Commercial Structuring Manager (m/f/d)

Terralayr

Berlin, Germany

Who we are - Our Mission
terralayr addresses the massive deficit in global energy storage.
The over-indexing of electricity generation from renewable energy sources leads to large volatility on the energy grid. The main problem is that wind and solar farms are fluctuating and, by definition, unsteady—there is no sun at night, and it is not always windy. This increases the need for flexibility in the form of battery storage systems to balance the grid in times when supply and demand do not match.
By buying and developing grid-scale storage assets and virtually aggregating them across a layer, we are creating the world's first energy cloud. Imagine AWS for energy. Through the flexibility we secure, we can market flexibility-as-a-service and hedging products/power insurance to utilities, SMEs, and industrial players and create virtual storage capacity for PV and wind farms.
What we are hiring for - Your Role
As Commercial Structuring Manager (m/f/d), you drive our most complex customer deals from “qualified lead” to signing. You structure bankable, risk-aligned commercial terms and run the cross-functional deal process across Sales, Finance/Risk, Legal, and Product, turning first-time complexity into repeatable templates and playbooks.
What you will work on - Your Responsibilities
  • Own commercial structuring for complex deals (e.g., tolling contracts, route-to-market service agreements), from qualified lead and term sheet drafting to LFA signing
  • Lead cross-functional deal execution, ensuring critical inputs and back-to-back alignment of Finance/Risk, Legal, Product, and technical stakeholders land on time
  • Establish execution discipline in deal-making (timeline management, decision logs, open points tracking), so the deal owner can focus on steering the commercial process
  • Create and continuously improve repeatable offering structures, templates, and playbooks covering the majority of recurring deal types
  • Ensure alignment of new and existing service supplier contracts with our commercial offerings
What we are looking for - Your Qualifications
  • Experience in multi-stakeholder deal work incl. commercial and financial structuring
  • Previous exposure to complex infrastructure or energy contracts is a plus
  • Legal and technical affinity, comfortable with physical, mathematical, and contractual concepts and vocabulary
  • Excellent critical thinking, you can integrate multiple perspectives and challenge assumptions constructively
  • Proven cross-functional stakeholder management (Sales, Finance/Risk, Legal, Tech, Assets), and ability to work with external advisors when needed
  • High execution discipline and prioritization under time pressure, you get things done and keep deals moving
  • Strong risk awareness and pragmatic judgement, you can balance rigor with commercial reality
  • Negotiation and arbitration skills, you can bridge seemingly conflicting positions internally and externally
  • Energy market experience, you understand the stakeholders, processes, and language of the space
  • Fluent in German and English

  • Work for a company with a clear mission: A world powered by 100% renewable energy
  • Have impact from day 1: Your contribution will not only have a positive impact on society; by joining our small and nimble team, your work will make a difference from day one.
