Do you want to help companies turn ambitious ideas into well-structured, funded innovation projects? 

As a Senior Consultant at Spinverse, you combine your understanding of energy technology with client advisory, business development and public funding expertise. You help customers shape project concepts, bring the right partners together and prepare competitive funding applications that move the energy transition forward.

Who we are looking for 

You bring technical credibility in the energy sector together with the ability to open business opportunities, advise customers and lead complex initiatives. We hope you will bring with you: 

• Around 10+ years of experience in the energy sector, industrial transformation or technology-driven industries, preferably including consulting experience. 
• A proven track record in project concept development, consortium building and funding applications, from first idea to grant award, in EU and national programmes such as Horizon Europe, the Innovation Fund, Industriklivet, Klimatklivet, Business Finland or Vinnova. 
• Thorough understanding of energy systems, renewable energy, electrification, hydrogen / Power-to-X and industrial decarbonisation, together with good knowledge of European and Nordic funding programmes, energy policy and innovation ecosystems. 
• Strong business development, strategic advisory, sales and customer relationship management skills, and good written and spoken Swedish and English. 
• A collaborative and commercially minded approach: you build relationships easily, take initiative and work in a strategic, pragmatic and result-oriented way.
