About Tyba

Tyba is a modeling platform for energy companies developing, financing, and operating renewable energy infrastructure. Energy companies rely on technical models daily to make crucial infrastructure decisions.

Our mission is to make cutting-edge models accessible to cross-functional teams so that companies can build and operate more renewable energy more profitably. We are backed by leading climate and generalist VCs and work with many of the industry’s most innovative energy companies.

The role

As Director of Sales, you will lead Tyba’s commercial growth—owning the full customer acquisition strategy, from pipeline generation to deal close and account expansion. You’ll partner closely with our founders, Product, and Marketing to define and execute our go-to-market motion in a fast-growing sector that’s being redefined by software.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role for a strategic builder who thrives on creating structure from the ground up. You’ll set the foundation for our sales organization—defining processes, tools, metrics, and team structure—as we scale.

This is an exciting opportunity to join early and help shape the voice, messaging, and GTM strategy of a company building critical software for the clean energy transition.
