Skyfri Technologies AS is a global and fast-growing clean technology company backed by strong investors, based in Oslo. Our vision is to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy globally, powered by cutting-edge software as the engine to achieve that goal.
Solar energy and storage are essential in the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, especially as distributed energy production becomes the “new normal” for industries and corporations reliant on stable power to deliver their products and services. Financial asset owners invest in rooftop solar production and battery energy storage systems (BESS) as an alternative way of deploying capital and making long-term economic returns that benefit property owners, tenants, and the wider energy system.
Skyfri targets all these market segments and aims to become a trusted partner for all asset owners to monitor, control, and drive new revenue opportunities in the energy system of the future.
To accelerate our growth and bring value to our clients, we’re looking for a VP of Customer Success to have a broad range of responsibilities across our client portfolio, with upselling existing clients and developing custom solutions for new clients. As a fast-growing young company, we seek adaptable problem solvers who can take on a large responsibility. Here, you can quickly get the opportunity to work on strategic business development or other topics related to your interests and competencies.
What we offer our clients
Skyfri’s mission is to support industries and commercial asset owners with distributed renewable energy sources by helping them effectively manage their portfolios, maximize asset performance, and unlock new revenue streams. We achieve this through advanced solutions in technical aggregation, energy management optimization, virtual power plants, and ancillary services. Our strategy is to act as the orchestrator of local energy assets, coordinating and controlling large portfolios to help clients access and participate in future energy markets.

Consulting Services: Expert guidance to meet our clients' needs from start to finish.
Due to strong market demand, we are now seeking a new VP of Customer Success to further develop our clients, understand their needs, and contribute to the continued development of our sales function.
