Location: on-site, Bucharest, Romania

Main Purpose of the Job: The role owns the operational activities supporting the company’s electricity trading and supply business, translating commercial agreements and trading activity into accurate, timely execution. It covers the full post-trade lifecycle – contract administration, transaction validation, settlement, invoicing, reporting, and operational controls – across market access and balancing services, electricity supply, bilateral and OTC transactions, spot-market activity, and BESS optimization. The person in this role becomes a trusted operational partner to Trading, Supply, Finance, and Asset Management.

Job Profile:

• Manage the operational lifecycle of electricity trading and supply contracts, ensuring commercial terms are correctly reflected in day-to-day processes.
• Register, verify, and maintain contracts, transactions, and relevant operational data in internal systems and databases.
• Coordinate and reconcile traded, nominated, delivered, and metered volumes across supply, DAM, IDM, OTC, and balancing activities.
• Manage the end-to-end settlement and invoicing process for electricity trading, supply, and BESS optimization.
• Validate volumes, prices, fees, and other settlement components before invoices are issued, approved, or paid.
• Investigate and resolve discrepancies relating to trades, metering, settlements, invoices, and payments.
• Monitor payment status and support cash collection, credit control, collateral monitoring, and liquidity planning.
• Maintain the reporting calendar and ensure regulatory, market, operational, and internal reports are accurate and submitted on time.
• Collect, validate, and consolidate data from internal systems, market platforms, counterparties, and other sources.
• Prepare operational reports and analyses to support commercial and management decision-making.
• Monitor data quality, identify inconsistencies, and follow issues through to resolution.
• Support month-end closing, reconciliations, audits, and Finance reporting requirements.
• Maintain complete and accurate records of contracts, invoices, confirmations, reports, and operational correspondence.
• Collaborate closely with Origination, Trading, Strategy, Finance, and Asset Management to coordinate and resolve day-to-day operational matters.
• Act as an operational point of contact for counterparties and other external stakeholders for the Romanian Commercial Team, when required.
• Contribute to the development of robust controls and the continuous improvement, standardization, and scalability of internal processes.

Candidate Profile:

• Previous experience in an energy back-office, trading operations, settlements, invoicing, commercial administration, or reporting role.
• Strong Excel skills and confidence working with complex data from multiple sources.
• Good understanding of operational controls, reconciliations, and data validation.
• Experience with ETRM systems, market platforms, or energy-sector reporting tools is an advantage.
• Knowledge of the Romanian electricity market (trading, supply, balancing, settlement, or regulatory reporting) is a strong advantage, though not essential with the right operational experience and motivation to learn.
• Ability to interpret contractual and commercial terms and translate them into operational processes.
• Excellent organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple reporting and settlement deadlines.
• Analytical and structured approach to identifying and resolving discrepancies.
• Proactive mindset and willingness to take ownership rather than simply execute assigned tasks.
• Genuine interest in understanding the commercial activities behind the operational processes.
• Good communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with different teams and external stakeholders.
• Fluency in Romanian and a good working command of English.

Benefits:

• Be part of a growing, international company with the opportunity to make an impact from day one.
• Collaborative team environment across European markets.
• Annual performance-based bonus.
• Competitive salary.
• Company events (Christmas and Summer parties).
