  • Ensuring adherence with the relevant Regulatory and Compliance requirements, especially for the Short Term gas forecasts. This aligns strongly with our license to operate requirements in the gas markets.
  • Liaising heavily with counterparties within Trading & Supply, Finance, Market Risk and the Retail Energy teams.
  • Driving Gas Forecasting Operational requirements into the forecasting platform or model developments across all participating entities
  • Contributing as a core member to the Commercial Services Leadership team

You will be entrusted to:

  • Lead a future team in the development and maintenance of the long-term and short-term demand forecasts in the Gas Energy Market and associated Environmental product markets for Commercial & Industrial (C&I), Small to Medium Enterprise (SME), and Retailer LFH (Mass Market) segments
  • Ensure all timely, relevant and accurate operational elements of the contractual loads from the customers are included in the forecasts and are in line with customers’ and business expectations.
  • Own all internal and external reporting and submissions processes (including the Emissions Liability reporting) and respond to ad-hoc requests from Trading for regulatory / compliance purposes.
  • Identify and support the implementation of ongoing process efficiency, digital and automation improvements within day to day operational systems as well as any future transformative changes, in particular in the forecasting platform developments.
