We're looking for three experienced Directors of Engineering (m/f/d) to lead some of our key
business domains as we scale. You'll guide technical strategy while building
empowered teams that deliver real impact for our mission of making solar energy
accessible to everyone.
The three domains are:
- In the Customer Acquisition domain, you are responsible for the lead and sales lifecycle. You help customers from their initial interest to a signed contract. With more sales channels being added, growing our digital product with clear stakeholder communication is key.
- In the Enablement domain, you are responsible for creating valid offers for our customers. You move an initial sketch of an energy system to a buildable, concrete proposal. The main challenge here is integration and managing complexity of multiple physical products.
- In the Lifecycle domain, you are responsible for customer lifecycle, product configuration and communication. You keep an overview of who the customer is, what they bought and how we are interacting with them. You use the synergies of upselling initiatives and new product introductions to streamline the customer journey.
We are looking for people with excellent technical and people-leadership skills. Aligning
architecture across multiple teams is a key part of the role.
