We are seeking a commercially astute and analytically driven Pricing & Forecasting Manager with established experience in UK electricity and gas markets. In this high‑impact role you will lead a team of pricing analysts, develop and enhance forecasting and pricing models across supply and generation portfolios, and play a pivotal role in driving margin, reducing risk and strengthening our competitive edge.

• Lead and develop a team of pricing/forecasting analysts: set objectives, review outputs, build capability and champion best practice.
• Develop, maintain and automate both standard and bespoke pricing models and forecasting tools for half‑hourly (HH) and non‑half‑hourly (NHH) metered electricity consumers and generators.
• Own the forecasting and pricing process for all cost elements contributing to customer tariffs: commodity cost, distribution, transmission, metering, industry charges, regulatory levies, and green certificates.
• Interface with Trading and Commercial teams to ensure hedging strategies reflect customer forecast volumes, minimise portfolio volume/price risk and align with market activity.
• Partner with Sales and Third‑Party Intermediaries to deliver accurate, competitive pricing aligned with customer profiles, ensuring timely responses to support an efficient tendering process.
• Analyse portfolio profitability: deliver insights on cost/margin drivers, identify opportunities to optimise pricing, reduce cost exposure and enhance margin.
• Produce regular forecasting and pricing dashboards/reports: track forecast accuracy (e.g., MAPE, variance to actual), root‑cause analyse deviations and feed improvements into model enhancements.
• Work with Back Office and Billing teams to prepare data inputs and pricing outputs for monthly billing cycles, escalating data exceptions, ensuring corrective action and process robustness.
• Drive continuous improvement: identify automation opportunities, advances in modelling (e.g., use of Python/SQL, machine‑learning techniques), update forecasting frameworks and ensure data governance.
• Stay abreast of regulatory, industry and wholesale market developments (e.g., settlement changes, new levies, decarbonisation policies) and ensure their impact is factored into forecasts, pricing models and risk management.

• Minimum 3 years' experience in pricing, forecasting, trading or risk analysis within the UK gas or electricity supply/generation industry.
• Proven experience managing a small team and developing talent.
• Excellent numerical ability, strong analytical mindset and attention to detail; comfortable working under deadlines.
• Educated to degree level (preferably mathematics, economics or energy‑related).
• Advanced proficiency in modelling and data analytics: Excel (complex formulas, VBA/macros), Python and SQL; experience with data visualisation tools (e.g., Power BI).
• Comfortable working with large data sets, building databases, performing root‑cause fault analysis and creating dashboards to drive insight.
• Good commercial acumen: you understand trading, hedging, volume/price risk, customer segmentation, margin optimisation.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills: you can engage across functions (Trading, Commercial, Billing, Sales), explain complex technical models in business language and challenge assumptions where required.
• Knowledge of UK electricity/gas market frameworks, industry participants, settlement cycles (HH/NHH) and cost drivers (distribution, transmission, metering, renewables, regulatory).
• Eligibility to work in the UK.
