We are partnering with an established Independent Power Producer looking to appoint a high-potential Renewable Energy Strategy & Commercial Associate to support its growing business across multiple functions.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone with a background in renewable energy, sustainability, energy economics, energy policy, finance, engineering, law or business who wants broad exposure to how an IPP operates, from market research and commercial strategy through to regulatory analysis, project development and regional expansion.
The role is suited to someone curious, analytical and self-driven; someone who enjoys digging into complex topics, making sense of information and turning research into clear, practical insights for the business.
About the role
This is a broad, cross-functional role designed to support busy teams across the business with research, coordination, documentation and follow-through on important workstreams.
You will work closely with senior team members across areas such as business development, commercial, strategy, regulatory, trading, legal and project development. The role will involve supporting research into African power markets, regional electricity trading, market entry opportunities and licensing requirements.
Examples of work may include researching SAPP, market entry into countries such as Zimbabwe, electricity trading licence requirements across African markets, regulatory frameworks, stakeholder mapping and broader renewable energy market opportunities.
