Why this role matters

Your role will be to own the company's access to wholesale power markets for renewable energy and storage assets: the agreements, registrations, licenses and interfaces that allow assets to be scheduled, traded and balanced, whether execution is performed by external providers or in-house. Select, negotiate and manage market access, balancing responsible party (BRP) and balancing service provider (BSP), optimizer, execution and forecasting providers within mandates approved by the line manager. Lead the market access workstream of the planned transition of day-ahead and intraday market activities for non-storage assets to in-house market operations, while battery energy storage system (BESS) optimization remains with external optimizers. Contribute route-to-market cost and operational input to power purchase agreement (PPA) pricing and market intelligence. The role is based in Romania and covers the Romanian market, with support for market access set-up in one or two additional European markets as the portfolio expands.

What you’ll be doing

In this role, you will:

• Develop and execute route-to-market strategies across renewable assets, covering market access, balancing, optimization and trading set-up.
• Assess market design, regulatory developments and market access requirements for new markets and assets.
• Lead the selection, negotiation and management of market access, balancing, optimization, forecasting and execution providers.
• Secure and maintain participation in power markets, exchanges and ancillary service schemes, ensuring all registrations and compliance requirements are met.
• Drive the transition from outsourced to in-house market operations, including provider onboarding, systems integration and operational readiness.
• Oversee market operations processes, including scheduling, nominations, settlements and performance monitoring.
• Provide market access and operational input to PPA pricing, tenders and commercial decision-making.
• Contribute market intelligence on route-to-market developments, regulatory changes and provider landscapes.
• Own reporting on market access costs, provider performance and operational readiness while supporting automation and continuous improvement initiatives.

Your work will support real decisions, real assets, and real operational outcomes.

What you’ll gain

• Professional growth through ownership, exposure, and meaningful contribution from day one
• Hands-on experience in a role where the challenge is energising, fast-moving, meaningful, and built on learning through doing.
• Exposure to complex stakeholder environments, including communities, contractors, organized labor, local authorities, and industry bodies.
• The opportunity to develop specialized expertise in industrial relations, community engagement, and social risk management within large-scale renewable energy projects.

What you’ll bring

• Education: Master's degree in engineering, economics, finance or a related field, or Bachelor’s degree with deeper direct experience.
• Experience: 3 to 5 years in market access, route-to-market, energy trading operations or commercial roles at a utility, independent power producer (IPP), aggregator or trader, including hands-on market operations (nominations, scheduling, settlement or imbalance management)
• Knowledge: strong understanding of wholesale power market design, balancing mechanisms and BRP responsibilities; knowledge of power exchange and TSO processes, REMIT and ancillary services markets
• Track record: negotiating and managing market access, aggregation or trading agreements
• Systems and data: familiarity with trading and ETRM systems and data interfaces; SQL or Python an advantage
• Language: fluent both written and spoken in English
