International Affairs Manager in the Heart of the Green Transition

Drive Nordic RCC’s international agenda and shape the collaboration between Nordic RCC and European stakeholders.

Do you enjoy navigating complex stakeholder landscapes, preparing decision‑critical materials, and turning regulatory developments into actionable insights?

In this role, you will be building Nordic RCC positions on evolving European topics, representing us in steering groups and workstreams, and ensuring internal experts are aligned behind clear, well‑argued recommendations. You will scan the horizon for trends, translate complexity into sharp management material, and help ensure Nordic RCC focuses on what matters next.

As our new International Affairs Manager, you will play a central role in coordinating Nordic RCC’s contributions to European working structures. You will ensure we are well‑prepared for meetings, that the right people are aligned in advance, and that outputs are captured and followed through.

You will work closely with colleagues across the company (Service Development, Operations, Data & Analytics, Legal, Finance, Regulatory Affairs) and external TSO experts. The job requires strong coordination skills, strategic understanding, and the ability to distill complexity into clear messages.
