About Aurora Solar

Aurora is on a mission to create a future of solar for all. Our award-winning software puts the power of data and technology into the hands of every solar professional to make solar adoption simple and predictable. Our software has designed millions of solar projects so far, empowering solar companies to sell, design, and install residential and commercial solar arrays accurately, seamlessly, and at scale.


We are a remote-first collaborative team of sustainable energy enthusiasts who love what we do. We’ve been named one of "The Best Mid-Sized Remote Companies To Work for in 2024" by BuiltIn.com and have been recognized for the second time as a Certified Green Business (CGB) with the city of San Francisco. We’re in this together to support the world’s transition to solar.

About the Role
In this role you will be a founding member of the initial HelioScope sales team at Aurora, helping to scale this business dramatically within the German and European market over the coming years. HelioScope was acquired by Aurora Solar in 2021 and is focused on the Commercial, Industrial, and Utility Solar sector. With a best-in-class product, strong brand recognition, and over 4,000 clients worldwide, you will drive sales across the existing customer base as well as net new logos within the European markets. This role will be an overlay role, so you’ll be teaming up with an Aurora AE to sell HelioScope into new and existing accounts.

Your Impact

  • Sell HelioScope: Target both existing customers and acquire new ones in the German and European markets
  • Refine Sales Strategy for the European Market: Develop and implement a sales strategy for HelioScope's C&I sector offerings in Germany and the broader European market
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with Sales Engineers, Value Consultants, and Customer Success Managers to improve sales collateral, demos, and pitch decks
  • Voice of the Customer: Act as the liaison between customers and the product team in partnership with Sales Engineers and Value Consultant, providing input for the product roadmap

What You Bring

  • At least 2 years of experience in SaaS, ideally in Sales or Account Management
  • Experience in working with Mid-Market and/or Enterprise customers with deal cycles that take 3-6 months on average
  • A self-starter who takes full ownership of their territory and book of business
  • Entrepreneurial spirit with a strong desire to learn the ins and outs of the solar industry
  • Ability to maintain high ethical standards in a fast-paced startup setting
  • Approach sales with curiosity, intelligence, and a mission-focused attitude
  • Openness to receive and act on feedback to improve and adapt
  • Willingness to travel
  • Business-level proficiency in English and Spanish or French.
  • Language Requirement: Proficient in both written and spoken English. We kindly request that your resume be submitted in English
