​I'm currently working with a leading renewable energy developer based in Milan that’s looking to hire a Head of Origination to lead the acquisition of land for large-scale renewable energy projects across Italy.

The company has been active in the Italian renewables market for over a decade, with operations spanning planning, development, construction, and operation of solar PV, wind, and BESS (battery storage) assets. With over 2.5GW in the pipeline and backing from top-tier European banks, they are scaling rapidly and investing heavily in long-term growth.

What’s on offer:

• Strategic leadership role in land origination

• €80k–€90k salary (based on experience)

• 3-day hybrid working model in Milan

• Opportunity to shape national origination strategy

• Strong, well-capitalised platform with long-term vision

Key responsibilities:

• Lead origination and acquisition of land for utility-scale renewable energy projects

• Develop and manage relationships with landowners, brokers, and local stakeholders

• Oversee internal origination team and external partners

• Evaluate and prioritise high-potential areas based on grid access and permitting feasibility

• Collaborate with development, legal, and technical teams to bring sites through early-stage milestones

• Contribute to broader commercial and strategic decisions across the Italy pipeline

Ideal candidate:

• Strong track record in land origination for renewables in Italy

• Excellent network of land agents and brokers

• Understanding of local regulations, land rights, and environmental considerations

• Commercial mindset with strategic leadership capabilities

• Fluency in Italian and solid command of English

If you're looking to take on a leadership role with real impact in Italy’s energy transition — and join a stable, well-funded developer — this could be the right move.
