Job description

At Canadian Solar, our vision is to make lives better by bringing electricity powered by the sun to millions of people worldwide. As a leading manufacturer of solar panels, inverters, and energy storage solutions, we've been an industry front-runner since our founding in 2001. Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in all parts of our organization as we navigate the complexities of a booming industry.

Throughout Canadian Solar's subsidiaries, e-Storage, Recurrent Energy, MSS and CSI Solar Co., we invest in our employees' growth. Our training programs and promotional opportunities ensure we all can continue to learn. We understand the importance of work-life balance and provide various flexible work options to support our employees' well-being. Join our team to "Make the Difference" by creating a lasting positive impact on the world and the communities where we operate.

As we accelerate our energy transition, residential battery storage is the critical missing piece - maximizing solar self consumption, reducing grid independence, and empowering homeowners with clean energy independence.

As a Sales Manager Energy Storage, you will drive adoption of our cutting-edge storage solutions. If you are passionate about closing the gap between the solar generation & 24/7 renewable usage, this is your chance.

We are looking for an experienced Sales Manager with a proven ability to sell, a strong personal network, and a passion for delivering customer excellence. If you have the drive to grow business, close high-impact deals, and collaborate cross-functionally in a fast-paced renewable energy sector—this is your opportunity to lead the change.

  • Sell Relentlessly - Own the full sales cycle—from prospecting to closing. You are expected to generate, manage, and close opportunities independently.
  • Leverage Your Network - Bring and expand your own strong portfolio of installer and distribution network and relationships to accelerate our market reach and sales velocity.
  • Champion Customer Excellence - Place the customer at the center of everything. Understand their needs, deliver outstanding service, and build long-term trust and loyalty.
  • Drive Revenue Growth - Develop and execute strategic sales plans to consistently exceed revenue targets. Prioritize high-impact accounts and deliver results.
  • Position with Authority - Confidently communicate the value proposition of our storage solutions, technically and commercially. Differentiate us clearly from competitors.
  • Collaborate Internally - Partner closely with internal teams—including marketing, operations, product, and executive leadership to deliver an aligned, best-in-class customer experience.
  • Represent Eternal Planet - Act as the face of the company at industry events, trade fairs, and customer engagements. Build brand awareness and new business opportunities.

COMPETENCIES

  • Proactive, results-driven with a pragmatic mindset and strong sense of urgency.
  • Hands-on approach, down-to-earth mentality, and ability to work autonomously under pressure.
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively across all organizational levels, including executive management in an international environment.

LANGUAGES

  • German & English
  • Please submit your CV in English
