Reporting to the Commercial Director – Energy & Carbon, you’ll take the lead on energy market risk and revenue strategy across a growing portfolio of high-efficiency energy-from-waste facilities (currently four operational sites, expanding to six).

• Supporting the commercial development of Carbon Capture and Storage, private wire, corporate Power Purchasing Agreements (PPAs) and other revenue-generating opportunities.
• Serving as our in-house expert on the UK energy market, with direct relationships with Ofgem, DESNZ, and other key bodies.
• Developing and implementing carbon price risk management strategy across our portfolio in preparation for inclusion into the UK ETS

Who You Are:

• A markets specialist with direct experience in power trading, market risk management, or hedging.
• Deeply knowledgeable about the UK electricity and carbon markets, with strong industry relationships.
• Experienced in front-office roles and confident making commercial calls that impact the bottom line.
• Comfortable with complexity, and capable of simplifying risk into action.
• A credible communicator with senior stakeholders and Board-level audiences.
• Skilled with tools like Refinitiv Workspace, Bloomberg, and CTRM/ETRM systems (a plus, not essential).

What You’ll Bring:

• Minimum 5 years experience in a front office power market position
• A degree (or equivalent experience) in Finance, Economics, Engineering, or similar.
• Strong analytical and commercial acumen.
• Experience with offtake contracts, corporate PPAs, and monetising energy assets.
• The drive to take ownership and work independently with minimal supervision.
• A collaborative, ethical, and proactive approach to commercial leadership.
