Job Description

Role purpose

The Prospector builds the top of our C&I sales funnel. You will find, reach and qualify decision-makers at large energy users — then hand qualified meetings to our BD Managers to close.

This is an outbound role: cold calling, email sequences and digital campaigns, run with discipline and measured weekly.

Requirements

Key responsibilities

Research and targeting

  • Build and maintain target account lists of large Commercial & Industry energy users
  • Identify decision-makers — CFOs, Heads of Energy/Utilities, Plant Heads, Sustainability and Procurement leads.
  • Use LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo.io, databases and industry sources to enrich contacts and track trigger events (expansions, RE100/ESG commitments, tariff changes).

Outbound outreach

  • Run daily cold-calling blocks to open conversations and book discovery meetings.
  • Plan and run multi-touch email sequences — personalised copy, A/B testing, follow-ups.
  • Execute digital campaigns with marketing: LinkedIn outreach, webinars, event follow-ups and content-led nurturing.

Qualification and handover

  • Qualify leads on load profile, annual consumption, tariff, site/roof availability, state regulations and decision timeline.
  • Hand over qualified opportunities to BD Managers with clean notes and next steps.
  • Nurture not-ready leads until they are sales-ready.

CRM and reporting

  • Log every activity and lead stage in the CRM; keep data clean.
  • Share weekly reports on activity, conversion rates and pipeline created.
  • Feed market insights (competitor offers, objections, pricing signals) back to the sales and marketing teams.

Must-have Experience And Skills

  • 3–5 years in outbound prospecting, inside sales, lead generation or business development — B2B strongly preferred.
  • Experience selling to corporate or industrial buyers (CFOs, plant heads, admin/facilities, procurement) in sectors such as Renewable Energy, Industrial / Engineering Products, Electrical & HVAC equipment, Corporate Banking / Finance, Commercial Real Estate or Facility Services, Energy Efficiency / ESG consulting, or B2B SaaS. An RE background is a plus, not a requirement.
  • Proven cold-calling track record with large enterprises, comfortable speaking to CXO-level contacts.
  • Hands-on experience running email campaigns (sequencing, personalisation, tracking open and reply rates).
  • Experience with digital campaigns — LinkedIn outreach, Sales Navigator, webinars or paid/social lead generation.
  • Working knowledge of a CRM tools
  • Clear spoken and written English; confident, persistent and organised.
  • Graduate in any discipline; Engineering or MBA is a plus.
