Solutions Consultant

At Gradyent, we're looking for an ambitious Solutions Consultant to join our team and actively contribute to our growth. 

About Gradyent  

At Gradyent, we accelerate the energy transition by helping utilities and industries optimize their heating networks with our Digital Twin technology. More than 50% of global energy consumption goes to heating and cooling, and smarter networks are key to reducing emissions, costs, and energy losses.  

We are already partnering with leading players such as Eneco, Vattenfall, Helen, and exploring multiple other partnerships. Our team of 150+ specialists is growing fast across Europe, with hubs in the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, Poland, and Hungary.  

Your Role  

As Solution Consultant, you will establish yourself as expert in the district heating sector and own the technical track in the process of new client acquisition. Both the heating systems of our clients, their digital landscape, and our product have a high level of complexity. You will be the one that will understand all, from a deep technical and business perspective, and connect the dots between them.   

Typically, when a potential client progresses in our sales funnel, the client will need more technical expertise then the business development people can offer. The SC is the one that makes tangible how a digital twin can accelerate decarbonization and efficiency for them. The SC defines the solution, journey and ensures the digital twin will create the most value for the client. SCs are often the most qualified resource on the call, and both the seller and buyer often put a lot of trust in the SC.    

In this role you will develop both deep knowledge of district heating and digitalization, you will need the selling and questioning skills to uncover client needs, and creative, educative and presentation capabilities to fit those to our technology. You will work directly with Business development directors across Europe and be their technical counterpart, and work internally with our product (marketing) teams to ensure our offering stays up to date.
