What you will do

As EDF’s new Senior Business Developer you will drive new business growth by developing and managing new market opportunities within the scope of the EDF decarbonisation strategy. This role requires an understanding of the energy sector in Denmark (and Nordics), with an emphasis on building concepts and strategic relationships to expand market presence and enhance EDF’s solution offerings.

EDF is on a growth journey, organically and through M&A’s, and you will play an essential role in mastering this journey with the following areas of responsibility:

• Concept implementation: Formulate and bring to market value-adding solutions across PV, BESS, emobility, ancillary/grid services and other green energy technology for local C&I clients, ensuring they align with EDF strategy, market trends and customer needs.
• Market research and analysis: Perform market research to identify relevant trends and potential areas for growth. Generate strategic insights to help shape EDF Danmark’s offerings and support decision-making processes.
• Stakeholder engagement: Identify, engage, and nurture long-term relationships with key external stakeholders, including B2B clients, potential partners, consultants, suppliers, and industry bodies. Develop a close working relationship with colleagues in Head Office, enabling/creating knowledge sharing and successful collaborations. 
• Project management: Collaborate across teams to integrate technical, financial, and sustainability aspects into proposals and project structures, as well as lead the implementation process of new projects.
• Business cases: Contribute to robust and informed financial modelling. Develop value-adding business cases and present to senior management/colleagues in Head Office. 
• Strategy development: Contribute to the development of strategic plans and roadmaps for growth in all EDF Danmark’s new business areas. Identify and evaluate new business models, revenue streams, and partnership opportunities.
• Representation and networking: Act as an EDF Danmark ambassador and role model at internal and external events. Maintain an active presence in the renewable energy sector to stay informed of advancements, regulatory changes, and emerging trends, sharing relevant insights with internal teams.

You can expect some travel activity within Denmark and occasionally abroad.

• Successful track record in business development or project management roles, preferably within the energy, renewable energy, or technology sectors.
• Relevant engineering or business degree
• Good understanding of (and passion about) energy technologies, trends and markets; ideally with an existing network within the industry in Denmark. Specifically, knowledge about PV and BESS within the C&I space is required.

• Strong analytical abilities with experience in financial modelling, business case development, and market analysis.
• Proven ability to build, manage, and maintain relationships with diverse stakeholders, including in both SMV and corporate environments.
