The European Commission is recruiting an Executive Director (AD 14) for the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER)

With a staff of around 50 and an annual budget estimated at €7 million, ACER has been established as a regulatory agency (Regulation (EC) No 713/2009 of 13 July 2009) and is expected to be fully operational with effect from mid-2011. The provisional headquarters of ACER will be in Brussels.

ACER will be a key player in liberalisation of the EU’s electricity and natural gas markets. Its Director will play a central role in setting up and operating ACER and in establishing and managing its administrative, operational and financial structures. The Director will be ACER’s legal representative and public face.

These tasks require the capacity to set up a new body, professional experience of at least 15 years (including a minimum of 5 years’ management experience), the ability to lead and motivate a multicultural and multilingual team, plus excellent communication and negotiating skills. A thorough knowledge of written and spoken English is essential. A second Community language is also required. The post is open to nationals from the Member States of the European Union only.

A full job description, together with details of the selection criteria and application procedure, are available in all the European Communities’ official languages in Official Journal C 234 A of 29 September 2009 or on the EUROPA website:
