The Opportunity
As Hypervolt’s first hire in the United States, you will be the boots on the ground responsible for establishing and scaling our commercial presence from scratch. You’ll play a critical role in launching our U.S. operations — building partnerships, driving sales, and creating the foundation for sustainable growth.
This is a unique opportunity to join a proven, high-growth EV brand and shape its entry into one of the most exciting energy markets in the world.
Key Responsibilities
1. Market Development & Go-To-Market Execution
- Develop and execute Hypervolt’s U.S. market entry strategy, with an initial focus on the Bay Area and West Coast.
- Build a robust pipeline of commercial opportunities across installer networks, wholesalers, distributors, and energy companies.
- Identify and engage with key industry partners — from utilities to hardware resellers — to accelerate product distribution and awareness.
- Represent Hypervolt at industry events, trade shows, and networking forums as the face of the brand in the U.S.
2. Business Development & Sales
- Carry and exceed an individual sales quota, managing the full sales cycle from prospecting through to deal closure.
- Develop and manage relationships with wholesale distributors, installation partners, and large energy ecosystem players.
- Negotiate commercial agreements and ensure partner alignment with Hypervolt’s brand, pricing, and service standards.
- Provide market feedback to UK HQ on product, pricing, and competitive landscape.
3. Operations & Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Collaborate with the UK HQ on logistics, marketing, product localization, and customer service infrastructure.
- Provide hands-on support in early operational functions — including customer support, order fulfillment, and installation coordination — to ensure a best-in-class customer experience.
- Build out the foundational U.S. commercial and operational playbook to scale future hiring.
About You
- Proven track record in business development, sales, or partnerships within EV charging, energy, utilities, or electrical distribution.
- Strong understanding of the U.S. installer and wholesale ecosystem for energy and electrical products.
- Entrepreneurial mindset — you thrive in ambiguity, can operate independently, and enjoy building new markets from zero.
- Excellent relationship-builder with strong commercial acumen and negotiation skills.
- Experience working with or selling through trade distribution channels (installers, wholesalers, or OEMs).
- Comfortable working in a cross-functional, international environment, aligning closely with HQ support functions in the UK.
- Passionate about sustainability, clean energy, and EV technology.
What We Offer
- Opportunity to launch and lead the U.S. expansion of a top-tier UK EV brand.
- Competitive base salary with strong commission potential.
- Autonomy and influence in shaping our North American commercial strategy.
- Support and resources from the UK HQ team in marketing, product, and operations.
- A fast-paced, mission-driven culture that rewards initiative and results.
