Battery Sales Director

About Voltus

Voltus is the leading platform connecting distributed energy resources to electricity markets, delivering more affordable, reliable, and sustainable power. Our commercial and industrial (C&I) customers, along with our residential and grid services partners, earn revenue by allowing Voltus to maximize the value of their flexible load, distributed generation, energy storage, energy efficiency, and electric vehicle resources. Our product is tested and proven, and we have moved from startup to a stage of significant, rapid growth. We believe in "doing well by doing good," which includes doing right by our team, customers, and partners.

The Role

Voltus is seeking a Battery Sales Director to build and grow a book of battery customers across the Mid-Atlantic and Great Lakes regions. As load growth accelerates, the grid faces structural constraints, and speed-to-power and affordability have become foundational to economic growth. Voltus has a long history of delivering faster, cleaner, lower-cost capacity by optimizing existing infrastructure. Now we are creating even more value by helping customers deploy batteries that cut their energy costs further. In this role, you will develop the customer relationships that make this possible, working directly with the facilities, manufacturers, and institutions that will host batteries on-site to create grid capacity.

Key metrics: MW of battery Letters of Intent (LOIs) signed, MW of Energy Services Agreements (ESAs) signed, and MW of batteries enrolled in market programs.
