Jobbeschreibung

What do we rely on at ENCAVIS? The sun. The wind. And on you.

Welcome to Encavis! Our world is all about the power of the sun, the wind and the more than 400 people across our group who are working together to shape the energy system of the future in order to ensure a sustainable energy supply for future generations.

ENCAVIS Management GmbH & Co. KG is the holding company of Elbe BidCo GmbH , one of Europe’s leading electricity producers from renewable energies. We operate a broadly diversified portfolio of over 330 onshore wind farms, ground‑mounted solar plants and battery storage facilities in 13 European countries with an installed capacity of more than 3.8 GW. And best of all, we are continuing to grow! Our subsidiaries, Stern Energy SpA , which operates throughout Europe as a specialist in technical services for photovoltaic systems, and Encavis Asset Management AG, which specialises in supporting institutional investors, complement our portfolio.

What does this mean for you? The opportunity to make a difference, to shape and change things. As part of a multinational team that enjoys helping to make the energy transition a success.

Encavis is building its daughter company Green Energy Supply (GES) into a modern power trading and supply unit that purchases electricity from solar and onshore wind parks and sells to the market and customers, while leveraging also the flexibility of the Encavis Battery Storage Fleet. Your mission is to shape and deliver the systems, processes, and partnerships that make GES reliable, agile, and scalable across European markets.

You will lead the design and delivery of an end‑to‑end operating setup so traders, risk, finance, and compliance can work from a single source of truth. You’ll start with our existing and pragmatic “lightway” trading stack before deciding with us on the next steps.

Your sunny outlook

• Set the target operating model for GES around a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) backbone and the Asset Ocean data & intelligence layer, ensuring fast execution and robust post‑trade controls.
• Deliver a “lightway” trading stack without an ETRM : practical deal capture / journaling, data flows, daily risk & P&L views, reconciliation, and scheduling / nomination via the VPP—with auditability and clear roles.
• Lead the ETRM evaluation and decision (build / buy / vendor), run proofs of concept, compare options, and define a staged migration plan from lightway to the target ETRM.
• Translate business needs into software requirements : specify data contracts with Asset Ocean (schemas, versioning), APIs / streaming, master data and contract parameters, and quality / latency SLAs that trading can rely on.
• Integrate algorithmic trading partners and in‑house models, with governance : monitoring, guardrails, kill‑switches, and fallback playbooks for safe automation.
• Orchestrate front‑to‑back processes (deal → nomination → risk / P&L → settlement), embedding maker / checker controls, segregation of duties, and regulatory reporting (e.g., REMIT / market communications).
• Own the product backlog and delivery cadence : prioritize outcomes, align stakeholders, and manage vendors and partners to measurable results.
• Establish operational excellence : service levels, runbooks, dashboards, and incident management that reduce toil and improve reliability as volumes grow.
• Champion security and compliance : access governance, audit trails, defensible change management, and data protection suited to a trading environment.
• Enable AI‑assisted forecasting / optimization where it adds value—controlled pilots, A / B testing, and clear success criteria.

Education & Background

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering, Energy / Electrical, Economics / Finance, Business , or Information / Data Systems ; equivalent practical experience in power trading or trading‑systems product roles is welcome.
• 5+ years in energy / power trading, product management, or front‑to‑back systems delivery or at least 3+ years owning market‑integrated processes (deal→nomination→risk / P&L→settlement) across teams.

Must‑haves

• Confidence defining API / streaming / data‑model requirements and data contracts—no coding required, but clear specification and governance.
• Track record in product ownership & delivery leadership : roadmaps, PoCs, vendor assessments, and stakeholder alignment.
• Familiarity with cloud‑native patterns (Azure preferred) and modern delivery from a product / process perspective.
• Power BI , basic SQL or Python for analysis / validation, reading API Docs to review interfaces.
• Proven ownership of trading or market‑integrated systems , delivering front‑to‑back processes in power or commodities.
• Experience with renewables power markets (day‑ahead / intraday), nominations / scheduling, and portfolio management.
• Security / compliance mindset for trading (auditability, SoD, logging / monitoring, regulated reporting such as REMIT).
• Clear, persuasive communication across trading, risk, finance, compliance, and engineering; fluent English.
