Insurance & Risk Specialist (m/f/d)

About Enery

At Enery, we’re powering the future…literally.

We are an independent renewable energy provider dedicated to delivering reliable, affordable, and long-term green energy to our customers. We have scaled rapidly to over 1.1 GW of operating capacity, with a development pipeline of close to 10 GW across around 10 CEE countries — alongside a leading position in revenue optimization for utility-scale renewable and storage assets. Present in 10 countries across Central and Eastern Europe, our reach reflects our commitment to making a meaningful climate impact across the region.

But we’re more than just energy and infrastructure. With a diverse, multidisciplinary team representing over 30 nationalities, we value transparency, ownership, and continuous learning. We move fast, collaborate across disciplines, and celebrate wins, big and small, together.

At Enery, ESG isn’t a checkbox. It’s embedded into every decision we make, from project development and construction to long-term operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the annual renewal cycle across Enery's insurance programme — prepare submissions, run tenders, and negotiate terms and pricing directly with carriers as well as through brokers, in all seven markets.
• Challenge broker recommendations and remuneration, bringing transparency to commissions embedded in premiums and ensuring Enery buys the coverage it needs and nothing it doesn't.
• Align insurance coverage with contractual obligations across EPC, O&M, PPA, and financing agreements — moving from an agreement-by-agreement approach to a portfolio-wide view.
• Maintain a liability gap register: identify uncovered exposures, close them through insurance where sensible, and document the rationale where a gap is knowingly accepted.
• Support M&A and project acquisitions by accelerating insurance due diligence, delivering a consistent internal assessment rather than relying solely on advisors with an interest in the outcome.
• Manage claims end to end, from notification through to settlement, and act as the internal point of contact for lenders, EPC contractors, and technical advisors on insurance matters.
• Contribute to broader Group Finance topics beyond insurance, as agreed with the Head of Finance/CFO.

Key Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Business, Finance, Law, Risk Management, Engineering, or a related field. A professional insurance qualification (e.g. Versicherungskaufmann/-frau, CII, ARM, or equivalent) is an advantage.
• Minimum 3–5 years of professional experience at an insurance carrier — underwriting in property, engineering, construction, or liability lines preferred — or in a specialist insurance brokerage. Exposure to renewable energy, infrastructure, or real estate risks is a strong plus.
• Working understanding of how insurance requirements are embedded in commercial contracts (EPC, O&M, PPA) and project finance documentation, or the confidence to build it quickly.
• Professional proficiency in English (C1); German is an advantage. Additional CEE languages (Czech, Slovak, Polish, Bulgarian, Romanian) are welcome but not required.
• Demonstrated ability to coordinate external advisors, brokers, and carriers alongside multidisciplinary, cross-border internal teams.
• Strong communication and negotiation skills, with the ability to hold a position against experienced counterparties — brokers, underwriters, lenders' advisors, and EPC contractors — and to translate insurance topics into plain language for internal stakeholders.
• Strong entrepreneurial mindset with a proactive, hands-on approach, a high degree of ownership, and a willingness to question established market practice rather than accept it.
• Very good command of Microsoft Excel for premium, exposure, and cost analysis, alongside Word and PowerPoint.
• Willingness to travel occasionally within Austria and the CEE region (site visits, carrier and broker meetings). Category B driving licence an advantage.
