Your Role: Driving Commercial Growth at Scale

You’ll take ownership of deal origination, pricing, and structuring across UrbanChain’s expanding UK client base. From large corporates to renewable asset owners, you’ll build strategic relationships and shape our go-to-market approach.

• Deliver on gross margin, portfolio value and revenue targets, supporting P&L growth
• Build localised energy systems using UrbanChain’s proprietary trading platform
• Develop strategic partnerships to expand our reach and accelerate the energy transition
• Collaborate across departments (optimisation, risk, legal, finance, ops) to deliver competitive, risk-managed offerings
• Represent UrbanChain at industry events, roundtables, and thought leadership forums
• Mentor future hires and help shape the commercial function as we scale

What You Bring

• 3–5+ years of experience in energy origination, trading, or B2B supply (power/gas markets)
• Proven record of commercial success, relationship growth, and deal closure
• Deep understanding of energy markets, PPAs, REGO/GoO, and net-zero strategies
• Exposure to working with TPIs, agents, brokers, or large energy consumers
• Commercially strategic, analytically sharp, and passionate about clean energy
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, able to influence senior stakeholders
• Degree in a relevant field (Economics, Engineering, Energy, Finance, etc.)
• Technical acumen – Excel essential, data analytics or coding skills (SQL/Python) a bonus
• Languages such as French, German, Dutch or Spanish are a plus

As UrbanChain continues to scale following recent investment, this is a unique opportunity to join at a pivotal moment of growth. If you’re a strategic relationship builder with a passion for clean technology and making a meaningful impact, we invite you to be part of our journey.
