About
About Baringa:
We set out to build the world’s most trusted consulting firm – creating lasting impact for clients and pioneering a positive, people-first way of working. We work with everyone from FTSE 100 names to bright new start-ups, in every sector.
You’ll find us collaborating shoulder-to-shoulder with our clients, from the big picture right down to the detail: helping them define their strategy, deliver complex change, spot the right commercial opportunities, manage risk, or bring their purpose and sustainability goals to life. Our clients love how we get to know what makes their organisations tick – slotting seamlessly into their teams and being proudly geeky about solving their challenges.
We have hubs in Europe, the US, Asia and Australia, and we work all around the world - from a wind farm in Wyoming to a boardroom in Berlin. Find us wherever there's a challenge to be tackled and an impact to be made.
Our Market Access practice are looking for an experienced Consultant to join the team.
The energy transition is accelerating engagement in, access to, and evolution of energy markets globally. Monetisation of Renewables and Flexible Generation & Trading is a central theme for decarbonisation of global grids and energy markets. Every single energy trader, energy supplier, asset developer and network operator must understand how their role will change and their business models adapt to remain successful.
Our Market Access Team helps energy market participants translate strategy into operational reality – enabling them to implement the functional capabilities, processes and systems needed to thrive in dynamic and complex energy markets. As the sector transitions to decarbonised, flexible, and digital operating models, we support clients on the “so what” and “how” of delivering their ambition. That’s where you come in.
We are looking for consultants with a passion for structured problem solving, operating model design, business process definition, and system implementation – all with a strong foundation in energy market operations, trading, or asset management. This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of commercial strategy, business design, and delivery execution – with a deep interest in the systems and structures that power energy businesses.
What You Will Be Doing
You will be collaborating with our clients to:
- Translate strategy into actionable trading, physical power operations and market access capability and solution designs for organisational structure, governance, processes, and capability development.
- Define and implement business operating models for trading, optimisation, or commercial market access teams.
- Lead or contribute to functional and technical requirements gathering for new systems (e.g. optimisation platforms, forecasting tools, energy trading and risk management solutions etc.).
- Run vendor selection processes including RFP development, vendor engagement, scoring, and implementation planning.
- Design business processes across short-term trading, route-to-market operations, or flexibility optimisation.
- Map capabilities and identify gaps across people, process, and technology dimensions.
- Act as an implementation lead or advisor across major change programmes.
- Support integration of new teams, systems, or assets following acquisitions or internal transformation.
- Contribute to internal capability building, proposition development, and market insights.

In addition to this, we have introduced our 5-Year Recharge benefit which allows all employees an additional 2 weeks of paid leave after 5 years continuous service.
