Looking for a place where you can grow, make a real impact, and be part of an incredible team? At Renewable Exchange, we're a small passionate team with a culture that values people as much as performance. We thrive on collaboration, celebrate diversity, and embrace new opportunities. We’re dedicated to creating a positive, supportive environment where every team member has the opportunity to shine, innovate, and directly contribute to the company’s success.

You won’t just be another cog in the machine—you’ll be part of a mission‑driven team committed to making the renewable energy sector more transparent, efficient, and accessible. We believe in the power of teamwork, and together, we’re driving the transition to net‑zero, making a lasting impact on both our industry and the environment.

Our flagship online power purchase agreement (PPA) platform is revolutionising the renewable energy market in the UK and in Germany.

As a Business Development Manager, you’ll be a key player in our UK sales team, responsible for expanding our client base into enterprise level accounts. Building out relationships, earning trust and delivering real value to our clients.

If you’re ready to be part of a team that values your input, offers room for growth, and is on the cutting edge of the renewable energy revolution— we are the place for you!

What you’ll be doing at Renewable Exchange

• Understand your prospects, build out the internal network of stakeholders and earn trust through sharing insights and using our internal team of experts. You'll be working with owners of renewable energy projects (such as investment funds, asset managers and developers) to support them in finding the best route to market for them.
• Take full ownership of your business development pipeline, delivering value to clients through a relationship‑focused sales process.
• Develop or build upon an in‑depth understanding of the UK power market and use this expertise to deliver value to our clients.
• Build strong, genuine client relationships through phone, in‑person meetings and networking at industry events. Everything we do is focused on a win‑win.
• Be curious! Find innovative ways of adding value to our clients through consultancy, reporting and optimisation services.

Requirements

• Relationship focused with strong commercial acumen, able to deliver outstanding results for clients and exceed sales targets.
• Be able to demonstrate the ability to win enterprise level accounts— not necessarily quickly, but thoroughly where you've created a long‑term, valuable relationship for both parties.
• 2+ years of business development experience with a proven track record.
• You don't have to have direct experience in the energy industry, but if you do or you've specifically worked with power purchase agreements we'd like to hear from you.
• An excellent communicator through phone, video calls, email and in‑person meetings, with experience of pitching to company directors and above.
• Motivated and driven to deliver the best service possible to our clients and develop long‑term relationships.
• Confident with presenting complex data sets to deliver high‑level insights and analytics to key clients.
• Based in Bristol or can conveniently commute in 4 days a week.
• Passionate about sustainability and accelerating the journey to net‑zero.
