(Senior) Heartbeat AI Partnerships Manager (m/f/d)

1KOMMA5°

At 1KOMMA5°, we pursue a clear vision: Living on wind and sunlight forever for free. To make this a reality, we are building the energy system of the future with Heartbeat AI. Want to be part of it?

We bring together regional craftsmanship and scalable software: We don't think of solar, batteries, heat pumps, and e-mobility as isolated components, but control them as an intelligent, integrated overall system in our virtual power plant. Directly connected to the electricity market – in real time, fully automated. This way, energy is used when it is available from renewables and particularly cost-effective. By 2030, our goal is to transition 1.5 million households to renewable energies. Over 3,000 people are working towards this every day, at more than 80 locations worldwide, from Finland to Australia.

Want to take responsibility and build solutions that truly matter? Apply now and help us shape the energy world of tomorrow.

Deine Position

As part of the Heartbeat Tech domain, you will own our partnerships with hardware manufacturers that connect to Heartbeat AI. You're the person who finds and excites new partners about Heartbeat AI, then negotiates the resulting agreements, and finally makes sure the integration actually gets delivered. But it doesn’t stop there: You will own the relationship long-term and ensure it turns in a true win-win situation.

Key responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Partnership Sales: Identify and pitch the Heartbeat AI vision to selected hardware manufacturers, get them onboard our vision and carry conversations from first contact through to signed partnership.
• Contract Management: Lead commercial and legal negotiations for all contractual elements to ensure a solid partnership basis with terms that work for both sides.
• Project Management: Coordinate the technical integration to delivery — sequencing work with our development teams, tracking milestones, and unblocking issues on both sides.
• Relationship Management: Own the day-to-day relationship with each partner post go-live — be their primary point of contact, manage escalations, and keep the partnership healthy and growing.
• Portfolio Ownership: Maintain an overview of all Heartbeat AI partnerships, their contractual status, technical maturity and roadmap, and report on the health of the partner portfolio to leadership. In addition identify gaps and pursue opportunites to build the strongest partnership portfolio in the market.
