Senior M&A Investment Manager; origination - Renewable energy: Europe

Renewable Energy – Origination, Platform Acquisitions & Strategic Growth The Opportunity

Our client is one of the most financially robust and ambitious independent power producers operating within the renewable energy sector today.

With a substantial balance sheet, funds raised, a proven track record of developing, owning and operating renewable energy assets, and a clear mandate for growth, the business is entering an exciting new phase of expansion across Europe and North America.

To support this growth strategy, the company is seeking a Senior M&A & Investment Manager to play a leading role in originating, evaluating and executing strategic acquisitions, platform investments and partnership opportunities.

This is a highly visible position offering direct exposure to senior leadership and the opportunity to influence the future direction of a well‑capitalised international renewable energy platform. The role combines commercial origination, strategic thinking and transaction execution, making it ideal for an individual looking to move beyond purely advisory or investment roles and take ownership of growth initiatives.

• Originate acquisition opportunities across Europe and the US, with a particular focus on platform acquisitions, development businesses, IPPs and operating renewable energy companies.
• Develop and maintain relationships with developers, founders, management teams, investors, advisors, utilities and strategic partners.
• Build and manage a pipeline of acquisition targets, strategic investments, joint ventures and partnership opportunities aligned with the company's growth objectives.
• Identify new market entry opportunities and support geographic expansion across existing and emerging renewable energy markets.
• Lead the evaluation of investment opportunities, including commercial analysis, market assessment, valuation and financial modelling.
• Prepare investment papers, strategic recommendations and transaction materials for senior management and board‑level decision making.
• Support and lead transaction execution activities including due diligence, structuring, negotiation and closing.
• Monitor market trends, competitive dynamics, policy developments and regulatory changes across key European and North American markets.
• Work closely with legal, finance, technical and executive leadership teams throughout the transaction lifecycle.
• Support post‑acquisition integration and value creation initiatives where appropriate.

• 8–12 years of experience within investment banking, private equity, infrastructure investing, M&A advisory, corporate development or renewable energy investment.
• Demonstrable experience originating, evaluating and executing acquisitions, strategic investments, joint ventures or corporate transactions.
• Strong commercial instincts and a natural ability to develop relationships and identify opportunities.
• Excellent financial modelling, valuation and investment analysis capabilities.
• Knowledge of renewable energy, infrastructure or wider energy transition markets.
• Experience engaging with senior stakeholders including founders, management teams, investors and advisors.
• Exposure to European renewable energy markets is essential, with US market experience highly desirable.
• Strong communication, negotiation and stakeholder management skills.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with the ambition to play a meaningful role in the growth of a leading international renewable energy business.

We are particularly interested in speaking with professionals currently working within:

• Infrastructure Funds
• Investment Banking (Power, Utilities & Infrastructure)
• Corporate Development
• Strategic Investment Teams

This is a rare opportunity to join a market‑leading renewable energy platform and take a hands‑on role in sourcing, evaluating and executing transformational growth opportunities across two of the world's most active renewable energy markets.
