POSITION DESCRIPTION :

We are seeking a high-performing and strategic Vice President of Sales – Grid & Energy Services to lead revenue growth across front-of-the-meter (FTM) and behind-the-meter (BTM) segments. This role will be responsible for driving customer acquisition, market expansion, and deal execution for our integrated energy solutions—combining solar, storage, hydro, microgrids, energy management software, EPC services, and financing.

The ideal candidate will bring a strong background in enterprise and utility energy sales, experience with complex deal structuring, and a demonstrated ability to scale sales teams in fast-moving environments. This position plays a critical role in delivering Hanwha’s vision of end-to-end energy services, leveraging our vertically integrated capabilities.

  • Build, manage, and scale a high-performing sales team across direct and channel sales.

2. Customer & Market Development

  • Identify, target, and win high-value accounts across priority segments (e.g., campuses, microgrids, communities, large C&I).
  • Cultivate C-level relationships with end customers, utilities, asset owners, and strategic partners.
  • Represent Hanwha in customer presentations, industry events, and policy forums to establish thought leadership.
  • 3. Commercial Deal Structuring

  • Lead proposal development, pricing strategy, contract negotiation, and risk mitigation in collaboration with legal, finance, and operations.
  • Structure performance-based agreements, PPAs, leases, and service contracts to meet customer and internal financial targets.
  • Work closely with finance and project development to align offerings with customer ROI and internal profitability.
  • 4. Cross-Functional Alignment

  • Collaborate with offering development, EPC, software, and operations teams to ensure delivery readiness and customer satisfaction.
  • Provide market feedback to guide offering roadmap, business case development, and go-to-market refinement.
  • Drive alignment between CRM tools, sales operations, and revenue forecasting systems.
  • 5. Sales Leadership

  • Build a results-driven sales culture with accountability, coaching, and performance management.
  • Establish KPIs for sales pipeline, close rates, customer acquisition costs, and revenue growth.
  • Foster collaboration across product, marketing, and engineering to accelerate sales cycles and customer onboarding.
  • REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Education : Bachelor’s degree in Business, Engineering, or Energy-related field; MBA preferred.
  • Experience : 10+ years of sales leadership in clean energy, DERs, energy software, or infrastructure services.
  • Proven track record in enterprise energy solutions sales, including SaaS-based EMS / DERMS / VPP platforms and integrated solar + storage solutions.
  • Deep experience with performance-based contracting, energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs), PPAs, and utility-facing offerings.
  • Familiarity with regulatory and market environments (e.g., CAISO, NYISO, PJM, ISO-NE).
  • PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Expertise in energy-as-a-service or recurring revenue energy business models.
  • Strong commercial and financial acumen with ability to align technical value to customer business outcomes.
  • Experience scaling national or regional sales teams in fast-growing energy or technology companies.
  • High EQ and proven leadership capability in a cross-functional, matrixed organization.
  • Hanwha Q CELLS America Inc. (“HQCA”) is a Qcells company, one of the world’s largest manufacturers and providers of solar photovoltaic (PV) products and solutions.  Headquartered in Irvine, California, HQCA has been rapidly expanding its business in North America through the expansion of products and solutions, including distributed energy solutions, direct-to-homeowner solar sales and financing, and EPC services.  We provide an opportunity to be part of an exciting and growing world-class global business in an interesting and expanding industry of the future.
