SANY Nigeria is seeking a high-performing Solar Sales Manager to spearhead the market entry and growth of our new solar product line in Kano and the broader Northern region.

The ideal candidate is a strategic closer who doesn't just know "how to sell," but knows how to launch. You must possess an intimate understanding of the Kano business terrain.

• Act as the primary face of SANY Solar in the North, attending trade fairs, community stakeholder meetings, and industry events.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Minimum of 8 years in technical sales, with at least 4 years specifically in the Solar/Renewable Energy industry.
• Demonstrate previous success in introducing a new product or brand to the Nigerian market (successfully scaling a brand from zero to market relevance).
• Deep, boots-on-the-ground knowledge of the Kano State business ecosystem and cultural nuances.
• Fluency in English and Hausa is mandatory.
• Ability to explain solar technicalities (inverters, Lithium-ion storage, PV efficiency) to both engineers and laypeople.
• B.Sc/HND in Engineering, Business Administration, or a related field. An MBA is an added advantage.
