Respond to utility RFIs and RFPs, and work to refine and improve Voltus's approach to RFP and RFI responses over time. Strategically work through ecosystem partners to position Voltus as part of a complete solution. • Work cross-functionally with Partnerships, Energy Markets, Product Management, Engineering, Legal, Operations, and Marketing to pitch Voltus as part of a complete, winning solution for utility partners and execute on program delivery.

- Familiarity with wholesale electricity markets, demand response programs, and utility procurement processes including RFPs and RFIs.
- Proven ability to manage long, complex sales cycles with multiple stakeholders across large organizations.
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity. This role requires someone who can figure out what utilities need and how Voltus can best serve them, not someone who needs a fully defined playbook on day one.

- Experience with Google Suite, Salesforce, and Slack preferred.
