Voltus is growing rapidly, and we see Sales Productivity as a critical role to capitalize on that growth. We are looking for someone to proactively partner with sales leaders and their teams to drive efficiency and productivity in both day-to-day and strategic tasks. The primary purpose of this role is to act as the leading edge of growth across the sales organization by maximizing sales team productivity at scale. We do this through innovative solutioning, best-in-class activation, strategic thought partnership, and consistent high standards of execution. This is a fully remote position that offers a high degree of autonomy.
We're looking for people who don't just execute on a project, but who define and own it independently, and who bring new ideas rather than replicate what's already been done. This team is meant to be an innovation engine for Sales, and we want people who think that way.
Sales Productivity Specialist Job Responsibilities:
- Own and coordinate BESS go-to-market readiness across Product, Energy Markets, Sales, and other teams, managing timelines and senior stakeholders to the decisions that activate the market

- Provide back-office support that removes friction for sellers, including serving as a functional owner and expert for the team in Ironclad and improving deal data quality, renewals, and process hygiene
- Partner closely with the Partnerships team and sales leaders on training content and ramp milestones for new sellers
