Remote Business Development Freelancer in UK in Doncaster

Your role as a freelance Sales Manager involves helping exnaton open and grow in the UK on a flexible, independent basis. You will support us in the following areas:

• Identifying and reaching out to potential customers in your target market, introducing them to exnaton's product.
• Owning key parts of the sales cycle, from initial outreach through to deal closure, depending on the scope agreed together.
• Leveraging your existing relationships and market knowledge to open doors and accelerate conversations.
• Representing exnaton in an authentic, credible way to prospective customers and partners in your market.
• Sharing market insights and feedback with our core Sales and Product teams.
• Collaborating remotely with our Sales, Product, and Marketing teams to align on messaging, pricing, and proposals.

This is an independent contractor/freelance engagement, not a permanent employee position. This role is suitable for an experienced energy-sales professional who wants to represent exnaton in the United Kingdom on a flexible basis. We are looking for someone who can support us one day per week.

Your qualifications include:

• Proven experience of 5+ years in B2B sales or business development within the energy industry — this is a hard requirement.
• Open to a base salary in combination with variable compensation.
• Established network and credibility in the UK.
• Comfortable working independently and managing their own time and priorities.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• Fluent in English.
• Entrepreneurial mindset and comfortable representing a company in its growth trajectory.

At exnaton, you'll be part of a small and driven team doing genuinely important work - building the technology that's helping reshape how energy is produced and consumed. Benefits include:

• A competitive salary and equity package.
• Flexible working hours and a remote-first way of working.
• A virtual office designed for meaningful collaboration across different locations.
• Perks that support the whole you, from a sports membership or Headspace subscription to a dedicated Mental Health Day, and a holiday that grows with your tenure.
• Invest in your growth: a personal learning budget and bi-weekly learning focus time, protected in your calendar.
• Two team retreats a year, when we come together in person to work and have fun.
• Work that matters - exciting technology, a mission you can get behind, and teammates who genuinely care about both.
