🌍 About SmartHelio
SmartHelio is a Swiss deeptech company building AI-powered solutions for solar and storage assets.
Our platform combines physics-based models with AI to detect, analyze, and predict performance issues — helping operators reduce losses and manage assets more intelligently.
We work with clients across Europe, Africa, and beyond, shaping the next generation of AI-driven energy operations.
🚀 About the Role
We’re looking for a junior AI Business Development to drive the adoption of GAIA, our AI agent for solar and storage operations.
This is not a traditional sales role.
You’ll focus on understanding users, engaging them, and helping them see how AI fits into their daily work.
You’ll work closely with sales, product, and marketing — and play a direct role in how GAIA is introduced and adopted in the market.
🎯 What You’ll Do
- Identify and reach relevant professionals (asset managers, O&M teams, operators)
- Engage prospects via LinkedIn, email, and outbound tools
- Run early conversations to understand workflows and challenges
- Introduce GAIA through real use cases and practical discussions
- Qualify opportunities and coordinate next steps (demos, calls)
- Capture field insights and feed them back into product and marketing
- Maintain clean tracking in HubSpot
- Support webinars, campaigns, and events when needed
🧠 Your Profile
- Junior profile (0–2 years experience) or student
- Strong interest in AI, tech, or energy
- Comfortable reaching out and talking to new people
- Curious and analytical mindset
- Proactive and hands-on
- Clear and structured communication
- Fluent in English (Spanish or German is a plus)
✨ Why Join Us
- Work directly with a real AI product used in the field
- Take ownership early — real impact from day one
- Learn across sales, AI, product, and energy
- Work closely with founders and a global team
- Strong growth potential (internship → full-time)
💰 Salary (Internship): CHF 1’500-2'000/month + bonus
📈 Full-time: 3'000 - 4'000/month + potential ESOPs + commission + bonus
