Managing consultant

About the organization

COMCAM is a fast-growing, independent Energy Portfolio Management (EPM) company that helps organizations master their energy strategy in a rapidly changing world. From offices in the Netherlands (Middelburg and Rotterdam) and across Europe — including Belgium, Germany, the UK and the Czech Republic — COMCAM supports clients in developing integrated solutions for energy procurement, trading, flexibility and sustainability. Operating entirely independently from energy suppliers, COMCAM combines market intelligence, technology, and consultancy to help businesses navigate energy risk, optimize their portfolios, and move towards a more sustainable and resilient energy future. The company’s entrepreneurial mindset, flat structure, and collaborative culture have positioned it as a trusted partner for a diverse range of clients — from industrial producers to large property portfolios and mobility players.

Phase of the organization

COMCAM is in an exciting scale-up phase. Having built a strong foundation in Energy Portfolio Management, the company is now expanding into strategic consulting and advisory services. This new business line will translate COMCAM’s proven energy knowledge into structured, paid advisory work that adds measurable value to clients.

The ambition is clear: to build a premium consultancy practice that complements COMCAM’s analytical and trading expertise, delivering advisory services around energy risk, flexibility, grid congestion, and sustainability. The organization is ready to move from pure operational excellence to strategic influence — and this role will be pivotal in making that happen.

About the role

The Lead Consultant will be the architect and driving force behind COMCAM’s new consultancy unit. Working closely with the Chief Revenue Officer, this person will design, launch, and lead the consulting practice from the ground up.

This role combines strategic vision and hands‑on execution: developing the consulting proposition and pricing, building a team, engaging with key clients but also with new leads. Hereby ensuring that COMCAM’s deep energy expertise translates into tangible business outcomes. It is a unique opportunity to build something new within a company that already has credibility, market access, and momentum.

The ideal candidate is someone who has an understanding of the energy market and has experience in developing or advising on Closed Distribution Systems (CDS) or private grid infrastructure. He or she has sound, up to date knowledge of energy regulations, brings both consulting and commercial acumen — someone who enjoys operating in a dynamic environment, thrives on creating structure, and is motivated by the opportunity to shape the future of energy advisory in Europe.

Key Responsibilities

In this role, you will be responsible for establishing and growing COMCAM’s consulting practice — balancing strategic development with operational delivery.

You will:

• Build and lead the new consultancy unit, defining its structure, processes, and commercial model.
• Develop and deliver client‑facing advisory projects on energy risk, flexibility optimization, grid congestion, and sustainability.
• Work closely with internal experts to transform technical insights into strategic recommendations.
• Design and implement scalable engagement models (retainer, time & materials, fixed fee, value‑based).
• Recruit, mentor, and develop consultants as the team grows.
• Partner with business development, portfolio, and trading leaders to align consulting output with revenue goals.
• Represent COMCAM in the market — contributing to thought leadership, events, and client engagement.

Ultimately, your success will be measured by your ability to establish a consulting practice that is both commercially successful and strategically influential.

Profile

You bring a strong combination of consulting experience and energy market and regulatory knowledge. You have previously built or scaled consulting teams, ideally in a start‑up or scale‑up context, and understand how to create value in both structured and entrepreneurial environments.

A background in the energy sector, sustainability, or adjacent industries such as mobility, real estate or manufacturing will help you quickly connect with COMCAM’s clients. Experience with engagement models (retainer, T&M, fixed fee, value‑based) and a strong commercial mindset are essential.

You are fluent in English and Dutch, and proficiency in German will be considered a strong advantage given the company’s international growth plans.

Skills & competencies

Success in this role requires a balance between leadership, commercial drive, and subject‑matter credibility.

You are:

• A builder – capable of creating structure and direction from a blank slate.
• Entrepreneurial – comfortable in fast‑changing, high‑visibility environments.
• Commercially minded – able to turn energy knowledge into profitable services.
• Analytical and strategic – understanding complex market dynamics and translating them into actionable insights.
• Collaborative – working effectively across disciplines and geographies.
• Resilient and disciplined – able to handle stakeholder pressure and deliver results under scrutiny.
• A strong communicator – capable of telling the story behind the numbers and inspiring both clients and teams.

Above all, you share COMCAM’s belief in the power of energy transformation — and you want to make an impact on how companies navigate the next generation of energy challenges.
