About the role
Autarco is looking for a Dutch native speaking Business Developer to acquire new distributors, dealers and wholesalers in the Dutch solar energy industry. You are responsible for generating the contacts and leads in our Dutch market. You follow and analyse changes on the market to know what the next strategic topics/developments are for us. You have a hunger for a next deal and don’t have ‘cold calling fear’.
Diary of our Business Developer…
My agenda for today is swamped with meetings with potential wholesalers and dealers in the the Southern part of the Netherlands. I had a little cold-calling contest with my colleagues last week, and represented the company at a renewable energy fair the week before, and am reaping the benefits of this today. On my way to my first appointment, I have my daily start up call with my colleagues from sales: My chance to brag about how many meetings I have and, better yet, how many deals I expect to score today. I know how to encourage my potential clients to work with Autarco; We are the only solar brand that delivers on your systems full potential by combining our own hardware and software to maximise the yield of your solar installation. The result: Autarco performs 5% better than any other system on the market today. That’s the power of a single-brand solar solution. At the end of the day, I have generated multiple leads, have been asked to prepare a quotation, and to write out an order. I’ll do that first thing tomorrow when I’m back in the Eindhoven office.

About us
At Autarco we love making an impact by accelerating the transition to solar energy. We do this by giving solar installers super powers by combining our high quality hardware (modules, inverters, etc.) with our innovative software. This allows them to work much more effectively and sell and install more solar installations than their competitors. With us installers can easily design, sell, install and maintain solar power systems.
We believe that work should be fun. A happy and fulfilled team is our number one priority. We are a hard working team, with an informal and “tell it how it is” culture. Our working environment is dynamic, with short communication lines and most of all fun. We are a close-knit team, where everyone works together with mutual respect. Thinking along and showing initiative is strongly encouraged in everybody, because we do it together! Working in a team is just as natural for us as generating solar energy.
Located in the vibrant Strijp-S area of Eindhoven, the Netherlands, we're on a mission to revolutionise the solar energy landscape. We're looking for talented individuals to join our team and be part of our transformative journey.
