About the position
Shape the future of solar finance-lead product strategy and sales in agriculture and commerce! Is this you? What you'll be doing (and why you'll enjoy it) Where you'll be doing it What you'll need What you'll get How to apply We do respond to everyone! Just give us a few days to work through your application.
You're a strategic thinker with an entrepreneurial spirit and a solid grounding in finance or clean energy. You're as comfortable negotiating with banks as you are talking to farmers or executives. You thrive in fast-evolving markets, excel at spotting opportunities, and know how to bring innovative financial products to life. You're ready to own both product development and the sales cycle-delivering tailored financing that helps businesses and farms access reliable, affordable energy.
You'll take charge of developing and scaling a solar finance offering tailored to commercial and agricultural clients. This includes building relationships with financial institutions, negotiating new products, developing strategic partnerships, and leading go-to-market efforts. You'll work cross-functionally to manage internal compliance processes, assess product viability with financial modelling, and close deals with EPCs, installers, and direct clients. Your work will directly impact energy access and affordability across the region.
Our client is a leading solar distributor known for providing best-in-class renewable energy products across Southern Africa. With a culture of innovation, partnership, and sustainability, they offer the chance to shape high-impact solutions in a purpose-driven team. You'll be part of a company pushing the boundaries of how solar and finance work together to deliver meaningful results for real businesses.
You bring at least 3 years of experience in product development, sales, or business development-ideally in solar, agri-tech, finance, or commercial energy. You have a degree in Business, Finance, Agriculture or similar, along with a track record of successfully executing both strategy and B2B sales. Familiarity with agricultural sectors, irrigation systems, or commercial lending is a big plus-especially if you've worked with farming organisations or solar EPCs.
You'll play a key role in a growing and mission-driven business, helping launch products that drive food security, industrial sustainability, and access to renewable energy. Expect a flexible, remote-first role, plenty of autonomy, and the opportunity to make a lasting impact across multiple sectors.
