Overview

We’re looking for a commercially-minded, delivery-focused individual to lead the development of our Grid Faeries proposition — our new portable battery venture and new grid connection project for the outdoor events industry. This role sits at the intersection of strategy, innovation, and execution. You’ll take this idea from early proposition development through to market launch, overseeing product development, operations, and business development efforts for our newly established Grid Faeries business unit. This cross-functional role is critical to driving innovation, operational excellence, and market expansion in this field.

Responsibilities

• Product Development
  • Lead the development of the commercial proposition for Grid Faeries, including market segmentation, value proposition, pricing strategy, and go-to-market model.
  • Define the target customers and use cases, balancing technical feasibility with commercial viability.
  • Establish product roadmaps, define KPIs, and ensure timely, high-quality delivery.
  • Conduct market and competitor analysis to identify growth opportunities.
  • Build the business case and commercial model to support investment and potential scale-up.
• Operations Management
  • Oversee day-to-day operations (including all customer contact) to ensure efficiency, scalability, and profitability.
  • Build and optimise processes across value chain, customer support, and internal systems.
  • Implement data-driven decision-making frameworks and operational dashboards.
  • Manage cross-functional teams to meet performance targets and quality standards.
• Business Development
  • Identify and develop strategic partnerships, routes to market and new revenue channels.
  • Lead go-to-market strategies for Grid Faeries proposition.
  • Negotiate deals and manage key client and partner relationships.
  • Analyse business trends to drive sustainable growth and market penetration.

About You

• Demonstrable experience across product management, operations, and/or business development.
• Proven leadership in cross-functional teams and complex project management.
• Strong analytical, financial, and strategic thinking skills.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management abilities.
• Experience in a startup, high-growth, or tech-driven environment is a plus.
• Commercially sharp: You’ve built or scaled commercial propositions before — ideally in a B2B or infrastructure-heavy setting.
• End-to-end ownership mindset: You’re as comfortable writing a business case as you are pitching a client or solving an ops problem on-site.
• Entrepreneurial but structured: You can work through ambiguity, but you know how to bring order and focus to fast-moving projects.
• Credible operator: You can hold your own with technical, finance, and leadership stakeholders and get things over the line.
• Sector experience (bonus): Energy, renewables, infrastructure, or large-asset B2B sales would be useful, but not essential.
