At Octopus Energy Generation (OEGEN), we’re passionate about powering a sustainable future. As pioneers in the renewable energy space, we don’t just invest in utility-scale projects; we invest in people, communities, and a greener tomorrow.

Since stepping into the renewables arena in 2010, we've made waves - becoming a top investor in onshore wind across mainland Europe and the largest backer of solar power in Europe. Today, we proudly manage over £7bn in renewable energy assets worldwide.

Our portfolio includes over three hundred major energy-generating companies, from wind farms to solar power plants, with exciting new ventures in energy storage, e-fuels and beyond. As we continue to grow, we're looking for passionate individuals to join our diverse and dedicated team, helping us drive the future of renewable energy forward.

We are looking for a Commercial Asset Manager to drive asset performance across a 850MW wind portfolio in the Nordic region. Working with both the asset management and fund management teams, the successful candidate will build an understanding of strategic priorities and use that knowledge to direct priorities accordingly.

This role is execution-focused, with time split across issue management, risk mitigation, and performance optimisation. The successful candidate will be expected to leverage external partners where appropriate and maintain key supplier relationships.

The role will report to the Asset Management Director. Whilst we maintain a degree of flexibility, this position requires an average of 3 days in the office per week in our London offices.

• Drive asset profitability and performance across the portfolio; prioritising high value areas across issue management, contractor management, optimisation, and risk mitigation workstreams.


• Provide oversight and support of ongoing incident management within the portfolio.


• Collaborate with asset management and energy market teams as needed for technical and commercial support. Make decisions on using external expertise where necessary.


• Lead stakeholder management for key approvals, and own asset-level internal and external reporting.


• Maintain relationships with critical suppliers and develop key market knowledge to support the delivery of asset performance.


• Work closely with technology, finance, ESG, HSE and other teams to ensure assets operate to OEGEN standards.


• Partner with fund management teams on investor focused activities, including reporting, budgeting and asset valuations.

• Manager level experience in commercial or financial roles within the industry - preferably with relevant renewable fund manager experience.


• Excellent commercial skills, including significant experience owning material issue resolution workstreams.


• Able to manage technical people and leverage wider finance and legal skill sets to drive performance.


• Experience working in Nordic region, with a strong knowledge of the renewables market, including suppliers, contractual frameworks and industry norms.


• Experience in renewable asset management with a good understanding of key technical assumptions, performance indicators, and risk management measures.


• Ability to collaborate and work under pressure to tight deadlines on multiple projects simultaneously.


• High commercial and numerical acumen, with a good understanding of key financial metrics.
