Role: Head of Energy Procurement & Flexibility
Location: London (Hybrid – 3 days on-site)
Salary: £DOE
Overview
We are working with a fast-growing energy and sustainability consultancy supporting large UK real estate portfolios to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions.
The business delivers an integrated approach that combines energy procurement, demand-side optimisation, and flexibility services. By aligning intelligent supply contracts with active energy management — including BMS control, load shifting, batteries, and grid services — clients achieve better financial and carbon outcomes than with traditional procurement-only models.
This role will lead the development and delivery of energy procurement and flexibility services across the UK market.
The Role
As Head of Energy Procurement & Flexibility, you will be responsible for building and running a market-leading procurement and demand management offering for commercial real estate clients.

* Apply tenant recharge methodologies and pricing strategies where relevant
Measurement & Verification
* Integrate procurement outcomes with energy data and reporting platforms
* Work with engineering and data teams to reconcile consumption data with billing
* Verify savings and performance against contract expectations
* Produce clear, ESG-aligned reporting for clients
Flexibility & Asset Integration
* Understand how demand-side flexibility, batteries, and distributed generation impact procurement decisions
* Support the valuation and monetisation of flexibility through grid services, dynamic tariffs, and peak avoidance
* Identify and develop commercial models for flexibility participation (e.g. virtual power plants, balancing services)
Client Advisory
* Act as a senior advisor to commercial real estate clients
* Present clear insights on market movements, pricing risk, and performance
* Support clients’ net zero strategies, compliance requirements, and long-term energy planning

You will have strong exposure to:
