About your team:  

We’re the pride of Ireland. Bord Gáis Energy have been powering the nation’s homes and businesses for almost 40 years. But now, we’re so much more than just gas and electric. Through our unique combination of household heroes and energy assets, we’re at the heart of the energy transition in Ireland, strengthening the country’s energy security and helping customers get ready for a net zero future.

As a Pricing and Forecasting Specialist, you will be responsible for evaluating all relevant costs and risks associated with serving gas or electricity customers. Your role will involve issuing customer-specific quotations and mass market tariffs in a timely manner, supporting the sales teams in executing their market strategies.

If you are an enthusiastic and energetic problem-solver with excellent analytical skills, this could be the opportunity for you!

Your key responsibilities will include preparing transparent custom pricing offers for gas and electricity reflecting the costs and risks, developing cost-reflective tariffs and support their transfer onto billing systems, generate detailed reports on costs, revenue, and margins for actionable leadership insights, and update and validate demand forecasts for gas and electricity. Acting as a control point in quotation and forecasting processes, you’ll ensure necessary authorizations are in place. You’ll contribute to hedging strategies for risk management and enhancing profitability, perform ad hoc analyses for strategic decision-making and identify growth opportunities within customer segments. You will be continuously improving reporting tools and dashboards for data-driven decision making. Additionally, you’ll implement changes required by market developments or regulatory shifts and lead and participate in projects supporting business objectives including cross-functional initiatives and process enhancements. You will become a subject-matter expert on pricing and market-related topics!
