Here, we do right by each other and everyone’s welcome. We’re on an action-oriented journey, championing equity, 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. Please let us know if you need to request reasonable adjustments.

We take pride in fostering a dynamic and inclusive environment, where the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our employees drive fresh thinking and innovation. We understand that success means different things to different people.


What you’ll be doing

The team focuses on three separate routes:

1. Traditional PPA - standard offtake focused primarily on operational assets (and some new build), providing products between 6 months and 5 years
2. CFD and bespoke 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.

You’ll predominantly work in the first area by seeking opportunities, managing relationships, responding to tenders and leading on commercial negotiations with customers. Working collaboratively with other parts of EDF, you’ll bring the best of our skills and knowledge to our clients.
You will also support with ongoing Product Development, Process Improvement and Change projects as well as attend face to face events with customers including conferences as necessary.

Who you are

We’re looking for someone with experience in delivering results against ambitious targets through the building and maintenance of effective relationships. You must be customer centric, brimming with initiative and always acting with integrity.

You will have strong commercial acumen. You’ll be able to spot opportunities for growth, will have the ability to identify new business prospects and foster relationships utilising a diverse range of techniques.

You’ll be confident working across a broad spectrum of both internal and external stakeholders, adapting your communication style and content to suit.

Closing date for applications: 14.11.2024
Contract type: 12-month fixed term contract (possibility to extend)
Location: Flexible - The PPA team is spread across office locations in London, Gloucester and Exeter. Alternatively, our teams are set up to work flexibly, therefore there are options to be based anywhere in the UK as long as you’re able to travel to meet clients, collaborate with your team and stakeholders as and when required.

Success is personal. It’s your journey, powered by us. Join us and we’ll help Britain achieve Net Zero, together.
