Doing that for every long running job is cumbersome.

Making that configurable on the system(d) level as David suggests,
would be an option.
Either via a global on/off switch which disables the power management
options completely or more fine-grained, like e.g.
ActionSleepKey=ignore|sleep|hibernate|poweroff;
ActionLidClose=ignore|sleep|hibernate|poweroff;
...
