Senior Sales Manager DACH (m/f/d) in climate tech startup

Intro Your role Your qualifications Benefits exnaton is a climate tech startup, spun out of ETH Zurich, which provides an AI-powered intelligence platform for new energy, enabling utilities to rapidly design, test, and scale smart, data-driven energy products - from energy sharing and dynamic tariffs to EV smart charging and flexible billing models. Our technology extends existing utility infrastructure with flexible, future-ready solutions, helping energy providers unlock new value from decentralized, digital energy - efficiently without large migrations and at scale. We are a Switzerland-based start-up, and our vision is to lead the digital transformation of the energy sector worldwide, by empowering utilities and consumers to shape a flexible, transparent, and sustainable energy future. Our team is growing and we are looking for passionate and talented people to complement our team. We are a diverse team, all driven by the shared goal of using technology to create a sustainable impact in our society. If you’re enthusiastic about contributing to this exciting journey, we invite you to be a part of our innovative and motivated team. The job can be performed remotely in EU countries, but for this specific role, travelling up to 20% to DACH-based customers would be required. About us exnaton is the intelligence platform for new energy – software purpose-built for utilities and energy providers navigating the energy transition. Founded in 2020 as an ETH Zürich spin-off, we enable utilities and energy suppliers to launch and scale next-generation energy products – from dynamic tariffs and energy communities to smart EV charging, prosumer offerings, and local flexibility services – without replacing their existing ERP or billing systems. Our platform gives utilities the tools to let their customers track energy consumption, share locally generated renewable energy, and participate in the energy transition in a meaningful way, turning individual climate action from an aspiration into an everyday reality. Today, more than 50 utilities and energy companies use exnaton to bring innovative energy products to market faster. Our fast-growing team combines expertise in energy, software engineering, product development, and business innovation. We work remotely across multiple countries, with hubs in Zurich, Barcelona, Berlin, Vienna, and beyond. We believe the energy transition requires entirely new digital infrastructure and customer experiences. As energy systems become increasingly decentralized, dynamic, and flexible, utilities need intelligent software to manage complexity and unlock new business models. Our mission is to make the energy transition executable – and to become Europe’s leading software platform for the new energy world. If you want to help shape the future of energy together with us, we’d love to hear from you. How we use AI in hiring Hiring at exnaton stays personal - a real person on our team reviews every application. We do use AI to help us assess and summarize interview feedback, so our team can work more efficiently and stay focused on giving everyone a fair look. All final hiring decisions are made by people, using their judgment and experience to decide who joins the team. Our Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion At exnaton, we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute. We strongly encourage applications from people traditionally underrepresented in tech and consider all candidates equally — regardless of gender identity, age, ethnicity, ancestry, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, citizenship, or marital status. We believe diverse perspectives make us better — and we'd love for yours to be part of the team.
