Full Job Description

  • Build and maintain the core operating framework for Asset Management, including clear standards, ownership, governance and reporting across funds, assets and platforms
  • Oversee governance, directorships and other Asset Management governance arrangements
  • Act as the senior Asset Management representative for data and reporting systems, ensuring tools and processes meet business requirements and are adopted effectively. This is not a technical product-owner role
  • Drive consistent implementation of the supplier and contractor performance framework, including the contractor management standard, supplier reviews, competency assessment, PQQ and KYC processes
  • Oversee supplier onboarding and assurance processes, ensuring they are practical, proportionate and consistently applied
  • Own the Asset Management risk-management framework and consolidated risk reporting, improving visibility, escalation and follow-through on material risks
  • Lead the lessons-learned and continuous-improvement process, ensuring recurring issues are translated into changes to standards, guidance and working practices
  • Provide oversight of key central processes that rely on Asset Management input, including precedent contract management, assumption books and other investment or operational standards
  • Identify where changing market conditions, technology or operating models require Asset Management to adapt, and develop practical proposals to support that change

    Senior Manager or Director level, with 10-15 years' experience in renewable energy or comparable physical infrastructure
  • Experience in asset management, followed by experience in a portfolio operations, transformation, operational excellence or COO-type role
  • A track record of building or improving portfolio-wide processes and operating frameworks - not solely managing individual assets
  • Demonstrable delivery of systems such as contractor governance, operational risk reporting, supplier assurance, management information or cross-functional improvement programmes
  • Strong understanding of how renewable assets are operated, including third-party asset management, key suppliers, contractual frameworks, operational risks and governance requirements
  • Commercial judgement and pragmatism: able to distinguish between controls that genuinely protect value and unnecessary bureaucracy
  • Experience working across technical, finance, legal, data, fund-management and investment teams, with the credibility to challenge and influence senior stakeholders
  • Strong programme-delivery skills, with the ability to turn broad priorities into clear owners, milestones, decisions and evidence of adoption
  • Comfortable working in a hands-on role, including resolving detail where needed, while retaining the judgement to focus effort on the issues that matter most
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain operational issues and recommendations clearly to senior management, Boards and investors
