Description
PPA Originator (12-month fixed term contract with the potential to go perm)
Do you have experience delivering results against ambitious targets through the building and maintenance of effective relationships?
Do you have the ability to identify new business prospects and foster relationships utilising a diverse range of techniques?
Do you like getting into the detail of bespoke negotiations?
If so, come and join our team here at EDF as an Originator!
The Opportunity
The PPA team is a high performing team that is now the largest PPA offtaker in the UK and is pushing the boundaries in terms of new innovations. The team focuses on buying renewable energy and associated certificates from a broad range of low carbon assets across the UK, through three separate routes:
1. Traditional PPA - standard offtake focused primarily on operational assets within a 3 year horizon.
2. Large developer PPA – bespoke product offerings focused on long term offtake from new large scale generation projects.
3. Corporate PPAs – delivering physical, virtual and private wire energy supply to corporate clients.
Pay, benefits and culture
Alongside a salary from £55,000 to £65,000 depending on experience and a market-leading pension scheme, we offer a range of flexible benefits to support our people across all aspects of their lives.
Your rewards package includes a choice of benefits, such as electric vehicle leasing, enhanced parental leave, health insurance, discounts, and employee pricing. We also offer a Sales Incentive Plan and Company Incentive Plan.
Flexible working means you can work from home (if you wish) and we’ll provide a suite of IT equipment to ensure that you can work remotely comfortably and effectively.
At EDF, everyone’s welcome. We strive to create an inclusive and diverse environment where everyone has a voice and where you feel confident being yourself. We’re committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion. We’d like our future workforce to have an equal gender balance, represent a broad mix of people from minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+, those with a disability and supporting social mobility. We’re a disability confident employer and we’ll do all we can to help with your application, making adjustments as you need.
We’ll value the difference you bring and offer opportunities for you to thrive and succeed.
What you’ll be doing
In this role, you will predominantly work across large bespoke PPAs and Corporate PPAs by seeking opportunities, structuring agreements, gaining internal buy in and leading on commercial negotiations with clients. Working collaboratively with other parts of EDF, you’ll bring the best of our skills and knowledge to our clients.
Working closely with the Product Development and Marketing teams, you’ll ensure that the PPA business is supported with the right products, communications and events. Reviewing the existing portfolio with an eye on continuous improvement, you’ll create value and maximise return whilst maintaining strong market presence by engaging with key players in the UK renewables market.
Who you are
We’re looking for someone who is customer centric, brimming with initiative and always acting with integrity.
You must have negotiation and structuring experience, being able to identify risks and opportunities as well as create appropriate terms collaboratively with our legal team. You will be demonstrably numerate, can analyse trends, and evaluate risks. Having work experience in energy wholesale markets and/or trading would be a clear advantage.
You will have strong commercial acumen and be able to spot opportunities for growth. You’ll be confident working across a broad spectrum of both internal and external stakeholders, adapting your communication style and content to suit.
If this all sounds like you then we’d love to hear from you!
