BESS Commercial & Revenue Manager

Do you want to join a global leader in renewable energy infrastructure?  If so, CIP Terra Technologies is currently looking for a BESS Commercial & Revenue Manager to join our team in Hamburg, Germany.  

Team
Reporting into the Commercial & BESS Director for EMEA, you will join an experienced commercial team delivering BESS projects across multiple European geographies.

The team’s purpose is to shape and execute bankable commercial strategies that unlock long-term, stable returns from BESS assets - covering the full lifecycle from early feasibility through investment milestones and financial close.

Role

In this role, you will take end-to-end ownership of the commercial structuring and negotiation of BESS Optimisation and Offtake Agreements in Germany. You will manage the full commercial lifecycle from feasibility through to financial close, ensuring bankable contract structures, effective risk management, and strong alignment with the project business case, governance requirements, and long-term value creation objectives.

Responsibilities will consist of but are not limited to:

• Structuring and negotiating BESS Optimisation and Offtake Agreements with optimisers, offtakers, and market counterparties
• Managing the full commercial lifecycle from feasibility through FID, financial close, and preparation for COD
• Identifying, assessing, and mitigating commercial, technical, and legal risks across complex BESS projects
• Aligning internal stakeholders across investment, legal, technical, procurement, tax, and credit functions
• Advising investment committees on market attractiveness, revenue optimisation potential, and commercial risk
• Ensuring contractual structures support long-term stable returns and operational flexibility
• Supporting broader BESS market strategy and portfolio expansion across European markets
• Setting up key commissioning and operational processes (e.g., licences, credit cover, etc.) and supporting asset management activities by monitoring offtaker performance and identifying economic and technical improvement opportunities (e.g., availability improvements, planned downtime management, and new revenue opportunities).

About you

You bring a proven track record in structuring, negotiating, and closing complex commercial agreements in Germany’s BESS, renewables, or power markets, translating opportunities into bankable, investment-ready solutions.

We look for the following in a candidate:

• Strong understanding of BESS revenue mechanisms, including capacity markets, ancillary services, and balancing services
• Experience assessing, allocating, and managing commercial risk across complex infrastructure projects
• Solid financial and analytical capability to evaluate project value, revenue forecasts, and sensitivities
• Ability to collaborate effectively across technical, legal, and investment teams to deliver commercially robust outcomes
• Track record influencing senior stakeholders and supporting investment-level decision making
• Demonstrated success delivering bankable BESS commercial structures and optimisation contracts
• Experience driving projects through key investment and financial milestones, including FID, FC, and COD
