About the role
Power is our largest input cost and the binding constraint on how fast we grow. As Energy Procurement Specialist, Nordics you own how we buy it: origination and negotiation of PPAs, the mix of fixed and floating volume across tenors, and the commercial position that sits behind our Finnish and Nordic capacity. This is a commercial, market facing role rather than a contract administration one. Your mandate is to buy power better than we would otherwise buy it, structure the portfolio so we are protected when the market moves against us and exposed when it moves for us, and stay close enough to the market to see both coming.
Your responsibilitiesOwn Verda's Nordic power position outright: what we have contracted, at what price, over what horizon, and what we do next.
Run PPAs end to end, from origination and counterparty selection through structuring, negotiation and close, and own the commercial relationship afterwards. You
