Commercial Asset Manager (contract)

Today's most tomorrow company.
We built the world’s most powerful battery, the 850MW Waratah Super Battery, and we’re continuing to grow our portfolio and the team behind it. We’re looking for a Commercial Asset Manager to provide commercial and operational oversight across our growing BESS portfolio. Reporting to the Senior Manager, Asset Management, this is a hybrid role based in our Melbourne office.
We're leading the energy transition towards a better, brighter tomorrow. The work you will do makes a real and very tangible impact on the future of the planet and its people. We're 200 people around the world with 40 GWh of projects moving through development across Australia, Japan, the US and Germany.
Akaysha build, own, and operate our assets. We don't hand a project to someone else once it's approved. The people who design a battery site are the same people who help build it, optimise it and solve the challenges that come with operating it every day.
What you’ll do
Oversee the commercial and operational performance of BESS assets across multiple sites.
Support projects from development through to operations, ensuring operational requirements are considered early.
Manage operational contracts, budgets, suppliers and commercial obligations.
Coordinate operational readiness as new assets transition from construction into operations.
Partner with internal and external stakeholders to manage risk, compliance and asset performance.
Lead operational reporting and support regulatory requirements, including AEMO, NGER and RET.
Improve systems and processes that support a growing global asset portfolio.
What you’ll bring
Experience in commercial, operational or asset management within energy or infrastructure.
Strong contract management, negotiation and commercial skills.
Experience supporting assets through operational readiness and handover.
Strong stakeholder management across technical and commercial teams.
Experience with asset management and reporting systems such as CMMS, APM or DMS.
An understanding of energy market, regulatory and compliance requirements.
Why you’ll love working here
Flexibility first: we're hybrid by design, averaging 60/40 office and home split, and real trust to flex that mix when life calls for it.
Room to look after yourself: $1,500 a year for your wellbeing, plus $2,000 and two extra days off for your own development.
Genuinely generous parental leave: because family isn’t something you fit around a job
A stake in what we build: on top of your salary and twice-yearly bonus, permanent team members also share in the value we create through our Long Term Incentive Plan.
Lead the energy transition with us. Apply now.
We believe diverse teams build better solutions for the planet and its people. We’re committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels respected, supported, and able to do their best work, no matter their background, identity, or lived experience.
