M&A Manager – Renewable Energy
Company Overview
A well-capitalised European renewable energy platform, backed by a leading global institutional investor, is looking to appoint an M&A Manager to support the continued expansion of its renewable energy portfolio across Europe.
The business is developing a multi-GW portfolio across solar PV, onshore wind, BESS and hybrid projects. The platform remains in a significant growth phase, creating an opportunity to join a lean investment team with direct exposure to senior management and the wider development, finance, legal and technical functions.
The Role
The M&A Manager will take a key role in the origination, evaluation and execution of renewable energy transactions, working across acquisitions, partnerships, joint ventures and selected disposals.
This is a highly transactional position with responsibility throughout the full investment lifecycle, from initial screening and valuation through due diligence, Investment Committee approval, negotiation and completion.
Key Responsibilities
- Originate and assess acquisition and investment opportunities across the European renewable energy market.
- Lead financial modelling, valuation and investment returns analysis across development-stage, RTB, construction and operational assets.
- Assess project economics including development costs, construction assumptions, financing structures, route-to-market and exit scenarios.
- Coordinate financial, legal, tax, technical, commercial and ESG due diligence processes.
- Prepare investment papers, recommendations and presentations for senior management and Investment Committee approval.
- Lead and support commercial negotiations around valuation, transaction structure and key contractual terms.
- Work closely with external advisers and counterparties throughout transaction execution.
- Review and negotiate transaction documentation including SPAs, SHAs, JV agreements and development-related agreements alongside internal and external legal counsel.
- Support strategic partnerships, platform-level transactions and portfolio optimisation initiatives.
- Work cross-functionally with development, engineering, finance, legal and asset management teams to evaluate investment risks and opportunities.
- Support the continued development of the company's M&A strategy and European growth pipeline.
