Head of Commercial Renewable Sales in Huddersfield, Yorkshire

Location: National, nationwide travel will be required.

Are you a commercially driven leader with a proven track record of winning and scaling renewable energy opportunities? Do you thrive on building high-performing pipelines, securing major commercial partnerships, and driving long-term growth across the renewables market? If you excel in spotting opportunities, building relationships, and helping grow a commercial function, this could be the role for you.

Here at Utilita, following continued growth and success, we are looking for an ambitious Head of Commercial to lead and accelerate growth across our renewables space. This is a newly created, business-critical role where you’ll take ownership of commercial strategy, major opportunities, and market growth across solar PV, battery storage, and integrated energy solutions. You’ll play a key role in shaping our commercial offering, identifying new revenue streams, and helping position Utilita as a leading force within the renewable energy space.

With commercial projects already delivering significant customer savings and over 2,000 panels installed, we are entering an exciting acceleration phase and looking for someone who wants to make a genuine impact as we scale.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for developing and leading the commercial sales strategy across the renewables market, driving high-value opportunities from initial engagement through to conversion. Using your market insight and commercial expertise, you’ll identify growth opportunities, build strategic partnerships, and strengthen Utilita’s position within a competitive landscape. A key focus will be on winning and developing major commercial opportunities across larger organisations. You’ll take ownership of the sales pipeline and help shape the future direction of the renewables offering through market insight, product input, and go-to-market strategy. As the team continues to grow, this role will also play a key part in building and leading a commercial sales function, with the future opportunity to mentor and manage SDRs and wider commercial team members.

What We’re Looking For

We’re open to candidates from a range of commercial, business development, or renewable energy backgrounds who can bring strong leadership, strategic thinking, and proven experience driving growth. Experience within solar, renewables, energy, utilities, or related commercial sectors would be highly beneficial. You’ll be commercially aware, proactive, and confident building long-term relationships with senior stakeholders and decision-makers. Whether your experience comes from scaling sales functions, leading commercial strategies, building partnerships, or developing high-performing pipelines, we’re looking for someone who can spot opportunities and turn them into results. Crucially, you won’t wait for opportunities; you’ll create them!
