The Role

At Span, we are building products that enable the rapid adoption of renewable energy like home solar, batteries, and electric vehicles. The Span Smart Panel replaces the standard electrical panel to become the center for connected power in the home, providing revolutionary insights and home energy controls through the Span mobile app. 

We’ve developed a breakthrough product for residential solar + storage customers, have seen strong initial market traction, and are looking to rapidly grow revenue by expanding our Sales team. Span is seeking a B2B Sales Representative (Solar and Storage) to source, sell to, and manage relationships with our solar installer customers.

  • Act as the subject matter expert on Span product offerings, customer use cases, installation considerations and complementary products like solar and storage. 
  • Onboard signed customers to Span, ensuring that sales and operational teams are trained and effectively activated with the product.
  • Work closely with Span’s Regional Sales Managers to identify and grow key markets, customers and programs that best support team goals. 

We’re growing quickly so be prepared for responsibilities to shift and grow with performance. We’re explicitly looking for people who are excited to roll up their sleeves and do whatever is needed to find quality partners, help make them successful, and who are ready to take on additional responsibilities as needed.
