Business Development Executive - Renewable Energy & Demand Response Program

About Saxon Renewables

Saxon Renewables is a Singapore-headquartered climate solutions partner, supporting organisations across Asia in achieving credible decarbonisation outcomes.

We work with corporates to reduce their carbon footprint and meet renewable energy targets through Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), onsite and offsite Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs/VPPAs), carbon credits, and broader decarbonisation strategies.

As demand for renewable energy and climate solutions accelerates, we are looking for a commercially driven Business Development Executive based in Singapore to expand our corporate client portfolio.

This role sits at the intersection of sales, advisory, and deal execution, working directly with decision-makers to structure solutions that deliver measurable climate outcomes while supporting business and compliance objectives.

Your Mission

• Drive sales and close Demand Response (BESS Hosting) deals with commercial & industrial (C&I) clients, from lead generation to contract signing.
• Identify and engage potential clients through cold outreach (calls, emails, LinkedIn), events, and existing company networks.
• Clearly communicate the value proposition of BESS hosting solutions (cost savings, additional revenue, sustainability benefits) to decision-makers.
• Support proposal preparation, basic financial analysis, and coordination with internal technical teams to deliver client-ready solutions.
• Build and maintain strong client relationships to ensure smooth deal execution and identify cross-sell opportunities.
• Learn and progressively promote Saxon’s broader solutions (e.g. RECs, Solar, Carbon Credits, decarbonisation strategies) to existing clients.
• Maintain an active sales pipeline, track progress in CRM tools, and meet individual sales targets.
• Conduct basic market research to identify target industries, key accounts, and emerging opportunities in Singapore.
• Collaborate closely with senior BD team members and internal stakeholders to improve sales strategies and conversion rates.

What You’ll Gain

• Hands-on experience in closing real B2B deals in the fast-growing energy transition space, with a strong focus on Demand Response (BESS Hosting).
• A clear learning pathway from core sales execution to broader exposure in renewable energy solutions such as RECs, solar, and decarbonisation strategies.
• Direct client-facing experience with commercial & industrial (C&I) companies, building confidence in pitching, negotiation, and relationship management.
• Practical understanding of how energy solutions create financial value for clients (cost savings, new revenue streams, sustainability outcomes).
• Exposure to a dynamic and evolving market influenced by energy policies, carbon regulations, and corporate sustainability demand.
• A supportive and collaborative team environment with mentorship from experienced BD professionals.
• Strong career growth opportunities in business development, energy solutions, and sustainability advisory.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Economics, Engineering, Environmental Studies, or a related field.
• 1–3 years of experience in sales, business development, or client-facing roles (fresh graduates with strong interest are welcome).
• Strong interest in renewable energy, sustainability, or energy markets.
• Good communication and interpersonal skills, with confidence to engage clients and present ideas.
• Proactive and self-driven, with willingness to do outreach (calls, emails, LinkedIn) and build a sales pipeline.
• Willingness to learn technical and commercial aspects of energy solutions (training will be provided).
• Basic commercial awareness — able to understand value propositions, pricing, and client needs.
• Comfortable working in a target-driven environment with sales KPIs.
• Strong sense of ownership, adaptability, and eagerness to grow in a fast-paced setting.
• Proficiency in Microsoft and AI tools
