Global Pre-Sales Lead

Location: London/Bristol - Hybrid

Team: Commercial

Reporting To: Head of Pre-Sales

Responsibilities

We're looking for someone who's lived inside the machinery of an energy retailer. Billing runs, meter data, settlement cycles, the lot. Someone who wants to use that hard-won knowledge to help the world's largest energy companies replace their legacy platforms with something better.

Lead technical discovery with prospective and existing clients, understanding their current solution landscape, pain points, regulatory constraints, and target outcomes
Design tailored solutions that map client needs to Kaluza's platform capabilities, with a clear eye on implementation feasibility
Drive the technical narrative in RFP responses and proposals. Not filling in templates, but crafting compelling, credible answers
Negotiate scope as part of commercial discussions, balancing client ambition with deliverability
Support and advise our demo engineering function to ensure we build compelling experiences that bring the platform to life
Act as the connective tissue between what the market needs and what we build, translating client conversations into product insight

Requirements

You've worked inside B2C retail environments, or close enough to have scars. You understand complex, high volume billing systems, whether in energy, telecoms, financial services, or subscription-based businesses.
You've operated in complex enterprise sales, pre-sales, consulting, or solution architecture. You've been part of deals where the sales cycle is long, the stakeholder map is wide, and the technical evaluation is rigorous.
You can translate technical complexity into clear, compelling narratives, whether you're whiteboarding with engineers or presenting a business case to a CFO.
You're analytical and customer-obsessed. You reach for data before opinions and you measure what matters.

Nice to Have

Direct experience selling or implementing SaaS platforms in the energy sector
Hands-on experience architecting large-scale software solutions
You've worked at or with a retailer operating at scale (millions of accounts)
You've built something from scratch before. A function, a practice, a playbook. And you enjoyed the ambiguity that comes with it.

We Offer

Pension Scheme
Discretionary Bonus Scheme
Private Medical Insurance + Virtual GP
Life Assurance
Access to Furthr - a Climate Action app
Free Mortgage Advice and Eye Tests
Perks at Work - access to thousands of retail discounts
5% Flex Fund to spend on the benefits you want most
