Role Purpose:

Key Responsibilities:

Asset Rotation Strategy & Execution (Primary Focus: Market Scouting, Client Identification, Transaction Documentation & Negotiation)

• Proactively scout markets and identify target buyers (utilities, IPPs, infrastructure funds, corporates) to shape the selldown/bolton strategy by country/segment.
• Set the endtoend negotiation strategy; lead redlines, coordinate internal approvals, and maintain overall documentation governance and version control.
• Prepare or oversee teasers, process summaries/letters, and all investorfacing transaction materials.
• Build and run the deal execution plan (timeline, owners, critical path, dependencies).
• Stand up and govern the data room (indexing, population, audit trail) and manage investor Q&A.
• Coordinate all duediligence workstreams (technical, legal, financial, land, grid, tax, ESG); consolidate findings into the transaction case.
• Ensure full transactionready documentation, complete, consistent, and aligned with Investment Committee requirements.

Transaction Management & Closing

• Own CPs (conditions precedent), completion accounts, and funds‑flow mechanics; align advisors and internal teams to meet long‑stop dates.
• Deliver on‑time closing with high certainty of execution; manage signing/closing logistics and filings.
• Post‑deal transition: oversee TSA/transition obligations, buyer interface, and clean handovers.
• Risk management & reporting: keep a structured risk/issue log and provide crisp senior‑management reporting.

Internal Leadership & Coordination

• Development: ensure land, grid, and permitting are complete and fully documented; resolve gaps impacting CPs.
• EPC: align commercial close with construction progress, commissioning/testing, H&S deliverables, and evidences tied to CP satisfaction.
• Finance/Strategy/Legal/Tax/ESG: coordinate valuation inputs, investor messaging, SPA/TSA terms, tax structuring, and ESG disclosures.
• Stakeholder alignment: keep the regional MD and central Asset Rotation informed; drive decision clarity and escalation discipline.

What You Bring:

• 10+ years of hands‑on experience in renewables M&A, project finance, transactions, or infrastructure investing (sell‑side execution a plus).
• Proven SPA leadership on late‑stage or operational solar/BESS transactions, including price‑adjustment mechanics, indemnities.
• Strong grasp of EPC interfaces, commissioning milestones, HSE deliverables, and risk allocation in solar/BESS.
• Working familiarity with Italy & EE regulatory frameworks for solar and storage; awareness of grid/land and permitting evidence requirements.
• Negotiation excellence, documentation control, and IC/stakeholder management.
• High execution discipline; able to run multiple transactions in parallel without loss of quality.
• Clear, structured communication; crisp executive updates and problem‑solving under time pressure.
• Languages: Fluent English required.

Nice‑to‑Have:

• Exposure to hybrid configurations (PV+BESS) and merchant/hedged offtake structures.
• Experience with TSA design and post‑closing integration/transition.
• Familiarity with ESG due diligence expectations from institutional buyers.
