Commercial Manager (Part-Time)

Job Description

Ready to drive the commercial success of onshore wind farms while contributing to a greener future? Join Vattenfall as a Part-Time Commercial Manager in Denmark and take the lead on contract negotiations, supplier relationships, and financial planning for our renewable energy assets. You will collaborate with a dynamic, cross-border team of experts committed to operational excellence and sustainability.

You will join our Onshore Operations Team, part of Business Area (BA) Wind, which develops, constructs, and operates onshore wind farms—as well as other renewable energy activities—across multiple countries. Our onshore wind assets are situated in the UK, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Denmark. The Commercial Managers in each country form a virtual empowered team (VET), providing cross-border commercial and contractual support to ensure operational excellence and profitability.

Be in your element with BA Wind

Our wind, solar and batteries business offers a unique opportunity to be in your element working to help harness the forces which will take us to fossil freedom.

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 also 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.

Your role

As a Commercial Manager supporting our Danish Wind Farms, you will be responsible for driving commercial performance, maintaining essential contracts, and ensuring all stakeholders adhere to strong governance practices. Working part-time (three days per week), you will partner closely with operational teams, suppliers, and various internal departments such as Procurement and Finance. You will play a pivotal role in shaping commercial strategies, handling insurance claims, and providing input to financial business plans—ensuring that all commercial aspects of our onshore assets align with Vattenfall’s overall policy and procedures. In addition to supporting the Danish portfolio, you will collaborate with our international Commercial VET on cross-country initiatives and process improvements that enhance the operational and commercial integrity of our wind farms.

Key Responsibilities:

Contract & Commitment Management

• Ensure proper contractual coverage for service agreements, landowner leases, and ad hoc requirements.
• Negotiate new agreements or renewals/extensions in collaboration with Procurement.
• Manage variations, amendments, claims, warranties, and contractual communications.

Commercial Governance & Performance

• Monitor contractual KPIs and support the operational teams in following correct procurement and governance practices.
• Oversee insurance aspects, including claims management and external renewals.
• Provide concise reporting on commercial performance and risks to senior management.

Stakeholder Engagement & Collaboration

• Contribute to central commercial initiatives and refine commercial processes as needed.
• Serve as an active member of the Commercial VET, supporting other countries’ operations when required.

Financial & Business Planning

• Provide input to financial business plans and budgets.
• Lead on ad hoc commercial topics, ensuring timely delivery of recommendations and decisions.

Your profile

You are a commercially driven professional who excels at balancing contractual obligations, financial targets, and stakeholder engagement. Your experience in large industrial projects—preferably within renewables or similarly complex sectors—has honed your negotiation skills and attention to detail. You are comfortable making decisions under tight deadlines and remain solution-oriented when addressing contractual, operational, or supplier-related challenges. An excellent communicator in both Danish and English, you enjoy collaborating with multicultural teams and influence outcomes through evidence-based reasoning. You thrive in a setting where proactive HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) considerations are integral to all business decisions, and you take pride in delivering high-quality results.

Next to this, you bring:

Education:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a commercial, financial, business, economics, or related field.

Experience:

• 3-5 years in commercial management or contract management, ideally within renewables, oil & gas, or similar industrial settings.

• Ability to manage insurance claims and handle complex contractual communications.

Language & Communication:

• Fluent in Danish and English, with strong interpersonal skills to foster cross-functional collaboration.
