🏢 About Green Fusion
Green Fusion is unique because it combines industrial automation with sustainability goals, specifically targeting boiler room optimization for energy savings and CO₂ reduction. This company offers the opportunity to work on tangible environmental impact while building a market from scratch in France, appealing to those who want entrepreneurial freedom within a mission-driven organization.
About This Role
This role involves launching Green Fusion's French market entirely from zero—creating the go-to-market strategy, executing hands-on sales, and establishing partnerships. It's impactful because you'll be the architect of the company's presence in France, directly contributing to both revenue growth and environmental sustainability through energy-efficient solutions.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might involve morning calls with German HQ teams to align on priorities, followed by prospecting French real estate companies, developing partnership proposals for installation services, and updating CRM with pipeline insights. You'd likely end the day analyzing French energy market trends to refine your go-to-market approach.
