Function

 

Elia is facing one of its major challenge: powering the decade of electrification. The energy transition and the massive electrification will accelerate in the coming months and years. As part of its role as market facilitator, Elia is engaged in the development of a “Consumer Centric Market Design (CCMD)”. 

 

Increasing shares of sustainable energy resources and massive electrification generate a paradigm shift in the consumption behavior: demand will have to adapt to the available production. One of the key solutions is to foster the development of flexibility and, in particular, to unlock the flexibility located behind the head-meter of the consumer, while keeping this process seamless and beneficial for the consumer.  


The “Consumer Centric Market Design” requires the development of digital platforms and products (Exchange of Energy Blocks, TraXes,…) and other systems dedicated to the evolution to the Real-Time Price.
In this context, Elia is looking for Product Lead Energy Solutions who will manage and supervise a product line (composed of 3 to 5 products) and develop, formulate, and communicate a coherent vision, roadmap and budget in order to ensure alignment between the different products and create long term value for our customers.
