You’ll grow and learn in a collaborative, safe and supportive environment and play your part in changing the course of tomorrow.

Everyone at AGL is an important part of building a better energy future and we want you to join in.

About the Role:
The Commercial Manager is the key commercial resource for AGL’s Virtual Power Plant (VPP) Operations team. You will be responsible for managing key commercial relationships with customers, suppliers, distribution networks and counterparties. You will lead commercial negotiations and the internal AGL processes required to approve commercial agreements. You will be working closely with a range of stakeholders, including Legal, Origination, Portfolio Analysis, Supply Chain and Procurement, as well as Commercial and Industrial (C&I) Customers.

This role will play a critical role in enabling growth by onboarding new partners, customers, and assets in order to achieve our ambition to grow the DER assets under orchestration to 1.6GW by FY27.

What you’ll be doing:

- Lead negotiations with suppliers, including documentation and implementation of commercial arrangements, with legal support.

- Manage existing agreements with vendors, customers and counterparties
- Identify and develop opportunities for AGL to expand its VPP
- Educate, mentor and develop junior staff on commercial negotiations

About You:
You will ideally have an understanding of the VPP technology and the underpinning value drivers, as well as Australia’s distributed energy resources market, including small scale generation, battery storage and load curtailment. You will be an experienced Commercial Manager that thrives on autonomy and building relationships with internal and external stakeholders.

What you’ll bring to the table:

- Tertiary qualifications in Law, Engineering, Finance or another quantitative discipline
- Experience leading complex negotiations
- Experience developing strategies to balance risk vs return and lower procurement costs
- Demonstrated experience in a technical field such as energy, engineering or technology
- Negotiation, contract development and contract management experience
