Position with Authority
Confidently communicate the value proposition of our storage solutions, technically and commercially. Differentiate us clearly from competitors.
Collaborate Internally
Partner closely with internal teams—including marketing, operations, product, and executive leadership—to deliver an aligned, best-in-class customer experience.
Represent Canadian Solar
Act as the face of the company at industry events, trade fairs, and customer engagements. Build brand awareness and new business opportunities.
