Rebate & Incentive Sales Manager

Energy5 specializes in end-to-end EV charging infrastructure solutions, from strategic planning and engineering to construction, deployment, and long-term operations. We go beyond charger installation to deliver reliable, scalable, and high-performance infrastructure designed to maximize long-term ROI and support the evolving needs of our clients.

The Rebate & Incentive Sales Manager is responsible for generating new revenue by identifying commercial customers, partners, and project owners that can benefit from Energy5’s rebate, grant, utility incentive, and funding-management capabilities. This is a dedicated sales role. The individual will prospect, develop, qualify, and close opportunities where incentives can materially improve project economics or where customers need support identifying, securing, and managing available funding. The role will work closely with Energy5’s Funding, Sales, Partnerships, Estimating, and Operations teams, but its primary responsibility is business development and revenue generation. The successful candidate must be able to translate complex incentive programs into simple commercial value for customers. Rather than simply explaining that a rebate exists, this person must be able to identify who should pursue it, why it matters financially, what actions are required, and how Energy5 can help manage the process. This role supports both standalone rebate-management opportunities and broader turnkey infrastructure projects where incentives create the entry point for Energy5 to develop a larger customer relationship.
