Manager, Quality Management at the heart of the Nordic Green Transition

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.

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:

• Thorough understanding of different quality roles and how their responsibilities intersect
• Knowledge of the energy sector is an advantage but not a prerequisite
• Broad conceptual knowledge and understanding of technologies across the entire stack, from infrastructure to the application layer
• Understanding of Quality assurance best practices and design principles
• Ability to recognize challenges early and proactively seek solutions
• Communicating effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders

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.
