Transitioning to a low-carbon energy system to meet the 2050 net zero target is one of the most complex and important challenges that humanity faces, and the introduction of new services and products will play an important part in helping us achieve it.

A core focus of the Energy Systems Catapult is to support businesses, from startups to SMEs, accelerate their offerings (mostly digital, hardware and service related) into the energy marketplace and as a Senior Consultant or Consultant you to be at the heart of that, as we continue to help innovators to design new business models using a unique mix of energy, engineering, and commercial expertise.

As a member of the Business Model Innovation team, you will be involved in multiple collaborative projects with a broad range of external stakeholders and other internal catapult teams, those teams provide expertise in both technical (whole system energy sector expertise, trial & test, solution scale up), and commercial (markets, consumer offerings, investments, and funding) areas.

Your core focus will be on assessing the commercial viability now and in the future of emerging energy business models and creating a detailed understanding of the future revenue and cost structures in the energy sector, identifying new value and how that can be delivered at scale.

You.

We imagine that your background may well be in an area such as sustainable finance, energy policy, energy product /service creation or energy markets and you will be keen to put that knowledge and knowhow to good use in a consultative capacity as you look to help businesses address their commercial innovation challenges.

Strong skill sets in areas such as financial modelling, quantitative research, financial analysis, existing or new energy asset analysis, report writing and presenting are particularly sought after. We will also be expecting you to be able to evidence the positive impacts and outcomes that the projects you have worked on has resulted in.

What can you expect to be doing day to day?

• For the Senior role, you will be responsible for the line management and development of a Business Model Analyst/s as well as providing technical and project guidance /advice to the wider team.

So, if you have an impactful track record of making sense of commercial and financial complexities (if that’s in the energy sector great!) and formulating proposals, solutions and ideas that make good business sense and have the ability to communicate those in an engaging straightforward way, this could be the career opportunity you were looking for.
