Job Description

As part of BA Wind you will play a key role in one of the most exciting pipelines in the industry with 24GW of capacity stretching out more than a decade ahead across our key European markets.

You won't only be involved in developing projects but pioneering cutting-edge innovation, new business models and ways of working with communities and the environment. Working as part of a leading European utility also means you could be helping a growing number of major businesses and brands achieve their own sustainability goals through partnerships.

Do you want to help shape the commercial foundation of fossil‑free energy?

We are now offering an exciting opportunity as a Commercial Manager, where you'll help support Vattenfall's assets and partners on the journey toward a fossil‑free future.

As a Commercial Manager, you will join the Commercial Management team, and within it, the Commercial Operations team - a function dedicated to strengthening O&M commercial maturity, optimizing contract coverage, ensuring compliance, and driving continuous cost improvements across our assets.

In this role, you support the day‑to‑day commercial operations of minimum two offshore sites and act as a key point of contact for contractual and commercial matters within Generation. You contribute to managing operational contracts - from facility lease agreements to technician service contracts - ensuring clear oversight, strong governance, and smooth execution across stakeholders.

You provide commercial insights, structured analysis, and contract follow‑up that help sites deliver on their operational plans and business targets. A key part of the role is contributing to the continuous improvement and standardization of commercial processes, identifying cost‑saving opportunities, and supporting the team's ambition to enhance commercial performance across the organisation.

By joining Commercial Operations, you become part of a team committed to operational excellence, contractual robustness, and ongoing optimisation of day‑to‑day commercial activities. The team's main target is to ensure that our contractual landscape is well‑managed, compliant, and cost‑efficient - enabling our sites to operate reliably, safely, and profitably.

What will you do?

As a Commercial Manager, you will be a key commercial partner to Site Management and an integral member of the Commercial Management and Commercial Operations teams. You will help ensure smooth, compliant and commercially robust operations across our offshore assets by providing commercial insight, contractual guidance and proactive stakeholder support. You will independently manage defined scopes of work while strengthening commercial governance, contract performance and cost efficiency across the sites.
