- Strong commercial mindset, including creativity and intuition for opportunities that create impact and commercial success
- Experience selling into senior stakeholders (C-suite, investment committees, board level) in competitive environments
- Strong organizational discipline and a high degree of self-direction; this role requires someone who leads themselves as much as they are led
- Motivated by achieving tangible individual and team commercial targets
- Exceptional communication skills — written, verbal, and in the room — with the confidence to challenge, advise, and build trust at a senior level
- Evidence of strong performance in team-oriented environments
- Intellectual curiosity combined with an eagerness to learn about the energy transition, Aurora, Aurora’s clients and how we can support them
