Job Description - Business Development Manager

Raven Renewables is a renewable energy installer.  We install solar, battery and heat pump technologies.  Check out our website www.ravenrenewables.co.uk. We’re on a steep growth trajectory.  We work in targeted markets and our growth is focused on how we work - in partnerships. These partnerships are built on our technical expertise, how we act and our behaviour.

We’re also different from others.  Our profits don’t go to shareholders.  Our profits are gifted to our parent – Raven Housing Trust and therefore support social housing.

Until recently, much of our growth has been focused on London and the Southeast.  Our next step is to grow our geographical reach across the UK.  We need Business Development Managers to make this happen.

What you’ll achieve:

The overall purpose of this role is to develop our commercial business activities as an installer of renewable energy products such as heat pumps and EV installations, solar projects and projects which better insulate homes.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Growing the turnover rapidly to support our budgets and business plan.

  • Building our brand and positioning Raven as an important strategic partner.

  • Working in a team, supporting our project delivery teams

What you’ll bring to Raven:

As well as a commitment to the renewables sector, we’re looking for energetic, results focused and professional business development managers.  You will be a confident networker with a track record of success.

For this role, we are looking for someone with the following:

  • A strong understanding of the renewable energy market

  • A good understanding of renewable technologies and will be confident building and interrogating designs for solar, battery and/or heat pump systems.

  • You’ll be able to manage quotations, tenders, and early contracts negotiations and be experienced in the selling process.

DBS clearance will be required for this role.

Vacancy Close Date: 26th March 2025

Raven is here to make a difference, working as a team to build homes and change lives. We’re also ambitious: a sector-leader in carbon reduction, with commercial ventures and a focus on the future.
