Join a growing, agile commercial team in our Düsseldorf / Frankfurt Office, where you help shape how we combine key account activities and wholesale origination on the German power and gas market. Rather than stepping into a fixed, pre-defined function, you will build your own focus within this spectrum — from relationship-driven client management to structured deal origination — based on your strengths and interests. You'll work close to decision-makers with short paths and you will have direct ownership over translating client needs into both standard and structured energy supply solutions.
