**About the Firm**

CrossBoundary Energy (CBE) is the leading provider of clean, renewable, reliable, and affordable electricity directly to African businesses. According to World Bank data, access to reliable and affordable electricity is the most significant constraint on economic growth on the continent. CBE addresses this challenge by providing African corporates with fully financed renewable power. Through this approach, we are building a disruptive, distributed, renewable utility that can unlock sustainable growth in Africa.

We are already making rapid progress towards our vision. CBE is currently delivering a portfolio of over $200M of solar, wind, and storage projects for businesses across Africa. Our clients include Actis, Diageo, Heineken, Rio Tinto, Syrah Resources, Unilever, and other leading regional companies.

CrossBoundary Energy is recruiting a Project Development Director to lead commercial strategy in the planning and execution of energy solutions for energy clients in the mining sector globally. The Director will be responsible for translating financial and legal advice and inputs into the commercial structure of energy services contracts with mining companies, supplier agreements, and joint development agreements with developer partners where necessary. Our deals combine capital and expertise from around the world, and the Director will be adept at working across multiple jurisdictions with diverse stakeholders. The Director will be supported by specialist expertise from CBE’s internal Business Development, Engineering, Legal, Regulatory, ESG, and Supply Chain teams, reporting to the Head of Project Development.
