• Structure innovative commercial solutions that meet customer sustainability objectives while delivering strong value for ENGIE.
• Collaborate across Trading, Risk, Legal, Finance and Supply teams to deliver commercially robust and compliant agreements.

• Mentor sales team members and contribute to the development of market-leading renewable energy products.

What You Will Bring To The Role

• Proven experience in renewable energy origination, energy supply sales or structured energy transactions.
• Strong knowledge of Corporate PPA structures, UK electricity markets and renewable mechanisms such as REGOs, CfDs and ROCs.
• Demonstrated ability to negotiate and close complex, long-term commercial contracts.

• Strong financial modelling skills and the ability to assess commercial risk with confidence.
• Excellent communication and influencing skills, with the ability to engage procurement, finance and executive-level stakeholders.
• A degree in a relevant discipline, or equivalent professional experience, is preferred.

We know that potential talent comes from many different backgrounds. If you're excited about helping customers deliver their decarbonisation ambitions and believe you can add value to our team, we'd love to hear from you, even if your experience does not match every requirement listed.
