Overview
Country Head – Philippines Jobs in National Capital Region, Philippines at Formative
Title: Country Head – Philippines
Company: Formative
Location: National Capital Region, Philippines
Country Head – Philippines | Renewables Platform
Formative Search is partnering with a newly established clean energy platform, backed by a proven infrastructure investor, to hire a Country Head for the Philippines.
This is a rare ground-floor opportunity and you'd be the first senior hire in-market, responsible for building the business from the ground up.
The Role
You'll own the Philippines P&L and lead everything from project development and government relations to deal execution and team building. This isn't a caretaker role. The platform is actively deploying capital and needs someone who can move fast, build trust with regulators and offtakers, and close.
What You'll Do
- Set and execute country strategy aligned with the platform's regional ambitions
- Drive BD, originate, structure, and close solar and/or wind projects
- Own stakeholder relationships: government agencies, IPP partners, financiers, clients
- Oversee project development through to operations on time, and on budget
- Manage P&L, financial reporting, and compliance with local regulations
- Represent the platform externally and build its profile in the market
What We're Looking For
- 15+ years in energy, with a strong renewables track record
- Demonstrable experience leading large-scale solar and/or wind projects in Southeast Asia
- Deep Philippines market knowledge with regulatory landscape, key players, deal flow
- A builder: entrepreneurial, commercially sharp, and comfortable with ambiguity
- Strong enough relationships in-market to hit the ground running
A degree in Engineering, Business, or a related field is expected, and an MBA is a plus, but ultimately your track record matters more.
