Location: UK (home based with travel)
Reporting to: CEO
Job Type: Full time
Remuneration Package: Open dependent on experience and demonstrated performance
Zestec Renewable Energy, part of the Octopus Energy Generation (OEGen) distributed energy platform, is actively deploying capital and scaling its presence across the UK commercial and industrial renewable infrastructure market.
As an independent power producer, we originate, develop, fund and manage commercial solar, battery energy storage and EV infrastructure solutions for complex, capital intensive environments. Wholly owned by funds managed by OEGen, one of the largest commercial solar and onshore wind investors in Europe with a generating capacity of over 3GW, we operate with institutional backing, long term capital investment capability and a delegated mandate to deploy capital into high quality UK opportunities.
We are seeking a high performing Business Development Manager to originate and close new PPA opportunities across the UK C&I market.
This is a front line origination role focused on winning new business, not account management. You will be expected to identify, develop and convert opportunities in complex, multi stakeholder environments.
You will operate as a core part of the commercial team, working directly with senior leadership to convert opportunities into deployed capital.
This is a hunter role - success is defined by your ability to create opportunities, not rely on inbound or marketing generated leads.
We are looking for a commercially credible, high energy business developer with a track record of winning new business in complex B2B environments.
You will demonstrate:
You are comfortable operating in performance driven environments where results are visible, measured and expected. You are comfortable being challenged on performance and can clearly evidence your contribution to won deals.
You will work directly with senior leadership and have access to institutional capital through OEGen.
This role offers the opportunity to play a central role in continuing to scale Zestec's UK portfolio and to increase your influence within a growing commercial platform.
Zestec Renewable Energy specialises in the origination, development and management of fully funded commercial solar, battery storage and EV infrastructure solutions for businesses across the UK.
Over the last 15 years, our team has built an enviable reputation and successful track record in developing trusted relationships and partnerships across an extensive and exacting client base.
Being wholly owned within the Octopus Energy Group helps unlock incremental value through our ability to combine deep sector expertise with long term capital, to deliver scalable energy solutions.
We operate with clarity, pace and commercial focus and we are looking for individuals who want to play a meaningful role in that growth.
Zestec has built an exciting and inclusive, engaging, performance culture where our team feels empowered. This means we welcome discussions about flexible working hours and a genuine work life balance. At Zestec we don't just focus on what we do, but also how we do it.
We're looking for genuinely decent people who are candid, empathetic and have the right values. We not only say that people are our strongest asset; we are keen to see them develop. We know that every touch point with a client is key and the unique skills and perspectives people bring to the team are the driving force of our success. We promote equal opportunities for growth and development regardless of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, age, disability, or socio economic background. We believe strongly that teams are at their best when every member feels safe to bring their whole self to work.
