Team: Growth (Embedded Sales & Distribution)
Reports To: Channel Manager (Embedded Sales & Distribution)
Grade Level: Lead
SunFi is leveraging its leadership experience as a Distributed Energy Provider (DEP) to build a Clean Energy FinTech platform that helps Distributed Solar Energy Providers scale their clean energy business to millions of consumers in Nigeria and eventually other parts of the world. SunFi provides Solar Energy installers and their consumers access to Solar payment plans, solution design & analysis tools, and supply chain partnerships that help catalyze the transition to clean energy.
About the Role
SunFi Distributor Agent will be responsible for the direct distribution and sales of solar systems to shop owners, ensuring they understand the product's features, benefits, and payment terms. The role involves engaging with shop owners, facilitating supplier credit documentation, closing sales, and ensuring timely payment collection. Agents will also be responsible for maintaining a proper sales record, monitoring stock turnover, and ensuring compliance with SunFi’s pricing policy.
The Agent will actively engage existing solar business owners and companies in the community, educating them on SunFi’s value proposition—not as a competitor, but as a financing partner that enables their customers to access flexible payment plans when purchasing solar systems. Additionally, the Dealer will promote SunFi’s subsidized pricing for batteries, inverters, and solar panels from OEMs, while highlighting the opportunity to earn up to a 3% rebate based on sales volume.
This role requires a proactive, business-savvy leader with strong relationship management skills, sales expertise, and the ability to drive large-scale adoption of SunFi’s solar financing solutions.
