Commercial Lead - Kapacity.io, part of EnergyHub
Location : Nordics or Western Europe - Remote
The role
Kapacity.io helps energy retailers unlock residential energy flexibility - making residential households active participants in a cleaner, more resilient power grid.

This role exists to build the go to market strategy: develop the market, open the right doors, and create the motion that drives our next phase of growth.
What you'll do
- Build the commercial motion. Create the process, structure, and repeatability success is built on - qualification frameworks, proposals, positioning, pricing input. The team will learn from how you work.
- Develop the market. Identify and engage the right people at energy retailers across the Nordics, Germany, France, Benelux and the UK. Use the network you have, build the one you don't, and keep qualified opportunities moving forward.
- Own the room. Lead executive-level conversations with senior buyer and technical audiences - in person, remote, and at industry conferences. Monthly travel is expected, both for events and customer visits.
- Shape commercial strategy. You'll have direct input into how we go to market, not just execute on it.
- Feed intelligence back. Stay close to policy, regulation, and competitor moves in your markets. What you hear shapes product and leadership decisions.
- Prospect actively through conferences, direct outreach, and network development to find and engage the right people in energy retail and flexibility roles across Europe.
What success looks like
In year one, you've established a genuine presence in our priority markets - meaningful relationships with the right people at energy retailers, a healthy and honest pipeline, and a commercial process the team can build on. You're not inheriting someone else's work; you're creating the foundation.

What we're looking for
- A proven track record in commercial roles - business development, sales, or strategic accounts - in B2B or enterprise environments. You've built pipeline, not just worked one.
- Experience selling SaaS or technology into regulated or complex buying environments.
- Someone who can build a sales process, not just run one. Self-sufficient on proposals and presentations.
- Genuinely social - you build trust quickly with senior stakeholders and thrive at conferences and industry events.
- A clear, confident communicator across technical and commercial audiences.
- Comfortable operating without structure and creating it where it doesn't exist.
- English required. German, French, or Swedish is a meaningful advantage.
Nice to have
- Familiarity with energy markets, demand flexibility, or distributed energy resources.
- An existing network among energy retailers in the Nordics, Germany, or the UK.
- Experience contributing to pricing, packaging, or market positioning decisions.
