Job Summary:

Wetility is a purpose-driven energy technology company pioneering clean energy independence through solar, storage, and smart finance. Our platform empowers customers with intelligent control, clean energy, and flexible ownership changing how homes and businesses experience energy in South Africa.

Wetility is building a diverse distribution ecosystem that spans direct-to-consumer sales, referral programs, installers, brokers, corporate collaborations, telco B2B2C models, and partnerships with financial and retail institutions.

To strengthen this ecosystem and capture market opportunities, we are creating the role of Distribution & Partnerships Manager, a commercial leader who can manage and scale our multi-channel go-to-market approach.

Role Overview:

The Distribution & Partnerships Manager will be responsible for optimising Wetility's current distribution channels, preparing new ones for scale, and cultivating partnerships that expand our market reach.

This role requires a blend of commercial acumen, operational excellence, and relationship management. The successful candidate will not only manage execution but also think strategically about how distribution and partnerships can drive Wetility's growth in a competitive renewable energy and technology market.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Channel Management

• Own and manage performance across all current channels: direct sales, referrals, installers, brokers, and strategic corporate/NGO partners.
• Develop channel-specific strategies (residential, SME/spaza, corporate) to drive volume, conversion, and retention.
• Build robust reporting frameworks to measure pipeline, conversion rates, revenue contribution, and ROI by channel.
• Ensure accuracy and timeliness in referral and broker incentive payouts, with clear audit trails.
• Monitor compliance with brand guidelines, pricing policies, and SLAs across the ecosystem.
• Drive partner enablement initiatives to improve productivity.
• Use insights from CRM and analytics platforms to identify bottlenecks and improve partner performance.
• Establish regular business reviews with key channel partners to align on goals, performance, and improvement actions.

2. Channel Readiness

• Lead the design, testing, and launch of new distribution channels, including telco B2B2C, financial institutions, developers, and retail collaborations.
• Conduct end-to-end readiness checks: systems integration contract structures, billing reconciliation, and SLA compliance.
• Build standardised onboarding playbooks and training content by segment (residential, SME, corporate), ensuring new partners can sell and support Wetility effectively.
• Pilot and refine referral schemes, broker models, and revenue-sharing structures to ensure sustainability and scalability.
• Collaborate with Product and Operations teams to embed distribution requirements into Wetility's offering.
• Establish a channel certification framework to maintain quality standards at scale.
• Drive alignment between Sales, Finance, Legal, and Operations to ensure smooth handovers from pilot to full rollout.

3. Partnerships & Broker Management – grow strategic collaborations

• Identify, negotiate, and manage strategic partnerships with telcos, retailers, banks, developers, and NGOs to expand Wetility's customer reach.
• Build and maintain a trusted network of brokers, installers, and influencers who act as Wetility's extended salesforce.
• Develop a broker relationship management program: tiering, incentives, performance dashboards, and recognition.
• Work with corporate and institutional partners to co-design innovative go-to-market models, including financing packages, bundled services, and retail promotions.
• Represent Wetility in industry forums, partner councils, and regulatory engagements, positioning the company as a credible market leader.
• Track and report on the business impact of partnerships (pipeline contribution, cost of acquisition, brand reach).
• Proactively scan the market for new collaboration opportunities, ensuring Wetility stays ahead of competitors.

4. Market & Competitive Intelligence

• Stay up to date on competitor distribution models and benchmark Wetility's approach.
• Provide insights into market trends.
• Identify regulatory or industry changes that may impact channel strategy or partner structures.
• Advise leadership on emerging opportunities and risks in the distribution landscape.

5. Team Leadership & Development

• Lead, mentor, and grow a small team of analysts and interns (commerce and engineering backgrounds).
• Build the team's analytical, operational, and partner engagement capability.
• Establish clear KPIs and career development pathways for team members.
• Promote a culture of accountability, problem-solving, and continuous improvement.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Commerce, Business, Engineering, or related field (MBA advantageous).
• 6–10 years' experience in distribution, channel management, or partnerships within renewable energy, telecoms, financial services, or technology sectors.
• Demonstrated success in multi-channel sales models and partner ecosystems.
• Strong commercial and operational track record: incentive design, contract management, compliance oversight, and CRM/reporting integration.
• Proven ability to negotiate and manage strategic partnerships.
• Strong grasp of emerging energy transition trends, distributed generation models, and customer adoption patterns.
