Intro

Your role

As a freelance Sales Manager, you will help exnaton open and grow the French market on a flexible, independent basis. Drawing on your existing network and experience in the energy sector, you will support us in the following areas:

• Identifying and reaching out to potential customers in your target market, introducing them to exnaton's product,

• Owning key parts of the sales cycle, from initial outreach through to deal closure, depending on the scope agreed together,

• Leveraging your existing relationships and market knowledge to open doors and accelerate conversations;,

• Representing exnaton in an authentic, credible way to prospective customers and partners in your market,

• Sharing market insights and feedback with our core Sales and Product teams,

• Collaborating remotely with our Sales, Product, and Marketing teams to align on messaging, pricing, and proposals.

This is an independent contractor / freelance engagement, not a permanent employee position. This role is a good fit for an experienced energy-sales professional who wants to represent exnaton in France on a flexible basis.

We are looking for someone who could support us one day per week.

Your qualifications

• Has an established network and credibility in France,

• Is comfortable working independently and managing their own time and priorities,

• Has strong communication and relationship-building skills,

• Is fluent in French and English,

• Has an entrepreneurial mindset and is comfortable representing a company in its growth trajectory.

Benefits

At exnaton, you'll be part of a small and driven team doing genuinely important work - building the technology that's helping reshape how energy is produced and consumed. Here's what comes with the role:

• A competitive salary and equity package,

• Flexible working hours and a remote-first way of working, as we support those being based in different locations,

• A virtual office that actually works - tools and rituals designed for meaningful collaboration across different locations,

• Perks that support the whole you, from a sports membership or Headspace subscription to a dedicated Mental Health Day, and a holiday that grows with your tenure,

• Invest in your growth: a personal learning budget and bi-weekly learning focus time, protected in your calendar,

• Two team retreats a year, when we come together in person to work and have fun,

• Work that matters - exciting technology, a mission you can get behind, and teammates who genuinely care about both.
