Not a desk job. Not a conventional 9-to-5. An international sales career for people who want to achieve more.

The Energy Year is looking for ambitious, commercially driven individuals to join our international team and develop business across Africa, the Middle East and Latin America.

This is a genuinely international, field-based role. You should expect to spend approximately 10 months of the year working on the ground in our target energy markets, typically spending a couple of months at a time in each market. You'll build relationships, open doors and turn opportunities into business alongside our local teams.

You will negotiate advertising and sponsorship packages with CEOs and senior executives, build your own sales pipeline and contribute to international energy reports and Energy Leaders Summits.
