Originator

Are you ready to shape the future of the energy transition through portfolio innovation? Join Essent, part of the E.ON Group. As an Originator, you play a key role in identifying and executing transactions that reduce risk and/or create value for Essent and the wider E.ON Group. You’ll work from our office in Den Bosch, with a primary focus on the Dutch market, whilst keeping an international focus by collaborating closely with colleagues across Europe.

As our in-house expert, you will:

• Further grow Essent´s and E.ON`s sourcing and origination activities and contribute value by identifying opportunities and executing complex transactions, particularly in wind and solar, flexibility, and structured products in a variety of energy products (electricity, gas, green, weather, and cross-commodity).
• Negotiate new contracts and ensure operational excellence in their management and execution.
• Unite and leverage the expertise of colleagues across departments and countries (UK/DE/NL).
• Work closely with Essent`s and E.ON’s portfolio management and other front office departments to preserve and grow the value of our portfolio.
• Lead and coordinate internal stakeholders (Risk, Portfolio Management, Trading, Finance, Legal, etc.) in the structuring, valuation, and approval of transactions. Act as a thought leader and knowledge carrier on sustainable energy within and outside the organization.

You are the key link between energy market players and internal E.ON stakeholders. You work independently, initiate your own projects, and expand your professional network. You share a clear vision and proactively optimize organizational structures and processes.

We’re looking for team players and go-getters who want to make the Netherlands a bit more sustainable. Who looks at what is possible now. To bring us closer to tomorrow. You recognise yourself in this and in the following:

• Master’s degree level (WO) in a (business) economics or technical field, with a strong affinity for sustainable energy.
• At least 5+ years of relevant experience in a similar role, preferably in the energy sector, consultancy, trading, finance, or insurance. Less experienced? We’d still love to hear from you!
• Experienced networker who is able to develop and keep up excellent relationships with all relevant external stakeholders (Counterparties, Industry Associations, etc.)
• Deep knowledge of the energy market and transition, including fundamental, market, and technological trends.
• International experience is a plus.
• Strong commercial and analytical skills, innovative mindset, quality- and results-driven.
• Fluent in Dutch and English.

Competencies we value:

• Analytical thinking to translate market intel and data into actionable insights.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to translate complex information to stakeholders at all levels.
• Passion for knowledge sharing between local and regional teams.
• Organizational awareness and ability to advise on products, customers, and pricing in multidisciplinary and international contexts.
• Market-driven attitude and strong business acumen.
• Performance-driven, with a track record in international business development

The ideal candidate for this position has above-average talent for analytical thinking, decision-making, collaboration and result orientation.

We appreciate and value the energy and motivation you put into your work so that we can be the best energy partner for our customers. We show this by providing a nice employment package. We offer you:

• A job in which you can use your expertise to contribute to the sustainability of the Netherlands!
• A gross monthly salary, depending on your experience between €5.807 and €9.656.
• A flexible benefit budget that you can save every month as desired, have it paid out or use for leave. This budget consists of the value of 8% holiday pay, 1.8% benefit contribution, 10 extra-statutory days off.
• An annual appealing commercial bonus.
• A discount on your energy bill and on all products of our service partners (solar panels, heat pump, maintenance, etc.).
• A beautiful headquarters within walking distance of Den Bosch Central Station, featuring a great coffee bar, a company restaurant, and free fresh fruit. 
• An NS Business Card for commuting or a mileage allowance. You decide.
• You can follow training programs, courses, and education at our expense. 
• Have international ambitions? As part of the E.ON Group, we offer plenty of development opportunities within other E.ON countries.
• And last but not least: an environment in which you can really be yourself. For us, all that matters is who you are and what you can do. So, feel free to leave out your gender, nationality and/or age on your CV.
