Job description

At Vattenfall, we don’t just “do energy”, we exist to help our customers power their lives in ever climate smarter ways. If you are looking for interesting challenges and the opportunity to be part of this change, then join our diverse and talented team and make a difference.

Our Business Area (BA) Markets is looking for the right person to fill the position as

Senior Market Analyst & Price Forecaster

for our office in Stockholm.

In line with our vision to consistently deliver the most accurate price forecasts for the Nordic physical and financial power markets, we are now looking to strengthen our Price Forecasting team. This comes in response to growing demands in a dynamic and rapidly evolving market—particularly following the introduction of Flow-Based Market Coupling and other structural changes.

As a member of the Forecasting & Customer Optimisation team, you will play a central role in staffing the shifts responsible for short-term price forecasting and preparing day-ahead bids for Vattenfall’s Nordic consumption portfolio. These short-term forecasts are a key input for financial trading decisions and for optimising Vattenfall’s asset portfolios—making this role critical to supporting Vattenfall’s strategy to lead the transition to a sustainable energy system. Our work enables the integration of renewable energy sources and underpins investments in fossil‑free power.

This position offers a unique blend of analytical and operational responsibilities. Your tasks will range from data analysis and model/tool development to operational work at the price forecasting desk. There, you will run forecasting models, present results, and explain the key market drivers to internal stakeholders.

You will work closely with production planners and traders—both to deepen the understanding of market fundamentals and to tailor our forecasts to their specific needs. The insights you gain from this collaboration and from hands‑on operational work will feed directly into improving our forecasting tools and processes.

In this role, you’ll collaborate with various teams across BA Markets and manage key operational interfaces both within Vattenfall and with external partners. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast‑paced environment and is eager to contribute to the energy transition.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone who brings:

• A relevant university degree and several years of hands‑on experience in the energy markets.
• An open, proactive, and positive attitude, with a strong drive to contribute and grow.
• The ability to build trust and collaborate effectively with a wide range of stakeholders.
• Solid programming and data analysis skills to support analytical and forecasting tasks.
• A performance‑oriented mindset, with experience working across international, regional, and local contexts.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to explain complex topics in a clear and structured way.
• Fluency in both Swedish and English, spoken and written.

Additional Information

We offer an interesting and challenging job within one of Europe’s leading energy companies and in a vital business area. You will be part of an innovative, dynamic and high performing team active in a rapidly changing market which provides quick feedback and reward.

We welcome your application in English, no later than 31st of October,2025. We kindly request that you do not send applications by any means other than via our website as we cannot guarantee that we will be able to process applications that are not made via our website.
