Travel: Regular travel between Spain and the UK required

Climate17 is supporting an established renewable energy business in the appointment of a Business Development and Strategy Associate - Renewables 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.

About You

Our client is particularly interested in candidates with approximately 2 to 3 years' professional experience who can combine exposure across at least two of the following areas:

- Technical: An engineering background would be particularly valuable.

- Financial: Experience within M&A;, Corporate Finance, Transaction Services, investment, Big Four or a similar environment.

- Legal: Experience supporting M&A;, corporate transactions or other commercial matters, ideally combined with a good understanding of financial concepts.

Potential backgrounds could include:

- An engineer who has moved into M&A;, Corporate Finance or transaction advisory.

- A finance professional with exposure to business operations, infrastructure or project environments.

- A lawyer with M&A; or transactional experience and strong financial understanding.

- A Big Four or consulting professional with technical and transaction‑related exposure.

- Experience within renewable energy, energy, construction or infrastructure would be particularly relevant. Exposure to EPC and O&M; businesses would also be beneficial.

What We Are Looking For

- Beyond specific experience, potential and attitude will be particularly important.

- Highly analytical and comfortable working with complex information.

- Commercially minded, curious and quick to understand new concepts.

- Proactive and willing to take responsibility.

- Comfortable moving between technical, financial and operational topics.

- Organised and able to manage several priorities simultaneously.

- Confident working closely with senior leadership.

- Able to communicate effectively with internal and external stakeholders.

- Ambitious and motivated by the opportunity to learn and develop.

- Willing and able to travel regularly between Spain and the UK.
