Job Description
Ready to help shape the future of energy flexibility in one of the UK's most exciting and fast-moving markets? Do you enjoy turning complex market developments into commercial opportunities that create real value for customers? At EDF, Success is Personal. As a Market Specialist - Flexibility, you'll help identify, develop and deliver the next generation of flexibility services while building your expertise in a business helping drive Britain's net zero future.
The Opportunity
As a Market Specialist - Flexibility, you'll play a key role in identifying and developing new flexibility services across Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), peakers and behind-the-meter technologies. Working within our Flex Delivery team, you'll assess emerging market opportunities, build expertise in evolving flexibility markets and help shape the services that support our customers and EDF's journey towards An Electric Britain. You'll work at the heart of commercial decision-making, translating market developments into practical solutions that create value and support business growth.
Alongside a salary range of between £55,000 to £80,000 per annum, with the potential for an annual bonus, this role offers flexibility to work remotely or in a hybrid arrangement. You'll primarily work from home, with attendance required at our London office for quarterly meetings and other business activities when needed.
This is an opportunity to become a recognised subject matter expert in a rapidly evolving area of the energy industry. You'll work across Trading & Optimisation, Technology, Product, Commercial and operational teams, influencing how EDF responds to changing market conditions and emerging opportunities. From representing the business in industry forums to helping develop new services from concept through to operational readiness, you'll play a visible role in shaping the future of flexibility markets.
