BESS Revenue Optimizer
Are you a battery storage expert eager to shape how renewable energy assets maximize their value across Europe?
Fantastic, welcome to Alight! We're an entrepreneurial scale-up with a strong purpose: to kick carbon off the grid by helping businesses save money with solar from day one. As one of Europe’s leading solar independent power producers, we’re rapidly expanding into battery storage – not only to generate revenue but to enhance our PPA products and manage portfolio risk.
This is where you come in. As our BESS Revenue Optimizer, you’ll be Alight’s go-to expert on the full battery revenue stack – from ancillary services and energy arbitrage to hybrid solar + storage setups. Your insights will be foundational for investment decisions, commercial structuring, and ongoing asset performance. This is an opportunity to truly shape Alight’s battery storage strategy and make a lasting impact on the energy transition.
Your impact
In this role, you will model and evaluate how BESS assets generate value, ensuring our solar and storage projects meet the highest commercial standards. You’ll collaborate closely with our PPA, sales, and investment teams to integrate storage solutions into client offerings and optimize performance in merchant markets. Over time, you’ll help us define best practices for operating and dispatching batteries across Europe, driving the long-term success of our portfolio.
KEY OBJECTIVES & RESPONSIBILITIES

Identify, select, and manage optimization partners (BSPs) to ensure high performance
Oversee BSP operations and dispatch strategies for optimal asset performance
Act as Alight’s internal battery revenue expert, tracking market and regulatory developments
We’re looking for you
We believe you’re an experienced battery or energy markets professional who thrives at the intersection of technology, commercial strategy, and operations. You have hands-on experience optimizing BESS assets and a strong understanding of how market dynamics and dispatch decisions drive returns.
Whether you’re currently leading optimization for a utility, trader, or IPP – or you’re a commercial battery expert ready for a bigger platform – what matters most is your passion for renewable energy and your ability to turn battery data into business value.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- 3 - 6 years of experience in the energy sector, with hands-on with BESS, energy markets, or trading
Proven experience operating or optimizing grid-connected batteries in active power markets
Deep understanding of revenue stacking: arbitrage, ancillary services, frequency containment, solar load shifting
Strong analytical and commercial mindset, able to connect technical performance with financial outcomes
Experience managing BSPs or working with control rooms/trading desks
Solid knowledge of battery degradation, dispatch optimization, and risk management in merchant markets
Advanced Excel skills; Python/R or Power BI is a strong plus
Clear communicator, collaborative team player, and proactive problem solver

To ensure we attract the best talent out there, we don't limit ourselves to a specific location. Alighters are based across Europe and our diverse backgrounds and skills complement each other well.
We know that having a diverse team drives better collective decisions and superior business performance. Today our gender split is 44/56, with 15 nationalities and employees in 6 countries.

At Alight, you’ll be a part of an entrepreneurial culture in which you’re encouraged to “think like an owner,” which means that we trust you to call the shots and excel in your role. Many Alighters are also shareholders, and we believe in giving our employees incentives to create the best possible impact.
Historically we’ve regularly had warrant/option programs that give our employees the option to own a part of Alight. We also give our employees the option to buy shares when the opportunity arises (e.g. when any of our owners sells shares, we're not a listed company).

As an Alighter, you’ll have 30 days of paid vacation and the option to exchange public holiday days for other days off. We also offer market-leading insurance programs for all our employees, together with an annual wellness allowance of €500 (5000 SEK).

While we take our role in driving the green transition seriously, we know how to have fun. We believe that a positive team spirit enhances our collective impact. Some examples of planned activities are Friday breakfast every second week, Guest lecturers with dinner, team dinners, and sports activities. But there are also a lot of spontaneous activities driven by our employees!
Each quarter we also have "Alight Next," our company-wide meetup, a two-day strategy day with workshops, lectures, and team building in which we focus on the next quarter. We also always have some fun activities planned during those meetup days, examples being ski trips, sailing, dinners, and parties
