In this position, you will spearhead the European Energy procurement category, emphasizing your expertise in energy—particularly in renewable generation, energy sourcing, market structures, legislation, and emerging technologies. Your specialized knowledge of the energy sector will be crucial for success as you develop and implement energy-related strategies across European sites, promote sustainable and cost-efficient energy solutions, and collaborate with various partners.

The Role

You will serve as the organization’s energy subject-matter expert, leveraging your extensive understanding of the European energy landscape and renewables. Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Developing and executing the European energy procurement strategy, ensuring alignment with sustainability objectives and operational requirements.
• Conducting thorough analyses of energy markets, focusing on regulations, pricing drivers, infrastructure dynamics, and supplier capabilities.
• Leading strategic sourcing initiatives for energy, including renewable supply contracts, cPPAs, self-generation opportunities, and energy efficiency solutions.
• Guiding major projects such as the execution of the European energy sourcing strategy, smart-metering implementation, feasibility assessments for self-generation, and regional supplier consolidation.
• Building and maintaining strong relationships with energy suppliers, technology partners, regulators, and internal technical teams.
• Supporting innovation by identifying emerging energy solutions and market opportunities.
• Collaborating with Real Estate, Engineering, Sustainability, and HSEQ teams to design and implement energy initiatives.
• Leading strategic contract management and negotiating energy agreements based on commercial, technical, and regulatory considerations.
• Overseeing cost-optimization activities while ensuring compliance and alignment with long-term strategic goals.
• Conducting supplier evaluations, risk assessments, performance reviews, and site visits as needed.

Requirements

• Strong understanding of the energy sector, including renewable energy, sourcing models, infrastructure, regulatory frameworks, and market trends.
• Proven experience in energy procurement, energy strategy, or a technical/market-focused energy role.
• Ability to evaluate and negotiate energy contracts from both commercial and technical perspectives.
• Experience with projects related to self-generation, smart metering, power purchase agreements (including cPPAs), or similar energy initiatives.
• Familiarity with European energy legislation and regional differences in market design.
• Comfort working with technical data, cost drivers, and market analytics to support decision-making.
• Strong stakeholder-management skills across diverse, international environments.
• Clear communication skills and the ability to simplify complex energy topics for non-experts.
• Analytical and strategic mindset, capable of translating market insights into actionable procurement strategies.
• Relevant qualifications in energy, engineering, procurement, or a related discipline (e.g., CIPS/NEVI is beneficial but not essential if strong energy expertise is present).
• Willingness to travel within Europe (approximately 10%).
• Proficiency in English; additional languages are a plus.
