Are you a Project Finance professional looking to take greater ownership of renewable-energy financing and transaction activity? Do you bring experience across Wind, PV or BESS, with the confidence to work directly with banks and commercial counterparties?

The Opportunity

I am partnered with an established renewable energy business which is strengthening its Project Finance capability in Germany.

This role offers broad, hands-on exposure across financing and transaction processes for renewable-energy projects. You will work closely with internal teams, German banks and external stakeholders, supporting the commercial and financial execution of projects while building greater ownership over time.

Frankfurt is the primary location. Candidates based elsewhere in Germany or Austria may be considered where they can travel and work within a practical flexible hybrid arrangement.

Key Responsibilities

• Support financing activity across German renewable-energy projects.
• Work across onshore wind and solar PV projects, with BESS exposure also highly relevant.
• Contribute to project sales and wider sell-side transaction processes.
• Liaise with German banks, financial institutions and external counter parties.
• Support the commercial and financial execution of projects.
• Take increasing ownership across financing processes and transaction activity.
• Work closely with an established Project Finance function and wider internal stakeholders.

About You

• Bachelor’s degree minimum; a Master’s degree would be advantageous.
• Approximately three to five or more years’ relevant Project Finance experience within renewable energy.
• Experience across onshore wind, solar PV and/or BESS.
• Project sales or sell-side renewable-energy transaction exposure would be particularly valuable.
• Comfortable working independently and taking hands-on responsibility.
• Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills, particularly with banks and financial counterparties.
• Fluent German at C1 level or equivalent is essential.
