Field Manager of Solar and EV Charging
We are looking for a senior leader to shape and scale Goldenergy’s portfolio in the areas of solar energy, batteries, prosumers, electric vehicle charging and energy flexibility.
This role combines product ownership with field operations management, ensuring the definition of the value proposition, business model and customer experience, as well as the delivery capacity of teams, partners and installations.
The position deliberately brings together two complementary profiles: product, commercial or energy-market leadership; or hands-on technical and operational field management. Candidates who can combine both perspectives and lead an integrated portfolio will be particularly valued.
The successful candidate will connect strategy with execution, working closely with Field Services, IT, Sales, Customer Care, Marketing, Legal, Finance and external partners. The role will play a central part in defining priorities, standards and operating models, turning market opportunities into profitable, customer-centred and operationally robust services.
