• Supporting OFGEM audits and ensuring regulatory compliance
• Reviewing documentation for new energy sites

• Detail-driven, commercially minded, and confident challenging unclear terms
• Comfortable working with senior stakeholders
• Bonus: experience with procurement agreements, financial models, or audits

• Real influence from day one
• High visibility with senior leadership
• Variety, ownership, and the chance to shape commercial decisions
