4. Reporting & Administration

· Prepare regular sales reports and market updates for internal stakeholders

Requirements

· 1–3 years' experience in solar PV, energy storage, or a related B2B sales or technical sales support role

· Commercial mindset with strong customer orientation and communication skills
