About the Role
We are looking for an AM Operations Director to build the operating structure around Asset Management as OEGEN continues to grow and manage increasingly complex assets. The role focuses on ensuring consistent execution of fundamental tasks, reducing the need for senior intervention, and taking ownership of cross-functional initiatives. The successful candidate will ensure OEGEN's scale benefits investors by identifying issues early, holding suppliers accountable, and implementing lessons learned across the portfolio. They will also support Asset Management leadership in developing a high-performance culture and adapting the asset management approach to evolving market conditions, regulations, and technology.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain the core operating framework for Asset Management, including clear standards, ownership, governance, and reporting across funds, assets, and platforms.
- Oversee governance, directorships, and other Asset Management governance arrangements.
- Act as the senior Asset Management representative for data and reporting systems, ensuring tools and processes meet business requirements and are adopted effectively.
- Drive consistent implementation of the supplier and contractor performance framework, including contractor management standards, supplier reviews, competency assessment, PQQ, and KYC processes.
- Oversee supplier onboarding and assurance processes, ensuring they are practical, proportionate, and consistently applied.
- Own the Asset Management risk-management framework and consolidated risk reporting, improving visibility, escalation, and follow-through on material risks.
- Lead the lessons-learned and continuous-improvement process, ensuring recurring issues are translated into changes to standards, guidance, and working practices.
- Provide oversight of key central processes that rely on Asset Management input, including precedent contract management, assumption books, and other investment or operational standards.
- Identify where changing market conditions, technology, or operating models require Asset Management to adapt, and develop practical proposals to support that change.
Requirements
- Senior Manager or Director level with 10-15 years of experience in renewable energy or comparable physical infrastructure.
- Experience in asset management, followed by experience in a portfolio operations, transformation, operational excellence, or COO-type role.
- A track record of building or improving portfolio-wide processes and operating frameworks, not solely managing individual assets.
- Demonstrable delivery of systems such as contractor governance, operational risk reporting, supplier assurance, management information, or cross-functional improvement programs.
- Strong understanding of how renewable assets are operated, including third-party asset management, key suppliers, contractual frameworks, operational risks, and governance requirements.
- Commercial judgment and pragmatism: able to distinguish between controls that genuinely protect value and unnecessary bureaucracy.
- Experience working across technical, finance, legal, data, fund management, and investment teams, with the credibility to challenge and influence senior stakeholders.
- Strong program-delivery skills, with the ability to turn broad priorities into clear owners, milestones, decisions, and evidence of adoption.
- Comfortable working in a hands-on role, including resolving detail where needed, while retaining the judgment to focus effort on the issues that matter most.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain operational issues and recommendations clearly to senior management, Boards, and investors.
