Head of Modeling & Quantitative Analysis (m/f/d)

We are the leading network of urban works in Europe. We stand for independence and new ways. In the competition we offer our partners competence in production, trade and distribution. We are pooling activities and shaping energy markets. In this way, we encourage urban works to remain independent. Manager:in Modelling & Quantitative Analysis (m/w/d) We are looking for you for our Modeling & Quantitative Analysis department at the Aachen site. As a manager: in the department, you are responsible for the development, validation and productive operation of quantitative models and data-driven products with your team that guides you professionally and disciplinefully. The aim is the measurable optimization of energy-economic processes in the fields of energy trading, direct marketing, pricing / PPA as well as risk and portfolio modeling. The position is responsible for the model governance, the technical implementation (incl. cloud operation) and the team's ability by technical mentoring.

development and implementation of a quantum and AI roadmap (use-case priority according to business value, risk and feasibility); Ownership about model lifecycle and governance (further) development of quantitative models for trade and portfolio decisions (e.g. price forecasts, spreads, volatility); optimisation of trade decisions under uncertainty; ́Prognoses for production and revenue (e.g. wind / PV) incl. Quantification of uncertainty Development and maintenance of pricing and assessment models for structured products and PPAs Construction and development of market risk models (e.g. VaR / CVaR / ES, stress tests, back testing, limit framework) Technical responsibility for production-ready quantum services: data pipelines, model delivery, monitoring and operation; Cloud-native operation and scaling
