Connected Energy (CE), a team within Shell New Energies, positions Shell to capture value created by the decentralization of the electricity grid, the emergence of cost-competitive distributed and digitalized technologies and empowerment of customers with respect to their energy choices.

The CE team is responsible for developing and delivering a portfolio of new products, services and business models in the Downstream Energy space aimed at meeting the energy needs of our customers – residential communities, commercial, industrial, cities, airports, ports, eco-districts and mixed-use communities.

Our activity supports and enhances Shell’s current power trading activities and aims to complement the existing sales and origination activities of Shell Energy entities (direct sales to large customers) and their channel partners (indirect sales to residential and small/medium commercial customers).

Working in partnership with our technical support teams, with our finance teams, and with our M&A and corporate support functions, the BD Manager will both build and procure market-leading solutions which enable us to, at a detailed and granular level, quantify the risks and benefits of our investments.

The successful candidate will primarily support the development of Projects in the Americas but may also support wider organization along with the maturity of other initiatives and opportunities across the globe. This role reports to the CE Head of Business Development, Projects & Delivery in the Americas.
