Strategic Context

Eneve is entering its next phase of growth as a European energy technology and consultancy group. Alongside a strong software business rooted in EBASE and energy data processing, the Consultancy Business Unit is expanding into the UK, Germany, and Southern Europe.

As clients face increasing regulatory pressure, decentralisation, prosumer integration, and market volatility, they seek partners who can translate market developments into actionable processes, solutions, and implementation roadmaps.

Within this context, the Senior Business Consultant plays a central role in bridging market insight, business process optimisation, operating model design, and Eneve’s software capabilities. This role empowers clients to navigate complexity and supports Eneve in delivering higher-value, chain-oriented consulting services.

Role Overview

As a Senior Business Consultant, you play a central role in delivering high-quality advisory engagements, shaping solution design, and contributing to early product and proposition innovation. You act as a workstream leader and trusted client partner, ensuring that complex problems are translated into clear, actionable solutions.

You combine structured consulting skills, strong energy-market expertise, and the ability to coordinate multi-disciplinary teams across product, technical, and commercial functions. In this role, you own day-to-day delivery for moderate-complexity engagements, lead high-level design activities in sales cycles, and contribute to the maturation of early concepts and propositions.

You also play a key bridging role across the energy value chain—connecting market developments, business processes, and (Eneve) software capabilities (including EBASE and our data-driven energy platforms) to ensure clients receive both strategic clarity and executable change.

This position is ideal for someone with strong analytical rigor, client-facing and team lead experience.
