Job Overview

The Head of Sales will own Heron's end-to-end sales pipeline and accounts across the solar/storage segment. This role is responsible for sourcing, qualifying, and closing deals with solar and storage developers, building out an account management organization, and standing up the sales processes needed to scale revenue.

You will be a key leadership member of Heron's commercial and product organization, partnering closely with Business Development (BD), Commercial Operations, Product, Solutions Engineering, Finance, and Service to translate customer demand into product priorities and deliverable commitments.
