Communities are at the heart of what we do. As the UK’s first community owned asset manager, we

and with care. We have over 75MW of renewable generating capacity under management,
specialising in both ground mount and rooftop mounted community-owned solar sites. Our focus is
on putting communities first, whilst still building the business case for community owned
renewable energy projects in the UK:
Building and providing community engagement
Supporting local access to renewable energy projects

Our team is highly collaborative, in and outside the office, working closely together to create
impactful, deliverable solutions. Pub lunches, dog friendly days, quarterly socials and other
events are just part of our work culture. We are currently working remotely due to the
coronavirus pandemic and offer full home office support to the team. We encourage a flexible
working environment; learning and development opportunities for all employees is a critical
element of the way we work.
The role
We offer an exciting and impactful role across all areas of our business. As a Client Manager, you will have a close relationship with all your clients and specialise in their
