About Memodo

Memodo sells solar and storage systems. The company operates in the renewable energy sector. The job is remote but the sales territory is the Großraum Singen, Freiburg, Konstanz area (PLZ 78-79).

About the role

You win and develop B2B customers in your region, including Handwerksbetriebe, Bauunternehmen, and Energieversorger. You advise in a solution-oriented way, manage the sales process from first contact to closing, and build a network in the energy transition. The role is full-time, permanent, 40 hours per week, starting immediately.

A typical day

A typical day involves traveling to customer sites or meeting B2B clients remotely within PLZ 78-79, advising on solar and storage solutions, and managing your sales pipeline. You work from a home office when not on the road. The exact daily routine depends on customer meetings and internal coordination, so ask about typical travel time and CRM tools in the interview.

Who Memodo is looking for

• Has sales experience in B2B, ideally in solar, storage, or a related technical field.
• Lives in or near the sales territory (PLZ 78-79: Singen, Freiburg, Konstanz) and knows the local market.
• Can manage the full sales cycle independently, from first contact to closing.
• Is comfortable with remote work and frequent travel within the territory.

Tips for this application

• State clearly in your CV or cover letter that you live in or can cover PLZ 78-79. This is a field sales role, so location matters.
• Name specific B2B customer types you have sold to before, such as Handwerksbetriebe, Bauunternehmen, or Energieversorger.
• If you have experience with solar or storage products, list the specific products or brands. If not, explain how your sales experience transfers.
• Mention your willingness to travel daily within the territory and to work remotely from a home office.
• Apply in German. The job ad and likely the team language are German.

What to cover in your cover letter

Your cover letter should focus on: your connection to the PLZ 78-79 region and your ability to travel there daily; your B2B sales track record with concrete examples of customer types and deal sizes; your motivation to work in renewable energy and any product knowledge in solar or storage; and your ability to work remotely while managing a field territory.
