This is a remote position.
Operating as an extension of senior management in an established energy company, this remote part-time opportunity requires a highly capable professional to take ownership of critical commercial, contractual, and market growth strategies. Working approximately 3–4 hours per day initially, with flexibility to adjust hours in the future by mutual agreement, the position balances strategic autonomy with independent decision-making.
The role is focused on driving operational and commercial excellence by managing contract lifecycles and mitigating commercial risks within business agreements. Simultaneously, it champions business development and customer engagement initiatives to identify new opportunities and implement scalable growth strategies.
This remote position offers a strategic, high-impact environment where sound judgement and practical problem-solving directly influence organisational trajectory. It is an explicitly commercial and strategic role rather than an administrative one.

Market Development: Identify and develop new market opportunities to expand the business footprint and drive strategic growth.
Customer Engagement: Cultivate and manage critical client relationships to strengthen commercial awareness and market positioning.
Strategy Execution: Formulate and execute robust business growth strategies in alignment with corporate objectives.

Requirements
Professional Experience: Proven track record working within medium-sized or large organisations with direct exposure to commercial contracts and business agreements.
Commercial Acumen: Strong experience in sales, market development, and executing successful business growth strategies.
