- Providing guidance to other teams within Integrated Energy, Environmental Energy Trading Team, Power Trading and Treasury Risk, Corporate Development and Finance in relation to carbon origination activities, including influencing and collaborating across business units
- Lead complex and bespoke negotiations, document transactions and implementation of commercial arrangements. Typical transactions will range from $5m to $75m
- Develop business cases to support transactions with the support of the analytical team
- Managing supply agreements existing in the portfolio, including establishing processes to enforce contract specifications and resolve conflict where breaches or non-compliance occur.
- Identify and develop opportunities for AGL to expand its activities in existing markets
- Support may be required occasionally with power and environmental transactions.
About You:
You will ideally have an existing network of strong relationships and a deep understanding of the carbon markets and contracting arrangements through your extensive experience in the commercial carbon sector.
What you’ll bring to the table:
- Tertiary qualifications in Law, Finance, Engineering or another quantitative discipline
- Experience leading large complex negotiations in the carbon market
- The ability to build and maintain strong internal and external relationships at all levels
- Experience developing strategies to balance risk and return and reduce procurement costs
