Corporate Development (Venture Energy)

The Job | Your Responsibilities

• Market Development: Conduct research to identify new business opportunities, trends, and generate leads for new projects. Work with the team to turn opportunities and leads into live projects.
• Project Management: Together with the team, own and run specific projects. For example investigating a investment opportunity, negotiating MOUs or LOIs, and developing these through to formal commercial contracts. Support the set-up and development of operating businesses within the Group
• Corporate Set-Up: Figure how new operating businesses can be started, developed, and spun-out. Work with third party management teams to apply Group know-how to emerging opportunities in the renewables space.
• Financing: Assist in the raising of capital both from the Group and third parties. Manage relationships with financial institutions, private investors, and strategic partners. Provide analytical and pitch-book development support, producing quality materials that effectively represent the Group. Help negotiate and execute financing projects.
• Finance Ops: Set-up financial functions for a growth business, and help develop the capabilities required for a trading business.
• Everything Else: Venture Energy is a growth company operating in a fast-developing new industry. Part of your role is supporting projects that arise, plugging gaps no one exists to. Perhaps that’s doing due-diligence on a VC investment, building a comms plan, editing a policy paper, or writing a job description. There are always more jobs than people; you will be responsible for building and shaping the company.

The Challenge | Marine Decarbonisation

90% of the world’s trade moves by sea. That’s approximately 11 billion tonnes of goods; or about 1.5 tonnes per person each year. Today almost all the ships serving this US$14 trillion industry burn fuel oil, a dirty, high-carbon, fuel. This is not sustainable.

The maritime industry is entering a phase of dislocation. EU and IMO rules are forcing shipowners, traders, operators and supply-chain companies to adopt clean fuels for their vessels. By 2050, the shipping industry will be net-zero. Today, almost none of it is.

That means over the next 25 years, the market will need to invest up to US$60 billion per year, every year. To decarbonise our industry will need to build plants, re-engineer ships, develop supply-chains, new infrastructure, and totally re-imagine the services our industry needs. There are vast gaps in our supply chain that need to be filled, and quickly. Venture Energy’s mandate is to plug those gaps.
