Business Development Representative - Wunder Capital

About Wunder

Wunder is building a Modern Energy Company.

We were founded with one simple vision: to address the greatest crisis of our generation by accelerating the deployment of solar energy. In doing so, we help businesses, municipalities, and schools save money by delivering clean on-site power. We convert simple warehouses into electrified industrial platforms built for the future. We enable the nation's leading commercial and industrial real estate firms to capture the benefits of solar across their properties. We align ESG goals with revenue targets, and the renewable energy assets we're deploying today will power America's tomorrow.

Wunder currently holds more than $1 billion in solar assets under management and capital commitments. Our team has evaluated more than 10,000 properties for solar across all 50 states. Our average solar system - about 480 kilowatts in size - can offset 350,000 pounds of coal burned each year of system operation! 

The Role

We have an amazing opportunity for a hungry sales professional to launch their career in renewable energy, join our fast-growing team, and work on multi-million dollar deals every week. 

Wunder's Account Management team partners with some of the nation's largest commercial and industrial real estate owners and tenants to deliver seamless solar and energy storage solutions across their properties nationwide. We have a relentless focus on delivering an exceptional customer experience and maximizing value capture for our clients. To do so, we have reimagined the solar project development process (e.g., contracting, construction management, project finance, ongoing system operations), and that starts with best-in-class customer outreach, education, and decision support.

In this role you will work cross-functionally with Wunder's Sales Executives, Account Managers, Project Development professionals, and platform teams to understand the market landscape and opportunity intimately. You will need to flex your market research, communication, and sales skills to identify target customers, qualify outbound leads, strategically reach out to key decision makers, and - eventually - conduct introductory meetings. To be successful, you will need to become an expert on commercial and industrial real estate archetypes, target markets, organizational structures, modern sales tools, and data resources. 

This role is special because you will be on the front lines in our fight against climate change, actively accelerating the deployment of renewable energy resources. The sales pipeline that you help develop and support will directly lead to more solar panels on rooftops across America. And the organization that you  will be working within looks notably different than others in renewable energy. You will be on a team with members from diverse backgrounds in tech, finance, and project management who are dependable, ambitious, and supportive.

If you get excited about unlocking the untapped commercial and industrial market, joining a team designed for hyper-growth, closing million dollar deals every week, and building an organization aimed at saving the world, then this is the role for you.

About You

• A Solid Foundation  - You're a recent graduate that has a solid internship or 1-2 years of sales experience under your belt. You're hungry to learn, excited to build out a robust pipeline of large-scale solar energy projects, and thrilled to learn from some of the industry's best and brightest.

• You're Stoked About Sales - You've probably been described as 'type-A' and 'extroverted.' Your ideal day involves researching properties, uncovering their owners, and investigating how to best approach and pitch them on  solar. You don't shy away from just hopping on the phone with a potential client and you go above and beyond to create email outreach campaigns that "wow." Essentially, you were born for this role.

• You're Detail Oriented & Highly Organized - You know that the devil is in the details and you go the extra mile to ensure all your i's are dotted and t's are crossed. You update Salesforce and Astra (our internal software) so often that it feels like an extension of yourself. You appreciate how important our data fidelity is and you protect it as such.

• You Have a Team Ethos - You thrive in a creative, inventive, fast-paced rapid-growth environment, with people who are passionate about their work and mission. You're not just excited to work cross-functionally, you crave it.

• You're Flexible, a Quick Responder - The problem we're trying to solve as an organization is dynamic and each day brings fresh and exciting challenges. You can react quickly and efficiently when called upon to change or pivot.

• You Believe That No Problem is Too Hard - In an industry where people are constantly stuck, we find ways to get it done. You know how to articulate and roll out solutions, recognizing there are many solutions to the same problem. You find new and effective ways to streamline and create processes to increase efficiency.

• Located in Boulder or Denver, CO - Candidates must currently live in, or be willing to relocate to, the Boulder/Denver area.
