1 month ago

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Baringa Partners Full time
Our Team

We are seeking an experienced energy-industry focused Strategic or Commercial Advisor to join our team at Baringa Partners.

Australia's energy sector is undergoing significant change, and our clients face the corporate world's biggest challenges while delivering society's most crucial project – the energy transition. We help them shape their decarbonisation strategy, secure their energy needs, invest in future energy technologies, capture market opportunities, and manage risks to reach society's biggest goal.

What You Will Be Doing
  • You will work at the forefront of the energy sector, leading teams of consultants to have an impact on the market and shape the energy transition in Australia and beyond.
  • You will be trusted by senior stakeholders in the foremost energy companies, policymakers, regulators, investors, developers, and industry players across the energy supply chain.
  • You will lead consulting engagements – using your expertise to scope projects, manage junior team members, and build client relationships to have a lasting impact on the teams you work with.
  • You will be part of a Senior Management Team, and be responsible for business development, shaping the business strategy, and maintaining a market-leading culture.
  • Some recent examples of projects include:
Energy Transition
  • Working with developers of large infrastructure and green fuel projects to commercially-optimise the design, quantify demand for new products, and supply chain constraints.
  • Supporting a new entrant retailer from strategy and business plan through to product development, business set-up, and trading system selection.
  • Working with market participants and regulators to quantify the value of behind-the-meter generation and define the products and business models which allow market participants to realise this value.
  • Defining investment portfolio strategy and offtake options for large-scale renewable and storage projects, from PPAs to pricing flexible contract structures, assessing the impact of contracting options on gross margins and risk.
  • Working with Distribution Network Operators to define strategic and operational model changes required with the increasing penetration of distributed renewable energy, feeding into market design and business implications.
Decarbonisation
  • Developing decarbonisation strategies for large corporate consumers – including renewable energy contracting, carbon offsetting strategies, new technology appraisal, and an actionable implementation roadmap.
  • Helping businesses better measure, understand, and manage their Scope 1-3 emissions under different future climate scenarios, to then develop appropriate decarbonisation strategies.
  • Strategy for decarbonisation of hard-to-abate industries – including commercial strategy, marginal carbon abatement cost curves, and delivery plans.
Your Skills and Experience
  • You have experience of at least 8 years within the energy market, carbon markets, or green fuels industry, ideally gained within Australia.
  • You have commercial advisory experience gained either in industry (for example, within internal strategy or commercial teams), or as a consultant to the energy industry.
  • You possess an entrepreneurial mindset and are passionate about being part of our culture and building a team, in a rapidly growing environment.
  • You are just as passionate about your own development, and that of your team, as you are about the industry.
  • You are confident in engaging directly with leadership teams within wholesale markets (electricity or carbon), risk, strategy, and trading functions to link market experience with detailed quantitative analysis and provide advice grounded in facts.
