Business Development Manager

Centrica requires access to competitive gas supplies to ensure its core products of retail gas and electricity supply remain competitive. Centrica Energy is responsible for all upstream, energy procurement and risk management activities (which includes LNG) for the group's UK and European energy businesses.
LNG has now become an economic source of gas for both in the UK, Continental Europe and North American markets. Participating in the developing Atlantic basin market for LNG will allow Centrica to manage its gas position across Europe (including UK) and the US.
The Business Development Manager, LNG, reporting to the Director LNG, will contribute to the development of Centrica’s LNG strategy. This will involve a deep understanding of Centrica’s procurement positions in the UK, Europe and the US for retail and fuel procurement purposes. In addition, a thorough knowledge of the rapidly evolving global LNG market with particular emphasis on the Atlantic basin will be necessary in order to deliver the innovative and creative commercial solutions necessary for success.

The Business Development Manager will be responsible for leading negotiations on a number of projects to ensure that the strategy is delivered. Projects will range from re-gasification projects in the UK or US, medium to long term LNG supply contracts, participation in liquefaction projects and negotiations with host governments or private companies to secure access to upstream equity.
