Strategy Manager in London

A bit about Field
At Field, we're accelerating the build out of renewable energy infrastructure to reach net zero. We are starting with battery storage, storing energy for when it's needed most to create a more reliable, flexible and greener grid. At Field, we will show that batteries are a totally viable part of our energy infrastructure - now, not in some distant future. We have ambitious plans to become the defining new clean energy player in Europe over the next few years, gradually expanding beyond batteries into new asset types.

Overview
We are looking for a Strategy Manager to tackle key strategic projects at Field. In your role you will cover a broad range of topics and work collaboratively with different teams across the company. A key responsibility will be to develop and implement Field's international strategy: Field has expanded to Italy, Spain and Germany in the last 3 years and is now targeting further expansion, so this is an exciting time to join us! In addition you will be responsible for assessing new opportunities for Field project development, tracking and deriving actionable insights from competitor intelligence and for jumping in and solving business problems as they arise. You will be part of the Strategy & Analysis and reporting into our Head of Strategy & Analysis (Alexa), though this role is highly cross‐functional and on a day‐to‐day basis you will be working across all areas of the business. This is a unique role in green energy infrastructure, making a tangible impact on the energy transition, whilst getting to work on a number of complex and varied problems.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop Field's international strategy
• Regularly evaluate potential new markets (including market attractiveness, energy market structures and operational readiness)
• Track and analyse country energy and storage policies to stay ahead of regulatory developments as well as broader market trends and changes
• Share regular updates with key stakeholders on new markets
• Adapt Field's in‐house unit economics model to new markets to determine expected revenues and returns for assets we would seek to deploy
• Implement Field's international strategy
• Coordinate workstreams required to set up operations in new markets (including entity set up, tax, legal, people, etc.)
• Collaborate with country General Managers to refine the go‐to‐market strategy and development approach
• Roll out central processes and templates to each country in collaboration with country General Managers
• Build KPI tools to monitor and report in‐country progress at central level
• Assess new opportunities for viability for Field to develop projects (within storage or the broader renewable infrastructure space)
• Engage with third parties (including suppliers and industry contacts) to understand new opportunities in more detail
• Work across our fundamentals, techno‐commercial and finance teams to evaluate new opportunities on feasibility, economic viability and development requirements, including modelling expected revenues and returns
• New developments including by attending industry events and webinars
• If promising, work through how to commercially pilot our first project
• Determine how Field can develop projects strategically to be ahead of competitors
• Create and run competitor intelligence to help Field drive insights on where and how competitors are developing sites
• Derive second and third order implications and suggest recommendations across development strategy, M&A and other business areas
• Analyse and provide recommendations on ad‐hoc strategic questions or problems as they arise in the business (e.g. project managing LDES cap and floor submissions).

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

A bit about you
You're an open, clear communicator who enjoys working collaboratively - there are no 'lone wolves' at Field, we're all in this together. You're excited to learn - you enjoy learning about new and complex topics and are able to pick them up quickly. You're a problem solver - you're able to break down problems and design an approach to find the solution at the right level of detail. You're very organised - you'll be spinning a few plates at once, so you'll need to have tried and tested methods for keeping on top of a varied workload at your fingertips. You're enthusiastic, curious and knowledgeable about the energy storage industry.

Essential Skills

• 3-5 years experience in strategy consulting (preferred in energy, sustainability or related field) or in the energy industry
• Experienced and confident in complex quantitative modelling (Excel / Google Sheets essential) and qualitative analysis. Experience with financial modelling for assets is a benefit (unit economics, IRRs).
• Experienced in building storylines and presenting them (PowerPoint / Google Slides essential)

Benefits

Why join us?

• Genuine impact: You will actually be building and operating the renewable infrastructure we need to reach net zero. This is not a green CSR initiative, but a company that is taking a leading role in building one of the critical solutions to a generational problem.
• Make things happen: We are still a relatively early stage company, and you will have significant accountability to make things happen from day one. You will have a lot of autonomy, will learn quickly, and be given a LOT of room to grow.
• Define a new industry: The energy market is in a paradigm shift right now, evolving at a breathtaking pace, and you will play a leading role in defining how that market evolves and innovates over the next few years.
• Exceptional team: We are an eclectic team with varied backgrounds.

You will learn from and work with a bunch of fun, curious, and entrepreneurial people who really want to make an impact.
