• Research, interpret, and maintain utility tariff data, translating complex rate structures into scalable analytical models and operational systems.
• Build and enhance models that quantify energy costs at a granular session level, including demand charges, energy charges, and other tariff-based cost drivers.
• Develop methodologies and models that incorporate wholesale energy market dynamics, including hourly pricing, critical event pricing, and nodal market signals.
• Design predictive models that estimate marginal utility costs and collaborate with energy services and engineering teams to deploy these insights into real-time operational applications.
• Partner with pricing, energy services, and network P&L management teams to develop recurring reporting and ad hoc analyses on network economics and profitability.
• Translate analytical findings into clear recommendations for business, operational, and strategic decision-making.
• Collaborate across functions to improve data quality, analytical capabilities, and operational performance.

What We're Looking For

• Deep knowledge of commercial and industrial utility rate structures, including demand charges, time-of-use rates, and rate optimization.
• Experience analyzing wholesale electricity markets and hourly energy price signals.
• Strong quantitative and analytical skills with demonstrated ability to transform complex datasets into actionable insights.
• Advanced proficiency in Python, SQL, and Excel.
• Experience building scalable and repeatable analytical models and workflows.
• Strong understanding of statistical analysis, forecasting, and econometric techniques.
