Sales Associate (Remote)
WFA Digital Insight
Voltus isn’t a typical SaaS shop; it sits at the intersection of energy and technology, giving a Sales Associate a front‑row seat to the shift toward flexible, distributed power resources. The position is embedded in a development program that blends cold‑calling discipline with real‑world exposure to the company’s value proposition—how customers can monetize flexible loads, storage, and EV fleets. Candidates will work hand‑in‑hand with sales directors, meaning early wins translate directly into revenue for clients and a measurable impact on carbon reduction. The role also demands comfort with Salesforce and the ability to translate high‑tech concepts into clear benefits for decision‑makers, making it a hands‑on learning ground for anyone who wants to sell tech that matters.
