- Manage nominations relating to interconnector transmission rights, including monitoring capacity auction results, transfers and the impact of curtailments.
- Support the reconciliation of trading activity and assist with queries relating to imbalance, settlement and other operational matters.
- Produce ad hoc analysis and operational reporting, identifying opportunities to improve processes, controls and efficiency.
- Contribute to change initiatives arising from regulatory or market developments and support the onboarding of new markets where required.
- Provide operational scheduling support across European gas positions, including nominations, confirmations and the investigation and resolution of exceptions.
