Founded in 2017, SYNAPSUN is an innovative French company specialized in the sourcing, engineering, and trading of photovoltaic solar modules for the B2B market.

As part of our development in Germany, we are looking for an experienced Senior Sales Manager to lead and structure our commercial expansion in the German photovoltaic market.
