Join to apply for the Senior Originator Energy markets - Germany role at GIGA Storage

Talent Acquisition | Senior Tech & Data Recruiter a.i. @GIGA Storage & @Squadra | Interim | Freelance | Perm

We believe large-scale energy storage is essential to making the energy transition work. Every day, we help electricity grids stay balanced and resilient as renewable generation continues to grow. Our battery projects replace fossil fuel power plants and create new opportunities in energy markets. We are currently building and operating projects in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. What drives us is a clear mission: to have 2 GW of energy storage projects by 2030 and another 1 GW ready‑to‑build.

We are growing fast and doing so with people who understand the dynamics of green energy trading.

About the role

As our Senior Originator, you step into a role that is both pioneering and highly visible. This is not a place to hide behind process, it’s a hands‑on position where you build the foundation yourself: setting up workflows, shaping commercial strategy, nurturing relationships and directly managing activities. As our Energy Desk grows overtime, you’ll gradually help shaping the team. 💡

You take full ownership of revenue management for all operational batteries in our portfolio for Germany. Your mission: maximize value in a way that is sustainable, balanced and smart, while combining commercial performance with lifecycle management and cost efficiency.

Your key responsibilities include:

• Negotiating PPAs and related contracts with top‑tier trading partners and energy market players in Germany.
• Monitoring and challenging optimizers and traders to ensure our batteries deliver the strongest commercial performance possible.
• Acting as the connective link between financiers, optimizers and internal teams, ensuring every asset reaches its full potential.

This is not a trading seat. Your trading and origination background will help you understand and strategically steer the companies trading on our behalf. You bridge the gap between strategy and execution and always with a strong focus on long‑term value creation.

At Giga Storage, expertise matters, but attitude matters just as much. We’re looking for someone who connects naturally with people, collaborates across teams and departments, and brings clarity and initiative without ego. We’re a hands‑on company doing big things with a relatively small team. 🚀

Why this role?

• A rare opportunity to build an Energy Desk for the German market within Europe’s fastest‑growing BESS company.
• Use all your trading skills, without the stress of a trading floor.
• A hands‑on role today, with the potential to grow into a managerial position overtime as the desk expands.
• Contribute directly to Europe’s energy transition by helping stabilize the grid and enable more renewable energy.

Your profile

You’re a hands‑on energy professional with 5+ years of experience in the German energy market, and you bring:

• Proven experience in flex trading (gas and/or BESS preferred)
• Strong negotiation skills and the confidence to challenge counter parties
• A communicative, collaborative mindset, definitely not a lone wolf
• Living in Germany, Belgium or the Netherlands and willingness to travel to the Netherlands (Amsterdam) on a monthly base.

What we offer

• 🏗️ The chance to shape a new strategic function inside Europe’s #1 BESS company
• 🤝 A collaborative, down‑to‑earth environment where your work has immediate commercial impact
• 🔄 Long‑term career opportunities as our Energy Desk grows

And depending on your working location:

• 💰 A competitive salary that matches the seniority of the role and your experience.
• 🎄 End of Year bonus of 7–9%
• 📈 A performance based bonus plan
• 🎓 A personal development budget of €750 per year
• 🏡 The flexibility to work partly from home
• 🏖️ 28 vacation days and 8% holiday allowance
• 🎉 An ambitious and supportive team where your input truly matters, with an informal atmosphere and short lines of communication.

Why join Giga Storage?

Because we’re on a mission. Every battery we build helps make renewable energy reliable and available 24/7. You’ll join a passionate, entrepreneurial team that’s not afraid to try new things, move fast, and have fun while doing it.
