Western Australia (with national travel)

Mega-Battery Energy Storage (VFRB)
We're seeking a
proven sales-orientated CEO
with a
track record of driving major revenue growth
, capable of building a high-performance team and leading a start-up into rapid national expansion. You must combine
strong commercial instincts
,
strategic leadership
, and the ability to convert big opportunities into major contracts across mining, utilities, and industry. This is a rare chance to shape a new force in Australia's energy-storage sector.

clear track record of winning major contracts and driving rapid revenue growth
. You must be able to build a high-performance team, scale a start-up quickly, and convert large opportunities across mining, utilities and industry.

Full technical documentation will support you, but familiarity with the industry is a strong plus.
Enerflow Vanadium Batteries Australia Pty Ltd, the exclusive Australian & New Zealand distributor for one of China's most advanced vanadium redox flow battery manufacturers, is seeking a
dynamic, commercially-driven Chief Executive Officer

strong sales leadership
,

not

executive commercial capability is the priority
.
