About PHENOGY

PHENOGY develops and commercializes battery energy storage systems (BESS) and is scaling fast. Our strategic partnership with Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG provides the industrial backbone – from procurement and manufacturing to installation and service. As we scale rapidly and internationally, we are building a strong Technical Sales team.

Your Role

You connect customer requirements, PHENOGY’s technology and profitable commercial execution. You turn customer needs into technically feasible, commercially attractive BESS solutions and independently drive opportunities to contract closure.

Your Tasks & Responsibilities

• Understand customers & develop solutions

Analyse business models, load profiles, site and grid connection conditions, and investment criteria

Identify technical limitations and execution risks early and keep customer expectations realistic

• Customisation & lighthouse projects

Define scope, effort and cost of customisation and how it is recovered: direct payment, volume-based recovery or approved strategic investment

Identify lighthouse references and turn them into repeatable offerings and follow-on business

• Win profitable business

Own opportunities from qualification through proposal and negotiation to contract closure

Drive customer relationship in all forms (workshops, project opportunities, tenders, …)

Build business cases (TCO, payback, ROI) and optimise configuration, scope and pricing; apply disciplined bid/no-bid decisions

• Feasibility & handover

Validate delivery feasibility with Engineering, Operations, Service

Hand over complete specifications, exclusions, risks and acceptance criteria to the delivery team

• Voice of the customer & sales discipline

Feed structured customer, competitor and win/loss insights into Product Management and Engineering; support new product introductions

Keep CRM and rolling forecast accurate; protect margin through scope control and sound payment milestones

Must-haves

• Degree in electrical, energy or industrial engineering or a comparable field – equivalent practical experience is equally relevant

• Proven experience in technical sales, sales engineering, application engineering or solution sales for BESS, renewables, power electronics or industrial energy solutions

• Sound understanding of BESS (batteries, inverters, system integration, controls, EMS) and applications such as peak shaving, self-consumption, renewable integration, backup power and market participation

• Experience building customer business cases and communicating the financial value of technical solutions

• Experience with tenders, technical specifications, proposals and negotiations

• Ability to manage several opportunities and customer projects in parallel

• Fluent German and English

• Willingness to travel internationally

Nice-to-haves

• Experience turning first customer projects into repeatable solutions or broader market opportunities
