About us

Your first point of contact for our customers and a key support for our sales team.
Do you enjoy working with customers, thrive in international environments, and like varied tasks where every day brings something new?
Are you looking for a role where you can learn, gradually take on more responsibility, and grow within a close-knit team?
At meteocontrol, we help companies worldwide optimize the performance of their solar and battery storage assets.
Every day, our solutions enable our customers to generate more energy, more efficiently, and make a tangible contribution to the energy transition.
We are currently looking for someone who enjoys working with customers, values teamwork, and wants to contribute to the growth of our business in France.
You will join a four-person sales team with complementary profiles, where everyone brings their own expertise. On a daily basis, you will work closely with our Regional Sales Manager, Account Managers, Business Development team, and colleagues in Germany.
Our environment is truly international: several languages are spoken in our offices on a regular basis, and collaborating with our European teams is a natural part of everyday work.
You will also regularly work with the different teams supporting our business in France, including Technical Support, Project Management, and Engineering, as well as with our colleagues at headquarters in Germany. This close collaboration will help you develop a better understanding of our solutions and the entire value chain surrounding solar and battery storage projects.
You will receive comprehensive support from day one to help you get familiar with our tools, solutions, and ways of working.
Even if you do not meet every single requirement, we encourage you to apply. We value curiosity, motivation, and potential just as much as professional experience.

Your mission:

You will often be one of the first points of contact for our customers. Whether by phone, email, or during meetings, you will support them with their requests, guide them towards the right solutions, and help move their projects forward in collaboration with our sales and technical teams.
In short: you will directly contribute to providing a simple, seamless, and high-quality customer experience.

What You Will Do
No two days will be exactly the same, but these are some of the activities that will shape your day-to-day work:
  • Respond to our customers' initial commercial inquiries, including quotations, pricing, information requests, and follow-ups.
  • Support the sales team in preparing offers and following up on opportunities.
  • Act as a link between customers, sales teams, technical teams, and our colleagues at headquarters to ensure that every request progresses efficiently.
  • Prepare quotations and commercial documents using Salesforce and our internal tools.
  • Keep customer and opportunity information up to date in Salesforce to ensure that everyone has access to accurate information.
  • Follow up on requests received through our commercial mailboxes.
  • Participate in discussions with customers and internal teams to better understand their needs and contribute to continuously improving our customer experience.
  • Work with the team to continuously improve our ways of working and the customer experience.
Over time, you will gain increasing autonomy and gradually develop your understanding of our technical environment and solutions.

Your profile:

  • Initial experience in sales administration, sales support, customer service, or a similar role is a strong advantage.
  • Excellent communication and organizational skills.
  • A proactive, organized, reliable, and independent approach, with the ability to take initiative.
  • You enjoy teamwork and collaborating with a wide range of stakeholders.
  • You are comfortable communicating with customers, both by phone and email.
  • You are curious and quick to learn how to use new CRM and ERP systems as well as technical solutions.
Languages:
Our everyday work is international.
  • French: Fluent (essential for communicating with our French customers).
  • English: Professional working proficiency (our international teams regularly work in English).
  • German: A plus, but not essential.
We value your motivation and potential just as much as your experience.

We are looking forward to your application - Please submit the documents in English language.

You can look forward to:

We believe that the best ideas emerge in teams where everyone has the opportunity to learn, share, and grow.

With us, you will find:

  • A close-knit team where communication is simple and direct.
  • An international and multicultural environment where several languages are spoken on a daily basis.
  • Support from day one to help you feel comfortable in your new role quickly.

  • Many opportunities to learn, develop your skills, and grow professionally.
  • A meaningful role that makes a tangible contribution to the energy transition.
