Country Manager – France (Paris)
Paris | Wind, Solar & AgriPV
I'm currently collaborating with a leading Independent Power Producer in the renewable energy space, who are hiring for a Country Manager – France, based in Paris. The company is active across Wind, Solar, and AgriPV, with a strong focus on wind projects and ambitious growth plans in the French market.
This is a newly created, exclusive position, offering the right person a key leadership role in shaping the company’s footprint across France.
About the Role
This is a strategic and hands-on position for someone with strong development experience and the ability to lead and build high-performing teams. Ideally, you will have exposure to the full project lifecycle – including development, construction, financing/offtake, and operations – but development and team leadership experience is an absolute must.
Key Responsibilities
* Drive and oversee the development of renewable energy projects in France, particularly wind (but also solar and agriPV).
* Develop and execute strategies for project origination, permitting, land acquisition, interconnection, and offtake.
* Build and lead a local team, ensuring delivery against project and company milestones.
* Support or lead efforts across the full value chain: from early-stage development through to construction and operations (depending on your background).
* Act as the key representative for the company in France – including partner/stakeholder relationships, local authorities, and wider industry events.
* Collaborate with international teams across legal, finance, and technical functions.
What We're Looking For
* Proven track record in renewable energy development (5–10+ years), ideally with IPPs or developers.
* Experience in leading teams and managing projects from early-stage through to financial close or COD.
* Exposure to multiple areas of the value chain (construction, financing, operations) is highly desirable.
* Entrepreneurial mindset, strong commercial acumen, and strategic thinking.
* Fluent in French and English.
* Engineering, environmental, or business background (MSc or MBA preferred but not essential).
This is a unique chance to step into a country-level leadership position with a rapidly growing player in the European renewables market.
