How to Apply for Technical Account Manager (LATAM)

at PVcase

๐Ÿข About PVcase

PVcase is revolutionizing solar design with cutting-edge software that maximizes yield and reduces carbon footprints globally. As a fast-growing company in the renewable energy sector, they offer a dynamic, remote-first culture and the opportunity to directly impact the transition to clean energy in Latin America.

About This Role

As the Technical Account Manager for LATAM, you'll own the entire customer lifecycleโ€”from onboarding to expansionโ€”for key accounts in the region. You'll act as a bridge between customers and internal teams, ensuring adoption of PVcase's solar design tools while driving retention and revenue growth.

๐Ÿ’ก A Day in the Life

Your day might start with a check-in with a Chilean customer facing a technical issue, followed by a cross-functional sync with Product to relay feedback. Afternoon involves analyzing usage data to identify at-risk accounts, then preparing an executive business review for a major Mexican developer. You'll end the day by creating a training video in Spanish for a new feature.

๐ŸŽฏ Who PVcase Is Looking For

  • A bilingual (English/Spanish) solar design expert with 3+ years in utility-scale solar, comfortable using AutoCAD and solar design software like PVsyst or Helioscope.
  • A relationship-builder who can serve as a trusted advisor, proactively identify customer needs, and coordinate cross-functional resolution of technical issues.
  • Data-driven and business-savvy, with experience presenting executive business reviews and hitting net retention and churn targets.
  • Comfortable working remotely across LATAM time zones and collaborating with global teams in Sales, Product, and Marketing.

๐Ÿ“ Tips for Applying to PVcase

1

Highlight specific LATAM solar projects you've worked on, emphasizing your familiarity with local regulations, grid codes, and utility-scale challenges.

2

Quantify your impact in previous rolesโ€”e.g., 'Managed 15 accounts with 95% retention' or 'Reduced onboarding time by 30%'.

3

Showcase your AutoCAD expertise: mention specific commands, macros, or integrations you've used that are relevant to solar design.

4

Tailor your resume to reflect both technical and account management skillsโ€”use a hybrid format that balances project examples with customer success metrics.

5

Include a brief cover letter that references PVcase's mission and your passion for solar energy in Latin America, not just generic enthusiasm.

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

['Your bilingual ability and deep understanding of LATAM solar markets (e.g., Mexico, Chile, Brazil) and their unique challenges.', 'Proven experience in both technical solar design and customer-facing account management roles.', "Specific examples of how you've driven product adoption and reduced churn through proactive support and training.", "Your alignment with PVcase's mission to decarbonize energy and your enthusiasm for remote collaboration across time zones."]

1 Walk me through how you would onboard a new utility-scale solar developer in Brazil, including technical and cultural considerations.
2 Describe a time you turned around a struggling customer relationship. What steps did you take to improve adoption and retention?
3 How do you prioritize competing demands from multiple customers while also meeting internal net retention targets?
