About the Role
Ready to lead high-value deals that accelerate the UK’s journey to Net Zero?
Do you have experience working within the Energy industry and are a confident negotiator and structurer?
If so, we may have the perfect opportunity for you here at EDF as a Senior PPA Originator!
The Opportunity
The PPA team is a high performing team that is now the largest PPA offtaker in the UK and is pushing the boundaries in terms of new innovations. The team focuses on buying renewable energy and associated certificates from a broad range of low carbon assets across the UK.
As a Senior PPA Originator, you’ll lead on sourcing, structuring and closing complex Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and Corporate PPAs. You’ll be at the forefront of EDF’s mission to deliver innovative commercial solutions for renewable generators and corporate clients – helping Britain achieve Net Zero through long-term, high-impact agreements.
This is a flexible and hybrid role, with the ability to be office based or the flexibility to work from home and attend our offices/client sites as required.
Who You Are
We’re looking for a Senior PPA Originator who thrives on complexity, innovation and stakeholder engagement. You’ll bring experience in structuring and negotiating Corporate PPAs and bespoke renewable offtake deals, with a strong track record of leading high-value commercial negotiations in the UK energy market.
You’ll have a deep understanding of the PPAs, the CfD, ROCs, REGOs and wholesale market structures, and be confident managing senior relationships across legal, risk, trading and product teams. You’ll also be commercially astute, proactive in identifying new business opportunities, and driven to deliver results in a fast-evolving sector.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll originate and lead negotiations for bespoke renewable and Corporate PPA contracts, developing innovative deal structures including physical and virtual CPPAs, PPAs to support CfD assets, Flex PPAs and PPAs to suit private wire projects. You’ll build trusted relationships with developers and corporate clients, working closely with internal teams to deliver commercially sound agreements. You’ll also play a key role in spotting market trends and shaping EDF’s future PPA offering.
Working closely with the Product Development and Marketing teams, you’ll ensure that the PPA business is supported with the right products, communications and events. Reviewing the existing portfolio with an eye on continuous improvement, you’ll create value and maximise return whilst maintaining strong market presence by engaging with key players in the UK renewables market.
Pay, Benefits and Culture
Alongside a starting salary from c.£80,000 (depending on experience), an annual company bonus, sales incentive plan, and a market-leading pension scheme, your package will include customisable benefits such as electric vehicle leasing, discounted gym membership, life assurance, tech vouchers, experience days, and more.
