Mission & Impact

You will drive C&I deals to closing: structuring, modelling, and negotiating PPAs, converting sales opportunities into signed contracts, and effectively supporting project origination (directly & via partners). Your contribution increases signed MWs, improves project economics, and shortens time-to-close.

Core Responsibilities

  • PPA Structuring & Negotiation: Term sheets, pricing mechanisms (floors/collars, indexation), metering/billing concepts, change-in-law.
  • Commercial Modelling: LCOE/NPV/IRR, sensitivity analyses (price, CAPEX, utilisation), bankability evidence.
  • E2E Deal Management: From qualified opportunity to signature (orchestrating Legal/Finance/Engineering; data room, due diligence, governance).
  • Origination & Pipeline Development: Own prospecting; channel/partner sourcing (EPCs, aggregators, OEMs) and bid development.
  • GTM Enablement: Offer components, standard term sheets, pricing logics, SLA templates (EaaS/PPA).
  • Stakeholder Management: Customer-side buying groups (CFO, procurement, plant management, energy/digital, legal) as well as internal interfaces.
  • Governance: Offer/pricing approvals, risk assessments, closing documentation for IC/Management.


Success Metrics (KPIs)

  • Signed MW (PPA/EaaS)
  • Time-to-close (Term Sheet → Signature)
  • Project economics (IRR/contribution margin vs. target range)
  • Optional: Hit rate & pipeline conversion


Must-Haves

  • Seniority: Senior manager level in the C&I energy environment
  • Experience: Proven deal track record in BTM/on-site PPA/EaaS

  • Financial Modelling: Excel/BI; confident in sensitivities & risk representation
