SV Academy is partnering with a high growth global SaaS company that is transforming how solar energy systems are designed and deployed.

About the Role
As a Sales Development Representative, you will be responsible for generating new business opportunities and building pipeline for the sales team while representing a product that helps solar companies design faster, more accurately, and at scale.
In this role, you will prospect and research target accounts across the renewable energy space, execute outbound outreach through calls, email, and LinkedIn, and qualify leads to book meetings for Account Executives. You will manage your pipeline in CRM tools, collaborate with Sales and Marketing to refine messaging, and stay up to date on trends in solar and climate tech. There may also be opportunities to represent the team at events and trade shows.
This is a high-performance environment where consistency, ownership, and curiosity are key to success.
