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

at Enspired

๐Ÿข About Enspired

Enspired is at the forefront of the energy transition, using AI-driven trading to optimize flexible assets in European power markets. As a remote-first company with a mission-driven team, you'll directly contribute to decarbonizing the grid while working with cutting-edge technology.

About This Role

As Senior Sales Expert, you'll own the full B2B sales cycle for renewable and storage developers in the UK, from prospecting to closing. Your work directly enables grid flexibility, making renewable energy more viable and accelerating the shift to a sustainable energy system.

๐Ÿ’ก A Day in the Life

Start your day by reviewing market news and pipeline updates, then hop on calls with UK developers to discuss how Enspired's AI can optimize their battery assets. Afternoons might involve a virtual meeting with a Polish prospect, followed by internal collaboration with the trading team to refine a proposal. You'll end the day updating CRM and preparing for tomorrow's client demo.

๐ŸŽฏ Who Enspired Is Looking For

  • Proven track record of exceeding quotas in complex B2B sales, ideally in energy or industrial tech, with 5+ years of experience.
  • Deep understanding of power markets, flexibility assets (batteries, renewables), and the regulatory landscape in the UK/Europe.
  • Fluent in English and either Polish or Italian, with the ability to negotiate and build trust across cultures.
  • Skilled in solution-oriented sales, able to consult clients on how AI trading optimizes their assets and ROI.

๐Ÿ“ Tips for Applying to Enspired

1

Tailor your resume to highlight quota achievement and specific energy industry wins, using metrics (e.g., 'Closed $2M in contracts with battery storage developers').

2

In your cover letter, explicitly connect your experience with the energy transitionโ€”mention how you've helped clients monetize flexibility.

3

Research Enspired's AI trading platform and reference it in your application; show you understand how it differs from traditional trading.

4

If you have experience in the UK power market (e.g., with National Grid, Elexon, or flexibility markets), emphasize it prominently.

5

Prepare a brief case study of a complex sale you led, detailing how you navigated technical and regulatory hurdles.

โœ‰๏ธ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your passion for the energy transition and how this role aligns with your career mission.', 'Specific examples of closing deals in the energy sector, especially with renewable or storage clients.', 'Your ability to manage the full sales cycle independently in a remote, cross-cultural environment.', 'Fluency in Polish or Italian and how it enables you to connect with clients in those markets.']

๐Ÿ” Research Before Applying

To stand out, make sure you've researched:

  • โ†’ Review Enspired's website and blog to understand their AI trading algorithms and case studies.
  • โ†’ Read about the UK's flexibility market reforms (e.g., Ofgem's recent consultations) and how Enspired fits in.
  • โ†’ Look up Enspired's leadership on LinkedIn to understand their background and company culture.
  • โ†’ Check recent news about European power markets, especially regarding battery storage and renewable integration.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Prepare for These Interview Topics

Based on this role, you may be asked about:

1 Describe a time you sold a complex, technical product to a skeptical C-level executive. How did you build trust?
2 How do you stay updated on UK energy policy and market trends? Give an example of how you leveraged that knowledge.
3 Walk me through your sales process for a new territory. How do you prioritize prospects?
4 Explain how AI-driven trading adds value for a battery storage developer. What metrics would you use to convince them?
5 How would you approach selling into the Polish or Italian market, given cultural and regulatory differences?

โš ๏ธ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't send a generic applicationโ€”failing to mention energy or flexibility shows lack of interest.
  • Avoid overselling without proof; back up claims with concrete examples and numbers.
  • Don't neglect the language requirement; if you only speak English, this role isn't for you.
