Are you familiar with the UK wholesale energy and flexibility markets? Do you have a strong drive to play a key role in the transition to Net Zero?

If so, we have an exciting opportunity here at EDF for a Commercial Senior Analyst to join our team!

The Opportunity

EDF Wholesale Market Services (WMS) is a core business line within the EDF UK Customers Business that is at the centre of helping Britain achieve Net Zero. It provides industry leading wholesale market services to EDF’s supply and generation business units and to third party energy asset owners. The team operates in a broad and diverse range of market segments including residential & business supply, nuclear, renewable & thermal generation and storage & flexible energy.

Alongside a salary of circa £54,400 (depending on experience) and a market-leading pension scheme, we offer a range of flexible benefits to support our people across all aspects of their lives.

Your rewards package includes a choice of benefits, such as electric vehicle leasing, enhanced parental leave, health insurance, discounts and employee pricing.

Flexible working means you can work from home (if you wish) and we’ll provide a suite of IT equipment to ensure that you can work remotely comfortably and effectively. The team travel to our London offices on a weekly basis.

Ed Bryan, Commercial Development Senior Analyst, says ‘The work that we do in Wholesale Market Services Commercial is really interesting and varied, with a collaborative approach across the teams. It's one of the most forward-looking parts of the business where we get to work on a wide range of innovative projects to make sure we're always staying ahead of the curve. Not to mention it’s great to be supporting Net Zero!’

At EDF, everyone’s welcome. We strive to create an inclusive and diverse environment where everyone has a voice and where you feel confident being yourself. We’re committed to equality, 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, making adjustments as you need. 

We’ll value the difference you bring and offer opportunities for you to thrive and succeed.

What you’ll be doing

As the Commercial Senior Analyst, you will report into the Senior Manager of Commercial & Product Strategy and will lead on the identification, analysis and development of new commercial opportunities, creating value for EDF, its partners and customers. You will develop and deliver new products in Residential and Business Flex such as EV Smart Charging, BTM batteries, Heat Pumps, Demand Side Response and other Flex Technologies.

You will take ownership of some internal and external strategic relationships including National Grid (ESO), EDF Group and partners. Working closely with WMS partners, you’ll ensure change is delivered and implemented effectively.

Your expert guidance will be critical to prioritisation decisions, informing EDF’s Flex Commercial Strategy and organisational business plan. You will apply your in-depth knowledge of Flexibility products to own the development of the product, including marketing of both on and off supply flexibility products.

Who you are

We are looking for somebody with strong knowledge and expertise in ‘Behind the Meter’ Energy Flexibility (e.g. EV Smart Charging), strong stakeholder relationship skills and experience in creating value for both the customer and flexibility provider.

You will have excellent attention to detail and will demonstrate experience in the end-to-end development of new customer propositions.

You will demonstrate strong commercial acumen and communication skills to help develop and, in some instances, negotiate new products and contracts.

As the Senior Analyst, you will be expected to model the commercial value of Energy Flexibility assets and therefore, experience in Python is beneficial.
