Business Development Manager, Market Expansion, Energy Storage

Tesla’s Business Development team is a global team that works to analyze markets, shape emerging business models, and advise industrial energy business strategy.

Today’s energy storage market is growing rapidly, but not as fast as it could be. Many hurdles and barriers remain: outdated interconnection and permitting processes, lack of understanding of storage performance and cost, imperfect financing solutions, and more. Tesla wants to knock down these barriers to open an even larger wave of storage deployments.

The ideal candidate will be an entrepreneur and business developer, someone who can quickly understand a problem, identify a solution, then draw on resources from across Tesla’s policy, product, sales, and engineering teams to implement it. 

This will also require a capable storyteller who is comfortable interfacing with executive teams from utilities, regulators, and developers, understanding their pain points, and tying it all together in a narrative that motivates change.

Tesla’s mission is to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy. This role will make that happen.

Please note: this role is open to applicants based in either Sydney or Melbourne. 

• Knock down any barriers to storage adoption
• Identification – work closely with sales and build relationships with customers, utilities, and regulators to understand biggest pain points on the road to 100% renewable energy
• Solution design - work closely with product, engineering, and policy teams to design solutions, from new financing strategies, to policy proposals, to new tools and resources
• Advocacy - convince key industry stakeholders (e.g. utilities, ISOs, policymakers, financers) to adopt Tesla’s view of the future
• Develop and execute a comprehensive market expansion strategy for industrial energy storage solutions across APAC. Identify key market and prioritize entry based on market potential and regulatory environment
