Travel: Regular travel between Spain and the UK required

Climate17 is supporting an established renewable energy business in the appointment of a Deputy General Manager to work closely with the Managing Director and support the continued development of the business.

This is a unique opportunity for an ambitious professional at an early stage of their career to gain broad exposure to the commercial, financial, technical and strategic aspects of a growing renewable energy company.

Working directly alongside the Managing Director, the successful candidate will initially support a wide range of day-to-day business activities, projects and decisions. Over time, they will take ownership of increasingly important areas of the business.

This is not intended to be a highly senior appointment from day one. Our client is looking for someone with strong potential, intellectual curiosity and the ambition to develop into a broader leadership role over the longer term.

Key Responsibilities The role will provide exposure across the business, including:

- Supporting the Managing Director with day-to-day business management and strategic priorities.
- Reviewing management reporting, business performance and key KPIs.
- Providing analytical support across technical, commercial and financial matters.
- Supporting M&A; transactions, investment opportunities and due diligence processes.
- Assisting with commercial discussions and negotiations with clients and external partners.
- Analysing individual projects, investment opportunities and potential new business areas.
- Preparing specific business studies and supporting strategic projects.
- Monitoring and analysing EPC and O&M; activities and project performance.
- Coordinating activities involving internal teams, advisers, clients and other external stakeholders.
- Supporting decision-making through clear analysis and well-structured recommendations.




- Gradually taking greater ownership of selected projects and areas of the business as experience develops.

- Highly analytical and comfortable working with complex information.
