Business Development Manager – Renewable Energy

Development Manager to support the market entry and commercial growth of Hungarian

companies operating in the renewable energy and clean technology sectors.

thrives on building new markets and developing long-term commercial relationships. You will be

responsible for identifying business opportunities, establishing strategic partnerships, and

representing a portfolio of innovative manufacturers within Canada's renewable energy industry.

opportunities from the ground up. We are looking for someone with a proven track record of

opening doors, building relationships with decision-makers, and successfully managing complex

B2B sales cycles.

and clean technology solutions.

● Manage the complete business development process, from prospecting through

negotiations and implementation.

● Conduct client meetings, presentations, and technical discussions.

● Represent HEPA and partner companies at conferences, trade shows, and networking

events.

● Monitor market trends, funding opportunities, and competitor activity.

● Work closely with international manufacturers to support successful market entry and

long-term business growth.

Qualifications

● Proven experience in B2B business development or sales within renewable energy,

clean technology, electrical infrastructure, or related industries.

● Demonstrated success in developing new business and managing complex sales

opportunities.

● Existing network within the Canadian energy sector is a strong asset.

● Ability to work independently with minimal supervision while managing multiple priorities.

● Strong negotiation, communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills.

● Entrepreneurial mindset with a strong sense of ownership and accountability.

● Ability to understand and communicate technical products and solutions.

● Valid driver's license and willingness to travel throughout Canada and occasionally

internationally.

● Fluency in English is required. Knowledge of Hungarian is considered an asset.

What We Offer

● Opportunity to represent innovative European renewable energy and clean technology

manufacturers entering the Canadian market.

● A senior role with significant autonomy and responsibility.

● Competitive compensation with performance-based incentives.

● International exposure through trade missions, conferences, and collaboration with

manufacturers.

● Opportunity to play a key role in expanding Canadian–Hungarian business relationships.
