  • Guide portfolio positioning, optimisation and hedging strategies across power, gas and carbon markets, balancing commercial opportunities with robust governance, responsible risk management and a steadfast commitment to safety.
  • Build strong, collaborative partnerships across Energy Markets and SSE's Business Units, bringing people together around shared goals and enabling confident, well-informed decision-making.
  • Transform complex market and portfolio insights into clear, accessible recommendations that support senior leaders in making thoughtful and sustainable decisions for the business.
  • Mentor, coach and develop a high-performing team, encouraging diverse perspectives, innovation and personal growth whilst creating opportunities for others to succeed.

You Have


  • Significant experience within energy markets, commodity trading, portfolio management, optimisation or market risk, coupled with the ability to view challenges through both a commercial and strategic lens.
  • Exceptional analytical skills and a naturally curious mindset, using data, modelling and insight to support safe, responsible and value-driven decision-making.
  • A talent for building trusted relationships and bringing people together, creating alignment and inspiring collaboration across a wide range of stakeholders.
  • An empowering leadership style, with a passion for developing others, creating inclusive environments and helping individuals realise their full potential.
  • Strong communication and influencing skills, with the confidence and empathy to engage senior stakeholders, navigate complexity and advocate for the best outcomes for people, performance and the wider business.
