Team Lead – Energy Portfolio Management | Renewables Across Europe

The Mission

Across Europe, the energy landscape is evolving—fast. Markets fluctuate, regulation shifts, and the pressures of decarbonization reshape how we value, sell, and hedge power. Our client is one of Europe’s leading independent producers of renewable energy, operating over 3.8 GW of solar, wind, and storage capacity across 13 countries. Their goal is simple: accelerate the clean energy transition by pairing technical excellence with disciplined portfolio management.

This role sits at the centre of that mission—bringing structure, insight, and strategy to how renewable energy reaches the market.

The Opportunity

As Team Lead, Energy Portfolio Management, you’ll guide how power is priced, hedged, and managed across Europe.

You’ll collaborate with originators, analysts, and executive leadership to turn complex data into confident strategy—helping the business capture value while keeping risk firmly under control.

This is a leadership role where analytical precision meets entrepreneurial drive. You’ll be empowered to design the roadmap, build the models, and develop the next generation of portfolio thinking for a company that’s already shaping Europe’s renewable future.

Every model, algorithm, and trade you help refine drives more efficient renewable power to the grid—and strengthens a portfolio that directly fuels Europe’s energy transformation.

What You Bring

• Degree in mathematics, physical sciences, or an equivalent quantitative discipline.
  

• 3+ years’ experience in energy trading, portfolio management, or market risk with PnL accountability.
  

• Strong applied skills in statistical analysis, stochastic modelling, and scenario evaluation.
  

• Experienced in building and applying hedging strategies grounded in real market risk.
  

• Data fluency—proficient with SQL and Python; comfortable extracting insight from APIs, CSVs, and databases.
  

• Excellent communication skills; able to translate complex quantitative ideas for non-technical teams.
  

• English fluency required; German a plus.
  

You’re analytical but pragmatic—driven by numbers, motivated by purpose, and sharp enough to see both the physics and the finance of Europe’s evolving energy markets.
