expertise in usage data, rate structures, and forecasting methodology. We're seeking a seasoned subject-matter expert who can sharpen our analytical rigor and raise the bar for how the broader team approaches forecasting. If you thrive in a data-driven setting and have a passion for getting the numbers right, this is the role for you. While strong modeling skills are essential, be prepared to go beyond running the models: you'll be a go-to resource whose judgment guides and develops the team.
Core Responsibilities Bring deep fluency in utility rate structures, tariffs, interval data, and commodity pricing to catch what less experienced analysts miss Audit and improve the data pipeline feeding the forecasts, including usage data, tariff changes, and market inputs Own and improve the methodology behind client energy budgets and forecasts. That means tightening the assumptions, variance drivers, and modeling approach, not just producing the numbers. Diagnose why past forecasts were off and build in corrections.
This is a feedback-loop role, not a one-and-done reporting role Act as the go-to expert that other analysts and the deal team turn to for forecasting and budgeting edge cases Work with the ABEL and the decision-engine team to check model outputs against how utilities actually behave and find where the model's assumptions break down Mentor junior analysts on forecasting rigor and rate-structure nuance Required Qualifications 5+ years of hands-on experience analyzing utility usage, tariffs, and commodity pricing in a brokerage, trading, consulting, or utility environment A track record of
improving forecast accuracy. You should be able to explain how you've tightened forecasts over time, not just that you've built them Advanced Excel and modeling skills, and comfort owning complex, high-stakes models Strong, well-supported opinions.
You push back when something doesn't look right instead of deferring to the existing process Strongly Preferred Qualifications Experience in deregulated energy markets specifically, not just utilities broadly A forecasting miss you can talk through openly, including what you learned from it SQL and BI tool fluency (Looker, Power BI, Tableau) so you can work directly with the underlying data instead of relying on pre-built reports Working knowledge of machine learning concepts and modeling techniques, with the ability to apply them to improve forecast accuracy Experience mining and
