Short Facts

We want to drive the energy transition forward. Large-scale battery storage systems (BESS) are a key element of the future energy infrastructure. They play a major role in managing the volatility of renewable energies, as they can provide the energy system with the flexibility it urgently needs. 
With our AI-powered, fully automated optimization and trading platform for large-scale battery storage, we ensure that energy is stored when it is abundant and fed back into the grid when it is needed. This relieves the power grid, which is coming under increasing pressure due to the expansion of renewable energies. Through the active trading of electricity, we also counteract the strong price fluctuations that green energies bring with them. 
Join us on our journey: to drive the intelligent and sustainable energy future forward, we need you! As Origination Manager (d/f/m), you will originate and negotiate offtake agreements with offtake partners like utilities, BESS asset owners, investors and financing banks and work closely with our product and sales teams to ensure that market insights flow into our offering.
