What you will be doing

• Iberian market presence: Act as a visible expert on Spanish and Portuguese power markets, covering market design, regulation, network access, balancing and ancillary services, and the commercial structures that follow from them. Represent Baringa in client forums, industry events and thought leadership.
• Market advisory leadership: Lead the delivery of power market and commercial advisory engagements in Iberia, including power market outlook, revenue analysis and projections for renewables and batteries, Route-to-Market advice (e.g. PPA and offtake support), and transaction advise.
• Client relationships: Build and nurture senior relationships across utilities, IPPs, developers, funds and lenders, and translate them into high-impact commercial propositions.
• Business development: Drive the growth of our client base in the region, from building brand presence through to shaping opportunities and writing winning proposals.

• Deep market expertise: A fundamental understanding of power market fundamentals, market design and regulation, with strong awareness of key players, projects and drivers globally and particularly in Iberia.
• Commercial and valuation experience: A track record advising on asset and portfolio valuation, routes to market, PPAs and offtake, and value creation across the asset life cycle for renewable, flexible and clean infrastructure assets.
• Modelling and analytics: Comfort with fundamentals-based market modelling and revenue analysis, and the ability to challenge, interpret and communicate model outputs credibly to senior audiences, and participate in internal modelling methodology working groups.
• Relationship building: Experience building trusted client relationships, operate effectively in client-facing environments and engage confidently with senior stakeholders.
• Skills and competencies: Experience in project management, coordinating multidisciplinary teams, business acumen, analytical capability, and excellence in people management and career development.
• Communication: Excellent communication skills, with the ability to provide clear recommendations on key value drivers, risks and upsides.
• Ways of working: Flexibility and the ability to manage different priorities within a fast-paced environment.
• Languages: Professional fluency in Spanish and English, with strong written and verbal communication skills in both languages.

Benefits

• Generous Annual Leave Policy: We recognise everyone needs a well-deserved break. We provide our employees with 5 weeks of annual leave, fully available at the start of each year. In addition to this, we have introduced our 5-Year Recharge benefit which allows all employees an additional 2 weeks of paid leave after 5 years continuous service.
• Flexible Working: We know that the 'ideal' work-life balance will vary from person to person and change at different stages of our working lives. To accommodate this, we have implemented a hybrid working policy and introduced more flexibility around taking unpaid leave.
• Corporate Responsibility Days: Our world is important to us, so all our employees get 3 days every year to help social and environmental causes and increase our impact on the communities that mean the most to us.
• Wellbeing Fund: We want to encourage all employees to take charge and prioritise their own wellbeing. We've introduced our annual People Fund to support this by offering every individual a fund to support and manage their wellbeing through an activity of their choice.
• Profit Share Scheme: All employees participate in the Baringa Group Profit Share Scheme so everyone has a stake in the company’s success.
