Job description

About us

Ingrid was born out of a simple belief: the energy transition must move faster and work smarter. We're pioneers at the forefront of the global energy transition — pushing boundaries, turning bold ideas into reality, and solving the problems that matter most. The INTELLIGENT GRID of tomorrow needs to absorb and release more power. We develop, build and operate high-performance batteries — the lungs of modern energy infrastructure — enabling a more flexible and resilient energy supply across Europe. With 500 MW already deployed across the Nordics and rapid expansion into continental Europe, we manage, optimize and trade both our own assets and those of third parties through our sophisticated tech platform, making every battery — and the entire grid — stronger.

You will play an important role in how the company allocates capital and resources across projects.

• Lead high-performing development teams across the Nordics and Europe, setting direction, priorities, and ways of working.
• Drive continuous improvement in financial viability and technical excellence standards across the development portfolio.
• Ensure development output aligns with key value drivers for asset lifetime value through cross‑functional collaboration (finance, legal, EPC).
• Strengthen standards for project documentation, governance, and handover processes, ensuring consistency and quality across all teams.

Your work experience

• Over 10 years of experience in the development of energy projects – a generalist with a comprehensive understanding of project development facets.
• Deep understanding of what it takes in a project development phase to achieve assets that perform over their full lifetime.
• Proven track‑record of leading team members assuring a best practice approach in terms of proactive risk management and a thorough understanding of project bankability.
• Familiarity with grid connection processes and permitting across Nordic/European markets.
• Demonstrated ability to manage and grow a team across multiple geographies in a fast‑scaling, international company.
• Fluent in English, both verbal and written.
• University degree in a relevant field such as finance, business, engineering, or management.

Your personal skills

• Highly driven and results‑oriented, with the ability to prioritise across timelines and markets.
• Strong leadership abilities, comfortable working across cultures.
• Structured mindset, ensuring development processes and procedures are followed and improved.
• A generalist with a comprehensive understanding of project development facets, from identification and licensing to legal, finance, and tax aspects.
