Why choose Eneco?

At Eneco, you’ll work on one of the biggest challenges of our time: accelerating the energy transition. Our ambition is to become climate neutral by 2035, with Energy Trading & Integration playing a critical role in realizing this.

In this role, you will operate at the heart of one of Europe’s most advanced trading environments, where digitalization, automation, and real-time decision-making drive performance. You will contribute to building a scalable Virtual Power Plant (VPP) platform and next-generation trading capabilities, directly impacting Eneco’s market position and value creation. This role combines strategy, trading operations, IT transformation, and leadership at scale, with clear societal impact

What you’ll do

You will be part of Eneco’s Trade department, operating in a dynamic trading environment and contributing directly to the delivery of Eneco’s strategic ambitions and the One Planet Plan.

As Head of Analytics & Realization, you are responsible for driving the realization of strategic change within Eneco Trade and for further developing data-driven capabilities across Trade Operations & IT. You ensure that new assets, products, and market developments are effectively and in a controlled way integrated into the Trade and Virtual Power Plant (VPP) landscape.

You own the end-to-end delivery of change, from onboarding new battery storage (BESS) and renewable assets to implementing regulatory and market-driven changes. You ensure initiatives are delivered on time and with the right quality, act as gatekeeper for operational readiness, and safeguard that operational requirements are embedded early in commercial negotiations.

Data analytics is a core pillar of this role. You lead the further development of a high-impact analytics and data science capability that translates complex operational and trading data into actionable insights. This includes building and scaling monitoring, reporting, and performance steering frameworks, developing dashboards together with Operations, and delivering analytical and optimisation models across a broad range of asset types.

You play a central role in connecting business and technology. You structure and prioritize demand from trading, commercial teams, asset management, and operations, translating this into clear deliverables for IT and development teams. You drive prioritization and balance short-term operational needs with longer-term strategic priorities, aligned with the operating model based on Value Chains and Tech.
