Commercial Manager, New Independent Distribution Network Operator (iDNO)
UK flexible | Permanent | Founding team | Travel as required
About our client
I'm recruiting for a major UK energy group that is new to the iDNO market and is launching its first Independent Distribution Network Operator (iDNO) business, built from scratch. You'd join the founding team, with the backing of an established group and the pace of a start-up.
The opportunity
As Commercial Manager, you'll lead proposition development, pricing and route-to-market for this new entrant. You'll create a sustainable pipeline of network-adoption opportunities across priority market segments and take them through to investment decision. You'll shape the commercial function from day one, working alongside the founding leadership, regulatory and engineering leads, and with other businesses across the wider group to build differentiated propositions.
