The role

We’re looking for an Investment & Commercial Manager to help maximise and protect the value of major renewable energy investments, with a particular focus on offshore wind. You’ll work across projects spanning development through to operations, applying commercial insight, financial analysis and strategic thinking to support high-quality decision-making and long-term value creation.

This is a unique opportunity to influence how large-scale renewable assets perform commercially while playing a meaningful role in accelerating the transition to a net zero energy system.

Working within a dynamic and collaborative environment, you’ll partner with multidisciplinary teams to drive commercial performance, manage risk and identify opportunities that deliver value across complex renewable energy portfolios.

You will

• Maximise value across renewable energy investments by identifying opportunities to enhance revenues, optimise costs and proactively manage commercial risk across projects and portfolios.
• Provide high-quality commercial and financial insight, using, interpreting and challenging financial models to test assumptions, evaluate scenarios and support robust, evidence-based investment decisions.
• Lead commercial input into contracts and negotiations, partnering closely with delivery and procurement teams to achieve balanced, value-focused outcomes that protect and enhance long-term value.
• Collaborate across technical, commercial and operational teams to align priorities, manage uncertainty and unlock portfolio-wide opportunities and benefits.
• Support the ongoing optimisation of renewable assets throughout their lifecycle, contributing to both short-term performance and long-term strategic value creation.

You have

• Strong commercial and financial acumen, with experience applying these skills within complex projects, investments or infrastructure environments — ideally within renewables, energy or power generation.
• Experience working with contracts and negotiations, alongside a strong understanding of how commercial structures create, protect and enhance value.
• Confidence working with financial models, including the ability to interpret outputs, challenge assumptions and improve model quality.
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the ability to build effective relationships across diverse teams and perspectives.
• A proactive, analytical mindset, with the ability to balance commercial outcomes, strategic priorities and risk management in a fast-moving environment.
