Shape the forecasts that power our trading decisions. Join us to turn wind, solar, consumption and price forecasts into measurable trading and risk outcomes across the Nordic power markets.

What you will do

Own the end-to-end quality of forecasts used by the Physical Trading Desk – wind, solar, consumption and production forecasts, and price forecasts for ancillary services, imbalance and spot markets

Define forecast-quality KPIs, monitor performance continuously and lead root-cause analysis when forecasts miss the mark

Develop and maintain ensemble methods that combine internal models and vendor forecasts to maximise accuracy and commercial value

Build and operationalize statistical and ML forecasting models together with Intraday/Quant, Physical Operations and IT, including monitoring and fallback logic for live systems

Manage relationships with external forecast and weather-data vendors, benchmark their performance and lead build-vs-buy decisions

Take part in the rolling day-ahead trading schedule, including weekends and public holidays, to stay close to how forecasts are used in live trading decisions

What you bring & who you are

A master's degree (or equivalent) in a highly quantitative field such as physics, mathematics/statistics, meteorology, engineering, data science or computer science

Experience in forecasting, quantitative analytics or data science – ideally within energy or power markets

Strong knowledge of statistical/ML forecasting methods, including time series analysis, probabilistic forecasting and ensemble/meta-forecasting

Programming skills in Python and SQL; experience with Git and Azure DevOps is an advantage

A commercial mindset – you connect forecast quality directly to trading outcomes and risk, and communicate technical concepts clearly to traders and senior management

Hands-on experience with wind and solar forecasting; prior exposure to the Vitec Aiolos forecasting suite is an advantage

Fluent in English; a Nordic language (Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish or Danish) is an advantage

Even if you don't meet every point, we'd love to hear from you – especially if you're a strong communicator who enjoys mentoring colleagues and building forecasting competence across a team
