Job description

Senior Manager – Low Carbon Infrastructure Strategy & Transactions

About Baringa:

We set out to build the world’s most trusted consulting firm – creating lasting impact for clients and pioneering a positive, people‑first way of working. We work with everyone from FTSE 100 names to bright new start-ups, in every sector.

You’ll find us collaborating shoulder‑to‑shoulder with our clients, from the big picture right down to the detail: helping them define their strategy, deliver complex change, spot the right commercial opportunities, manage risk, or bring their purpose and sustainability goals to life. Our clients love how we get to know what makes their organisations tick – slotting seamlessly into their teams and being proudly geeky about solving their challenges.

We have hubs in Europe, the US, Asia and Australia, and we work all around the world - from a wind farm in Wyoming to a boardroom in Berlin. Find us wherever there's a challenge to be tackled and an impact to be made.

What you will be doing

You will be joining our dynamic and growing Strategy & Transactions practice. We work with a range of clients, including energy companies, independent developers and infrastructure funds, to help them identify and execute value creation opportunities in relation to renewable and low carbon infrastructure portfolios.

Baringa is differentiated through its ability to leverage our fundamental understanding of market, technical, commercial and regulatory drivers of value and risk to help clients optimisze the value of infrastructure investments across the entire project lifecycle. We do this by running blended teams of strategy &/ transaction experts with sector specialists, bringing hands‑on expertise from across Baringa to our clients.

Your typical projects will include:

• Supporting investors with their investment strategies by advising on how best to optimize their portfolios and assessing value creation opportunities.
• Advising on capability investments in asset management and revenue management, including how to optimally deploy devex and capex.
• Leading commercial due diligence engagements, focusing on large platform deals in mature renewables, BESS and PtX.
• More broadly, we are looking for someone with an appetite and capacity to provide leadership bandwidth to the team, capable of coaching and investing in junior team members to enable us to evolve and scale the practice area in this exciting market in the next 3-5 years.

Your skills and experience

We are looking for someone with 8 years+ experience in some or all of the following:

• Experience in investment strategy, M&A and financial advisory and valuation in the energy and infrastructure space, particularly in relation to renewable and ‘power-to-x’.
• Experience in structuring and negotiating commercial deals related to energy and infrastructure investments.
• Experience developing credible business cases for infrastructure investments.
• Strong analytical skills, with ability to develop hypotheses and reach conclusions in tight timeframes.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills (e.g. preparing and presenting investment theses to Investment Committees).
• Experience building strong working relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
• Experience in building teams and leading engagements.

What a career at Baringa will give you

Putting People First.

• 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 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.
• Career Progression: No one develops at the same pace. That’s why we have quarterly rather than annual promotion reviews. We don’t have any quotas: if you’re ready and delivering at the right level, you’ll get that promotion.
• Profit Share Scheme: All employees participate in the Baringa Group Profit Share Scheme so everyone has a stake in the company’s success.

Diversity and Inclusion.

We are proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. We believe that creating an environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging is central to our culture and that diversity is paramount to driving creativity, innovation, and value for our clients and for our people.

An award‑winning workplace.

You can be a part of our ‘Great Place to Work’ – with our commitment to women and well‑being in the workplace for all.

Using business as a force for good.

At Baringa we believe that everyone creates a lasting impact when you put people - customers, employees, investors, suppliers, and society – first. Our B Corp™ certification shows that we’ve met and held ourselves accountable to high standards of social and environmental performance and transparency. Our award‑winning people‑first philosophy makes us distinctive - Be Kind. Be Curious. Be Great at Work.

We’re proud of our recent exploration of kindness and its role in business in our first‑ever brand campaign.
