ABOUT KOPERNIK

Kopernik is an exciting, fast-growing, cutting-edge organisation tackling technology distribution challenges in Indonesia. Our team works tirelessly to put the last mile first.

THE POSITION

The role will work on a pilot project which is part of the Indonesian Clean Stove Initiative which aims to make cleaner cooking options available to Indonesian families through a network of Tech Agents.

• Develop a sales and marketing strategy.
• Provide training on product knowledge, record keeping and financial skills to sales agents.
• Work with Kopernik and its partners on developing and implementing a marketing campaign to increase stove sales.
• Develop and agree on sales targets with each Tech agent and support them to meet these targets.
• Ensure receipts are being fully completed and collected.
• Collect, analyse and report data on sales and targets.
• Actively identify new markets and potential new customers for Tech agents and assist them to pursue these opportunities.
• Facilitate market development activities and events to raise consumer awareness of the clean cookstoves.

REQUIREMENTS

• Degree in a relevant discipline. 
• Excellent communication skills in English and Indonesian.
• Background in sales and marketing.
• Direct work experience with small businesses in Indonesia with a focus on marketing and distribution.  
• Prior experience in marketing or distribution of clean energy technologies preferred.
• Experience in organising and delivering business and sales trainings and other promotional activities.
• Experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds.
• Impact and data focused.
• Strong teamwork and motivational skills and ability to build rapport with small business owners.
• A can-do and collaborative mind set – comfortable with the ambiguities and demands of a rapidly evolving work environment.
• Excellent organisational skills.
• High energy levels.
• A commitment to Kopernik’s values and reaching underserved communities.
• Willingness to travel, a lot.
