This is a high-impact role within the commercial function, overseeing a portfolio of renewable offtake contracts and market positions across key continental markets (e.g., Denmark, Germany, Netherlands). The successful candidate will also act as a coach and role model to less experienced colleagues.

This role is ideal for someone with 5–10 years’ experience in renewables, energy trading, or commercial portfolio management, who’s looking to blend strategic responsibility with team leadership.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as a senior point of contact for counterparties, internal stakeholders, and external partners

• Lead commercial analysis, market positioning, and risk mitigation strategies within the portfolio

• Ensure alignment between PPA structures, market access, and trading strategies

• Monitor European power market dynamics, including regulation (e.g. REMA, CfD equivalents, market coupling)

• Contribute to ongoing portfolio development and commercial innovation (e.g., new structures, hybrid assets, flexibility integration)

• Represent the team in internal governance and strategy discussions

What We're Looking For

• 5–10 years’ experience in energy trading, renewable PPAs, or commercial portfolio management

• Strong knowledge of European energy markets, particularly Denmark and Germany

• Experience negotiating or managing PPAs, balancing positions, or hedging strategies

• Excellent analytical and decision-making skills, with commercial acumen

• Proven ability to support and coach junior colleagues

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, fluent in English (additional European languages a plus)

• Degree in engineering, economics, finance, or a related discipline
