How to apply for Senior Sales Expert (f/m/x)

About Enspired

Enspired uses AI-driven trading to optimize flexible assets like grid-scale storage in European power markets. The company is the leading optimizer of grid-scale storage across Europe, so the work directly supports the energy transition.

About the role

As a senior sales expert, you own the full B2B sales cycle: building relationships with renewable and grid-scale storage developers in your region, managing your pipeline, and closing deals. You work in a growth team with support from marketing and business development, and you represent the company at calls and events.

A typical day

A typical day includes calls with renewable and grid-scale storage developers, updating your pipeline, and working with marketing and business development on go-to-market plans. You may also attend industry events or internal meetings to align on client projects. Ask the hiring team how much travel is expected and how the growth team divides regions.

Who Enspired is looking for

• 5+ years of quota-carrying B2B sales experience, with a record of closing complex, solution-oriented deals.
• Understands the power industry and how flexibility (storage, demand response, trading) supports the energy transition.
• Can explain technical and business value clearly to developers of renewable and grid-scale storage projects.
• Based in Austria, Belgium, Slovakia, Spain, or the UK, and able to travel for client meetings and events.

Tips for this application

• State your location clearly in your CV or cover letter, because the company can only consider candidates in Austria, Belgium, Slovakia, Spain, and the UK.
• Quantify your sales results: quota attainment, deal sizes, and the number of complex B2B deals you closed in energy or a related technical field.
• Name specific power market or flexibility experience (storage, renewable development, trading, PPAs) rather than general 'energy' interest.
• Explain how you manage a full sales cycle without heavy hand-holding, since the role gives you full responsibility for pipeline and closing.
• Mention any experience selling to grid-scale storage or renewable developers, because the job description names these as your core contacts.

What to cover in your cover letter

['Your location and right to work in one of the five eligible countries.', 'Concrete examples of quota-carrying sales in power, flexibility, or grid-scale storage.', 'How you handle complex, solution-oriented sales with technical buyers.', "Why AI-driven trading for flexible assets interests you, based on what you know about Enspired's market position."]

Research before applying

• Enspired's AI-driven trading model and how it optimizes grid-scale storage assets.
• Which European power markets Enspired operates in and how flexibility is valued there.
• Recent grid-scale storage projects or partnerships Enspired has announced.
• Who the main competitors are for storage optimization and trading in Europe.

Likely interview topics

Based on the job description, expect questions about:

• Walk through a complex B2B deal you closed from first contact to signature.
• How do you explain the value of flexibility and storage optimization to a developer who is new to trading?
• How do you build and manage a pipeline when you have full ownership and limited direct supervision?
• What do you know about European power markets and where grid-scale storage is growing fastest?
• How would you work with marketing and business development to open a new region?

Common mistakes to avoid

• Applying without confirming you are based in one of the five eligible countries (Austria, Belgium, Slovakia, Spain, UK).
• Writing a generic cover letter that does not mention power markets, flexibility, or storage.
• Claiming sales experience without numbers, deal examples, or evidence of quota attainment.
