• Negotiate and finalise contracts that balance commercial performance with long‑term partnership value.
• Provide commercial input into bids, frameworks, and tender submissions.
• Oversee post‑financing contract performance, ensuring ongoing compliance and value delivery.
• Monitor market and regulatory developments, contributing insight to help shape new propositions and products.

The ideal candidate will be a commercially focused professional with strong experience in public sector procurement and a solid understanding of the renewables and energy transition landscape. They will be confident managing complex transactions, negotiating effectively, and working collaboratively with a range of stakeholders.

Essential Skills and Experience

• Proven knowledge of public sector procurement processes, ideally within social housing, local authority, or education settings.
• Experience in renewables, energy transition, infrastructure, investment, or asset finance.
• Demonstrable ability to structure and negotiate complex commercial arrangements.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with attention to detail.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication abilities.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
• Full UK driving licence required.

This is a home-based position with regular travel across the UK for client meetings and team collaboration. The successful candidate will join a forward‑thinking organisation that combines commercial innovation with a clear environmental mission.
