at Veckta

🏢 About Veckta

Veckta stands out by focusing specifically on streamlining onsite energy systems to make energy transitions cost-efficient for businesses. Their SaaS platform approach to sustainability solutions offers a scalable, technology-driven alternative to traditional consulting models. Working here means contributing directly to practical decarbonization efforts in the automotive sector, which is undergoing significant transformation.

About This Role

This role serves as the critical connector between automotive dealers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and Veckta's platform, specifically for their Net Zero Program. You'll be responsible for onboarding dealers onto the SaaS platform while facilitating sustainability initiatives across multiple stakeholders. Your work directly impacts dealer adoption of energy efficiency measures and contributes measurable progress toward net-zero goals in the automotive retail sector.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day typically involves virtual meetings with automotive dealers across Western Europe to guide them through the Net Zero Program onboarding process, while simultaneously coordinating with OEM representatives on program alignment. You'll spend significant time analyzing energy usage data through Veckta's SaaS platform to identify efficiency opportunities and prepare performance reports that demonstrate program impact to various stakeholders.

🎯 Who Veckta Is Looking For

  • Has 2+ years of hands-on experience implementing sustainability or energy efficiency programs, preferably in automotive, retail, or commercial sectors
  • Demonstrates proven ability to manage complex stakeholder relationships across dealer networks, OEMs, and vendor partners simultaneously
  • Is technically proficient with SaaS platforms and can quickly master Veckta's specific tools for tracking energy usage and generating performance reports
  • Possesses exceptional communication skills tailored to both technical discussions about energy metrics and relationship-building with dealer principals

📝 Tips for Applying to Veckta

1

Quantify your experience with specific metrics: instead of 'managed sustainability projects,' state 'increased energy efficiency by 15% across 20 retail locations through SaaS platform implementation'

2

Highlight any experience with automotive dealership operations, even if indirect - this shows understanding of the specific stakeholder environment

3

Demonstrate familiarity with net-zero concepts in commercial settings, particularly how they apply to energy-intensive operations like automotive dealerships

4

Include examples of using SaaS platforms for tracking and reporting - name specific platforms you've used and what you accomplished with them

5

Tailor your resume to show how you've acted as a liaison between multiple parties, emphasizing coordination and communication across different organizational cultures

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter
