At Big Ass Battery, we’re not just building energy storage systems—we’re reshaping the future of power. But let’s be real: the battery energy storage market is emerging and in the early growth phase, transitioning from the early adopters towards the early majority. Think of the market as a vast energy field—untapped, unstable, and still crackling with unknown currents. It’s not fully charged, but for those who know where to plug in, the returns can be electric. We need a tenacious, strategic sales pro with a very strong get sh*t done mentality—someone who doesn’t fold after a setback but pushes even harder! Do you know how to win trust in an unproven space? Then we want you on our side as we drive the energy transition— convincing one skeptical prospect at a time.

What do we expect you'll bring to Big Ass Battery?
Let's state the obvious: you have a passion for sales, cold acquisition, and gathering new business. You have experience in B2B sales, preferably with a technical product where software plays a big role. You have dealt with larger and complex sales processes with technical complexity but also concerning the big bucks. You are ambitious, open-minded, communicative, and above all, authentic! You work solution-oriented, think creatively, and are incredibly results-oriented. You are like the Michael Jordan of sales and your catch phrase should be:
“I’ve lost more deals than I’ve closed. I’ve heard ‘no’ more times than I can count. I’ve chased leads that went nowhere and followed up when others gave up. And that’s exactly why I win."
Still with us? Here’s more on what we’re looking for:
- A Bachelor’s degree (technical background earns you double points)
- Several years of experience in B2B sales, ideally with a technical product and long sales cycles
- A knack for opening doors in new or "skeptical" markets — you make your own momentum
- Relentless drive, resilience, and a mentality to win—despite headwinds because the market is continuously changing
- You perform well under pressure and you're a true team player (no elbows allowed)
- Excellent Dutch and English skills; a third language is a plus (e.g., German, French)
- You have a driver's license (Category B) and the willingness to travel (inter)nationally
- You have a great sense of humor and there is no need for a tie—bring your authentic self
