs.

• CRM & Reporting Governance: Maintain comprehensive pipeline visibility, activity tracking, customer feedback, and commercial milestone data within Salesforce or equivalent CRM tools.

Requirements

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Renewable Energy, Energy Systems, or a related technical discipline.

• Experience: 1+ years of relevant experience in B2B technical sales, key account management, or business development within the European renewable energy or energy storage sector.

• Technical & Market Acumen: Solid foundational knowledge of BESS architectures, international standards (IEC, UL, EN), German grid codes (TSO/DSO requirements), and European energy policies (e.g., EU Green Deal, Fit for 55).

• Communication & Negotiation: Strong presentation, interpersonal, and deal-structuring skills suited for multicultural, multi-stakeholder commercial environments.

• Languages: Professional fluency in both German and English is essential.

• Mobility: Willingness to travel up to 50% across Germany for customer meetings, project site visits, workshops, and industry conferences.

Why This Opportunity

• Global Tier-1 Brand Power: Leverage the bankability, manufacturing scale, and technological credibility of one of the world’s most recognized clean energy platforms.

• High-Growth Market Hub: Position yourself at the forefront of Germany's accelerating energy storage transition, dealing directly with leading grid operators, IPPs, and infrastructure funds.

• Rapid Professional Progression: Step into a structured growth environment offering hands-on mentorship from senior commercial leaders, with a clear path toward senior key account and regional leadership roles.
