Solutions Consultant (Open applications)
At Gradyent we're looking for a Solution Consultant to join our team.
Join our talent community to explore FY 2025 opportunities and help shape our district heating systems
Full-time · Netherlands, Germany, Nordics
Providing heating and cooling for homes, buildings and industry accounts for roughly 50% of global energy consumption. Smart production, exchange and consumption of heat in heating grids is the most significant opportunity for cities and industries to decarbonize. Yet, as heating grids transform towards renewables, they become increasingly complex and require a new approach to control and design.
Gradyent is a leading software provider that helps cities and heavy industry decarbonize faster by digitizing, optimizing, and transforming their heat networks with our Digital Twin.
We are scaling the platform globally and looking for a Solution Consultant for the Netherlands, DACH & Nordics market to join our Sales and Operations team.
As Solution Consultant, you will establish yourself as expert in the district heating sector and have a key role in our sales process. Both the heating systems of our clients as well as our product have a high level of complexity. You will be the one that will understand both, from a deep technical and business value perspective, and connect the dots between them.
Typically, when a potential client progresses in our sales funnel, the client will need more technical expertise then the business development people can offer. The SC is the one that makes tangible how a digital twin can accelerate decarbonization and efficiency in their specific context. The SC defines the solution, journey and ensures the digital twin will create the most value for the client. SCs are often the most qualified resource on the call, and both the seller and buyer often put a lot of trust in the SC.
In this role you will develop both deep knowledge of district heating and digitalization, you will need the selling skills to uncover client needs, and creative and explanatory capabilities to fit those to our new innovative technology. You will work directly with the Business development directors and be their technical counterpart, and work internally with our product (marketing) teams to ensure our offering stays up to date.
