Sales Manager, New Business | Digital Services
Drive new business in renewable energy at Opoura. Open new customer relationships, shape tailored digital solutions, and turn customer needs into commercial growth.
About the job
Do you want to build new business in renewable energy and help grow Opoura’s Digital Services business?
At Opoura, we combine deep expertise in renewable energy with digital and technical solutions that help customers manage and optimize complex energy assets and infrastructure. We have an established position in the market and see clear potential to expand our Digital Services business with new customers in Denmark and nearby markets.
We are looking for a Sales Manager to help turn that potential into commercial growth.
How you impact
As Sales Manager, you will play a central role in expanding our customer base and strengthening the commercial position of Digital Services.
Your primary focus will be new business. Around 70% of the role is about identifying relevant customers, opening new relationships, building qualified pipeline, and converting opportunities into business. The remaining 30% will focus on developing selected existing customers and identifying new opportunities within these accounts.
You will report to Thomas Boll Matthiesen, Senior Sales Executive, and be part of a small Digital Services sales team together with Thomas and one other Sales Manager. The team works closely with colleagues across delivery, technology, and the wider Opoura sales organization in Denmark, Europe, and the US.
Our Digital Services solutions are often shaped around the customer’s specific needs rather than sold as standard products. You will therefore go beyond presenting solutions. You will work to understand the customer’s business, operational challenges, and ambitions, identify where Opoura can create value, and turn those insights into relevant commercial opportunities.
You will own the commercial process while working closely with Solution Engineering, Technology, and other specialists to shape the right solution. This gives you a high degree of autonomy in developing your market, backed by strong technical expertise when customer needs and sales processes become more complex.
Your main responsibilities
Build and convert a strong pipeline of qualified new business opportunities
Identify, approach and win new customers in Denmark and nearby markets
Understand customer needs and business challenges and translate them into relevant value propositions and commercial opportunities
Drive consultative sales processes from first dialogue through solution development, negotiation and commercial agreement
Develop selected existing customers by identifying new stakeholders, buying centres and unmet needs
Work closely with Solution Engineering, Technology, Marketing and Customer Onboarding to shape strong solutions and ensure effective handover
Maintain a structured approach to CRM, pipeline management, forecasting and follow-up
To be successful in this position, you
You are motivated by creating new business and commercial momentum rather than managing an established portfolio. You take ownership of your market, are curious about your customers and know that the best sales opportunities often start with understanding a challenge before defining the solution.
You:
Are energized by opening doors and building new customer relationships
Know how to uncover customer needs and build a compelling value proposition rather than relying on standard product selling
Build trust and credibility with both commercial and technical stakeholders
Can connect technical possibilities with the customer’s commercial and operational priorities
Stay persistent and proactive throughout longer and more complex sales cycles
Combine commercial drive with a structured approach to pipeline, follow-up and forecasting
Your background
We imagine that you bring:
5+ years of B2B sales experience with demonstrated results in new business and pipeline creation
Experience owning sales opportunities from initial outreach through to closed business
Experience selling technical, software, technology or other solution-oriented B2B offerings
Experience navigating sales processes involving multiple commercial and technical stakeholders
Fluency in English and at least one Nordic language
Experience from renewable energy, energy technology, industrial automation, control systems, engineering or related industries is an advantage, but not a requirement.
A relevant educational background within business, engineering or a related field is beneficial, but your commercial track record and ability to create results matter more than a specific degree.
The role involves travel primarily in Denmark and nearby markets, depending on customer activities and relevant industry events.
What we offer
Joining us means:
Real commercial ownership in a business with clear potential to grow
The opportunity to build new customer relationships and influence where and how we develop the market
Strong technical expertise around you when navigating complex customer needs and sales processes
An international and collaborative environment where commercial, technical and industry expertise come together
Competitive compensation with a performance-based bonus reflecting the commercial responsibility of the role
Flexibility that supports a sustainable work-life balance
