Are you eager to make a difference in the Green Transformation in the Nordics and in Europe, working towards a fully carbon neutral, sustainable energy system? Do you enjoy working in a diverse and international team balancing many stakeholders? Are you structured and organized? Then you may be just the person we are looking for.
We are looking for a Manager of our Quality Management team who likes to make a difference.
The energy sector in Europe is undergoing a dramatic transition towards a fully carbon neutral, sustainable energy system. The Nordic countries have set particularly stretched targets for the transition during this decade.
Nordic RCC A/S is the Nordic Regional Coordination Center and a significant contributor to the green transition. As the provider of regional power system capacity planning and security, Nordic RCC supports the national Transmission System Operators (TSOs) of Finland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. This is to ensure the efficient operation of the Nordic Power System with a high security of power supply at any time. As such, Nordic RCC plays a vital part of the green transition in the Nordics.
Nordic RCC – supporting security of supply and the Green Transition
Based in Copenhagen, Nordic RCC embodies a strong Nordic collaboration across the Nordics TSOs (Energinet, Statnett, Fingrid and Svenska Kraftnät) and other European Regional Coordination Centers. In this collaboration, we empower the energy market in the Nordics and in Europe, as well as assist the TSOs in maintaining a reliable power supply now and in the future.
Nordic RCC contributes to safe operation of the Nordic power system and to optimize the power market. A key aim of the services provided by Nordic RCC is to ensure transparency and to help the TSOs with operational planning. In doing so, we ensure continued security of supply with an increase of renewables in the energy system and become an essential driver of the Nordic Green Transformation and electrification in close collaboration with the Nordic TSOs.
Join Nordic RCC, a company determined to make a significant impact in the energy sector to provide for a secure and efficient transition to the green, sustainable energy system.
You will be part of a critical and exciting time, building the future of the company.
Key responsibilities:
Reporting to the CIO, and in close collaboration with the Quality Management Team and your business and IT colleagues, your responsibilities are:
Strategy & Governance
In this role, you will shape and maintain a coherent Quality Management approach and methodology that supports Nordic RCC’s overall IT and business objectives. You will ensure strong governance by defining and maturing quality and test management principles, embedding clear standards, roles, and ways of working across programs, projects, and products. As a key contributor in internal governance forums, you bring transparency, strategic insight, and a quality‑driven mindset - ensuring compliance with regulatory and security requirements while proactively advising leadership on risks, dependencies, and improvement opportunities. You act as a role model for collaboration and a strong quality culture across the organisation.
Planning & Execution
You will translate the Quality Management approach and methodology into clear plans, priorities, and deliverables, ensuring effective execution across test management and application quality activities. Working closely with all of IT, Service Development, and Service Operations, you secure consistent implementation of quality standards, templates, and processes throughout projects and product deliveries. You lead structured planning, onboarding, and capability development for team members and consultants, while supporting teams in test planning, execution, defect management, and readiness for go‑live. Through timely reporting, knowledge sharing, and proactive coordination you ensure that the team meets quality targets and contributes to stable and secure operational releases.
Measurement & Improvement
You will define and maintain clear KPIs for quality, test performance, and process maturity, ensuring a solid foundation for data‑driven decision‑making across IT and business services. By monitoring and analysing quality metrics and trends, you proactively drive corrective actions and continuous improvement of tools, methodologies, and quality processes. You facilitate structured lessons‑learned and retrospectives across programs and products, while benchmarking Nordic RCC’s practices against industry standards to ensure continued excellence. Through transparent reporting and targeted capability building, you strengthen the organisational quality culture and support high‑quality, secure, and reliable deliveries.
Key deliveries
You will ensure that the Quality Management team has the right competencies by continuously assessing needs, developing existing employees, and recruiting new colleagues or consultants where necessary. You delegate and prioritise work clearly, ensuring that all team members understand their responsibilities and are supported through structured onboarding, ongoing feedback, and targeted capability development. Through motivational leadership and active engagement, you foster a committed and high‑performing team that consistently contributes to departmental progress and delivers on its objectives. You also ensure systematic risk assessments in line with Nordic RCC guidelines, securing a reliable and well‑governed foundation for the organisation’s quality activities.
Your work responsibilities and scope of work will develop over time as Nordic RCC develops and as you make your influence count. You will work together with the CIO to structure the role, so it fits your profile and career development.
Structured, open minded and team oriented
On a personal level, you are open-minded, team oriented, take responsibility, and aim to build trust. You are structured and appreciate a fast-paced environment from time to time. You have a curious and open-minded approach to challenges with good human understanding, and you are able to navigate across different layers of abstraction, combining strategic thinking with low-level technical insights. You are proactive, analytic, positive and result oriented with a structured approach to your work and familiar with working in diverse cultures.
Ideally, you have 5 years or more of relevant work experience, with previous experience as a Test or Quality manager is considered a strong advantage. Master’s degree with a focus on software and quality assurance is preferred.
Nordic RCC is an international office, so fluency in spoken and written English is required as well as a motivation for working in an international environment.
Other key skills are:
At Nordic RCC, we live by the values of fellowship, curiosity, respect, and transparency - values defined by our employees that shape how we collaborate and innovate. If you see yourself thriving in such an environment, we’d love to hear from you.
The position is conditioned upon a satisfactory background check as well as a national security clearance, both of which will be facilitated by Nordic RCC. You can read more on security clearance here.

Nordic RCC context
Nordic RCC is established by EU regulation. Our main task is not to identify new profit optimizing services, but to continuously develop services according to legal requirements in a way which adds value to our service recipients (TSOs) and, in the end, to Nordic societies.
This makes the stakeholder environment that Nordic RCC works in complex and sometime political, but also highly motivating and engaging, as we are all generally focused on value creation for society in a time where electricity is in focus (security of supply, prices, and energy transition).
We are looking for a candidate who is motivated by this. The candidate is not expected to grasp the complexity and the content of the core business in advance. This understanding will develop over time, and depending on the wishes of the candidate, there will be opportunities for training in the energy systems, markets, etc.

An international and flexible working environment
You will join an organization of competent, diverse, and enthusiastic colleagues of 25 nationalities. You will also be working in virtual teams with expert colleagues from the Nordic TSOs, and potentially from all of Europe.
Your daily workplace will be in our newly furnished office premises in Copenhagen Towers, Ørestad. We are offering workplace flexibility to ensure a healthy work-life balance including the possibility of working from home some of your worktime.
