Future Power Market Manager

MCS Group is recruiting for two Future Power Market Managers to help shape how electricity markets evolve for a low-carbon future. These are high-impact leadership roles at the centre of strategic market programmes, influencing how energy is designed, delivered and traded across the all-island system.

You'll work with regulators, governments, industry partners and internal teams to design and deliver market solutions that support decarbonisation, system security and consumer value.

The role:

• Lead and deliver future electricity market initiatives

• Deliver high-quality analysis, modelling and insight to inform decisions
• Support integration of emerging technologies (e.g. offshore wind, storage, hydrogen)
• Manage complex programmes, ensuring delivery against milestones and targets
• Build strong relationships with stakeholders across government, regulators and industry
• Lead, mentor and develop high-performing teams

Essential Criteria:

• Relevant third-level qualification with typically 8+ years' experience in an analytical, commercial or project environment within the energy sector
• Proven experience leading teams, managing resources and delivering complex outcomes
• Strong understanding of power market design and operation
• Demonstrated ability to lead projects/programmes in a regulated environment
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving and critical-thinking skills
• Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills, with the ability to present complex information clearly
• Experience mentoring and developing others

Desirable:

• Experience with the Single Electricity Market (SEM) or European power systems
• Knowledge of transmission, balancing markets and regulatory frameworks
• Experience in market analysis, policy or project pipeline development
• Understanding of decarbonisation and renewable energy policy

Why Join?

• Play a key role in delivering a cleaner, more secure energy future
• Competitive salary, bonus, private medical and pension
• Hybrid working (3 days office / 2 days home)
• Generous leave, wellbeing benefits and family-friendly policies
• Career development and progression opportunities
• Inclusive, collaborative and forward-thinking culture
