Palo Alto, United States Future Energy Ventures Full time

We are looking for a Senior Commercial Manager (all genders) for our portfolio company Piclo.

About Piclo

The climate crisis means that now, more than ever, we need to act. Here at Piclo, we believe we are not powerless against climate change and are focused on enabling the transition to a decarbonized future. Our team is on a mission to make our energy systems smart, flexible and sustainable.

We’re hiring a Senior Commercial Manager to work alongside our friendly team of software engineers, product managers, designers and more that are at the forefront of transforming the energy sector.

The US market is strategically very important for our company. In less than a year, Piclo has made a splash in expanding within North America. We have grown from one utility customer in New York State - where we launched our local grid flexibility marketplace with National Grid in December 2022 - to running New England’s first grid flexibility marketplace with Eversource and Avangrid across Connecticut. Piclo needs additional staff to support this new growth in our DER-enabled (Distributed Energy Resource) grid flexibility marketplace as we look to expand into new markets. This is a key period for us as we ramp up our growth and develop momentum among key potential customers.

Piclo is a rapidly growing team, headquartered in London, UK, with over 50 people across offices in Australia, Italy, and the east coast of the US. Piclo has backing from a range of investors including Clean Growth Fund, Future Energy Ventures, EDP Ventures and Toshiba. Our company's values are: be human, collaborate, keep things simple, be adaptable, be open & push boundaries.

Tasks

Reporting directly to the Chief Growth Officer, this role sits within our Commercial Team and would be responsible for (but not limited to) the following:

Business development and thought leadership

  2. Lead sales engagement for prospective customers by preparing and providing product demos, explaining functionality, and executing thoughtful campaigns
  3. Assist in expansion opportunity scouting, including direct sales, federal/state/regional innovation funding (e.g., BIL, IRA), and RFPs, and relevant application and presentation development

Market participation and liquidity

  1. Collaborate with our marketing team to build DER market participation and liquidity through professional networking and targeted engagement activities, such as strategic marketing and partnerships
  2. Provide guidance and consulting around market design, launch, and operations for newer utility customers in the region
  3. Attend trade shows and relevant industry events, and proactively seek partners to support our growth strategy

Client satisfaction and retention

  1. Day-to-day key account management of specific named utility clients, ensuring their satisfaction and effective relationship management
  2. Work with the product team to ensure their work satisfies the customer on the agreed upon timeline
  3. Act as the primary communication link with clients for product feedback and account management
  4. Contribute to the maintenance and growth of client accounts by providing high-quality input for product roadmap prioritization, ensuring alignment with market needs and strategy
  5. Manage the entire lifecycle of client contracts, including renewals, upselling, invoicing, and collections

Market positioning and thought leadership

  1. Work with Senior Market Development Manager to catapult Piclo as a thought leader in grid modernization and DERs by contributing to content pieces, delivering public presentations, building the collaborator network, and monitoring and reacting to the regulatory environment

  • Based in the West US and willing to travel periodically for customer meetings or business development opportunities, mostly across the US
  • Ability to travel to London periodically for team building
Benefits

  • Competitive compensation package
  • 25 days holiday - excluding federal holidays
  • 40-hour week - with flexible working hours
  • Remote working - opportunities to travel to meet the US team, and to London, to meet the wider company
  • A super welcoming, supportive, collaborative and transparent culture where the priority is to help shape your role to find the best balance between what we need as a business and your career progression plans.

Inclusivity

Our team welcomes everyone to work together on our mission. We don’t believe that anyone should be discriminated against for any reason, be that age, nationality, gender, race, sexual preferences, religious beliefs, political leanings or disabilities. We welcome diversity among our colleagues and see it as important that everyone is supported and comfortable working with us.

Studies have shown that some groups of people, like women, are less likely to apply to a role unless they meet 100% of the job requirements. Whoever you are, if you like one of our jobs, we encourage you to apply as you might just be the candidate we hire.
