Energy Advisor - South Island

Jora New Zealand will close on 9th September 2026. Thank you for being with us, we are cheering you on as you continue your career journey. New Zealand has committed to a bold future: a fully electrified and resilient economy powered by renewable energy. Achieving it requires more than generation - it takes flexibility, storage, and intelligence at the edge of the grid. About Aotea Energy New Zealand has committed to a bold future: a fully electrified and resilient economy powered by renewable energy. Achieving it requires more than generation - it takes flexibility, storage, and intelligence at the edge of the grid. We build the most affordable and intelligent battery system in NZ. Our Mark1 gives homeowners automated control over when they import and export electricity, combined with a power plan that provides direct access to the wholesale market - slashing bills in half. Whether a home has solar or not, the Mark1 makes it smarter. For solar households, it captures and deploys generation at the moments it's worth most. For everyone else, it trades directly against the wholesale market, without panels. The role You'll own the full residential sales cycle across Christchurch - outbound prospecting, inbound qualification, savings analyses, showroom demos, and close. This isn't a lead-fulfilment role. You're building a market from scratch and helping shape how Aotea sells in the South Island. You'll be backed by our Auckland team who will support your onboarding, share their playbook, and work alongside you while giving you real autonomy. What you can expect Full cycle ownership Every stage is yours - pipeline, forecasting, CRM discipline, close. The Auckland team will be on hand as you find your feet, but you're running your own patch. A product that works for every home Solar or no solar - the Mark1 adds value either way. Its versatility is a genuine sales advantage: your addressable market is every homeowner, not just those who've already gone solar. A product that closes itself Our savings calculator turns a power bill into a personalised payback number in minutes. Get in the room and let the numbers do the work. Direct market intelligence You'll talk to more Christchurch homeowners about energy than anyone else at Aotea. We expect that to flow back to product and marketing constantly. Why it's a unique place to work First mover You're building the South Island sales function - but not from scratch and not alone. You'll have the support of a team that's already working on it in Auckland, with processes, tools, and learnings ready to transfer. Real traction Not a concept. Real customers, real savings, real proof - and now we're scaling. Mission that matters Every sale puts another Kiwi household in control of their power costs and their relationship with the grid. Things to know For better or worse (we think better), we're a startup. Christchurch is a new market - you'll have real autonomy, a strong support structure from Auckland, and the chance to shape how Aotea operates in the South Island. The role is office-based with flexibility. You'll spend time in people's homes, at trade shows, and building relationships with local solar installers and electricians. What we need You've sold grid-interactive energy products before - solar, residential batteries, or equivalent. You've carried a quota and hit it. You can explain wholesale pricing, half-hourly dispatch, and battery cycling to a homeowner in plain language. You're disciplined with your pipeline and obsessive about your CRM. Bonus points Existing Christchurch installer network Familiarity with NZ spot pricing and DERs Consultative selling for higher-ticket residential products Experience with virtual demo platforms Understanding of dispatch optimisation and time-of-use arbitrage #J-18808-Ljbffr
