Job description

Strategy & Business Development Associate / Manager

US-based opportunity | Direct exposure to executive leadership

We're partnering with a growing energy technology business backed by a major global industrial group to hire into its Strategy & Business Development team.

The business operates in a rapidly expanding market, supporting the development of next-generation energy infrastructure and distributed power solutions.

This is an opportunity for someone coming from investment banking, management consulting or infrastructure investing who wants to move into an operating business and influence real commercial decisions.

This isn't a traditional sales position. The focus is heavily weighted towards strategy, market intelligence and financial analysis.

The position is approximately 60% corporate strategy and market intelligence, with 40% focused on business development and strategic growth opportunities.

The role

• Conduct market research, competitive analysis and industry benchmarking across energy, power and infrastructure markets.
• Build financial models, valuations and investment analyses to assess growth opportunities.
• Evaluate market entry strategies, partnerships, acquisitions and commercial opportunities.
• Prepare strategic recommendations and presentations for senior leadership.
• Support early-stage business development discussions with prospective partners and customers.
• Work directly with senior executives on strategic priorities and investment decisions.

What we're looking for

• Approximately 4–5 years of relevant experience.
• Ideally 2+ years in investment banking, particularly Power & Utilities, Energy, Industrials or Energy Technology.
• Alternatively, relevant management consulting, private equity or infrastructure investment experience.
• Strong financial modeling, valuation and analytical skills.
• Ability to research unfamiliar markets and independently develop commercial recommendations.
• Interest in transitioning from advisory or investing into an operating energy technology business.

You'll have direct access to senior decision-makers and the opportunity to influence how the business approaches new markets and commercial opportunities.
