About the Role
An international energy technology company is accelerating its commercial expansion across the UK and Ireland and is hiring a Senior Sales Manager to take full ownership of direct revenue growth in these two core markets. This is a senior, quota-carrying role with end-to-end responsibility for winning and closing complex B2B infrastructure projects across EV charging and adjacent energy solutions.
The role is explicitly execution-focused. You are expected to open doors, build pipeline, negotiate contracts, and close material deals with limited support infrastructure. This is not a channel-only or account-maintenance role. Commercial ownership, pace, and deal discipline are central.
Key Responsibilities
* Own the full sales cycle across the UK and Ireland, from market entry and opportunity creation through negotiation, contracting, and close, with clear accountability for revenue delivery
* Build and convert a pipeline of large-scale B2B opportunities with CPOs, fleet operators, utilities, property groups, infrastructure developers, and strategic partners
* Lead senior-level commercial discussions, pricing strategy, and contract negotiations, managing long and technically complex sales cycles
* Develop and execute a UK & Ireland go-to-market strategy aligned with European growth priorities, including target accounts, vertical focus, and deal sequencing
* Maintain rigorous pipeline management, forecasting accuracy, and KPI ownership, with clear visibility on conversion risk and timing
* Work closely with engineering, delivery, and operations teams to ensure commercial commitments are executable and projects transition cleanly from order to delivery
* Continuously assess market structure, regulatory dynamics, competitor positioning, and customer buying behavior in the UK and Irish EV infrastructure markets
Requirements
* 4–7+ years of B2B sales experience in EV charging, energy infrastructure, power equipment, industrial technology, or closely related sectors
* Demonstrated track record of closing high-value, project-based deals in the UK market; Ireland exposure strongly preferred
* Proven ability to operate autonomously in a senior, build-and-close role without heavy internal sales support
* Commercially assertive, outcome-driven sales style with comfort pushing senior stakeholders, managing objections, and driving decisions to close
* Strong capability to sell technically complex solutions, translating engineering and delivery constraints into clear commercial value propositions
* High ownership of numbers, pipeline, and forecast, with disciplined sales hygiene and data-driven decision-making
* Willingness to travel regularly across the UK and Ireland, with occasional European travel as required
* Understanding of EV charging infrastructure, grid constraints, and large-site deployment dynamics is a strong advantage
Location & Contract
* UK-based preferred (London or major regional hub); flexibility for the right profile
* Employment, consultancy, or EOR structures available depending on seniority and setup
