<h3>About Relectrify </h3>At Relectrify, we are engineering the future of battery energy storage.  We are on a mission to reduce the cost of renewable energy for everyone by building battery energy storage systems (BESS) from the cell up to make every kWh count.  Our patented CellSwitch® platform can independently optimise the usage of every battery cell, delivering more energy each time a BESS is cycled while significantly extending BESS lifetime relative to conventional battery systems.   Our new AC1 BESS does things no other BESS can do, such as generating grid-compliant AC power directly from the battery cells without the need for a separate inverter.  By neutralising fundamental weaknesses in today’s conventional BESS architecture, the AC1 delivers enhanced safety, reliability and investment returns for BESS owners.   Backed by global investors, we are headquartered in Melbourne.  With the launch of the AC1 BESS, we have big plans for the Australian market, and we are building the team to make them happen. Across the organisation, we embrace diverse experiences to fuel our collective success, ensuring everyone can do their best work.  Our core values fuel and motivate us: <ul><li> Prioritise what matters most.  We only work with a small, clear set of objectives in mind.  </li></ul><ul><li> Think critically.  We base our decisions on informed, open-minded evaluations. </li></ul><ul><li> Be decisive.  We prioritise action and continuously move forward, adapting as we go. </li></ul><ul><li> Quality and elegance in everything.  We always put in the effort necessary to distil complexity into the simplest forms possible.  </li></ul><ul><li> Collaborate or fail.  We recognise that partnerships are essential to our success. </li></ul><ul><li> Get jobs done.  We aren’t content until we’ve achieved the target outcome. </li></ul>If you want to challenge yourself while advancing the renewable energy transition, come join us.<h3>About the Role </h3>Team background This is a newly created position responsible for driving our business development (strategy and execution) in the Australian market.

We need a leader who can define, refine and execute our overall go-to-market playbook for success in both the commercial and industrial (C&amp;I) and the small front-of-meter (FTM) battery energy storage markets.   We define success as a steady march towards BESS market share leadership, leveraging our patented technology and the unique advantages that come with being an Australian company.   Our target candidate will have proven success in a similar business development role, with demonstrated experience in building strategic relationships, developing complex projects, and consistently getting the job done in a competitive market.
