Job description

Want to work at the intersection of data, energy, technology and commercial strategy?

AI Connect are working with a leading business in the UK’s energy aggregation market that is looking for a Commercial Analyst to join their growing team in Edinburgh.

The business plays a key role in the transition to a more flexible, low-carbon electricity system, working with generators, battery storage and commercial energy users to optimise their assets and unlock new revenue opportunities.

What will you be doing?

You’ll sit within the Product function and work across Commercial, Data, Trading, Operations, Settlements, Product and Account Management.

Your work will include:

• Developing the metrics used to assess asset performance and commercial returns
• Building and maintaining internal and customer-facing reporting
• Translating complex contractual requirements into measurable data processes
• Supporting commercial settlements, controls and reconciliation
• Analysing asset availability, degradation, efficiency, cycling and performance
• Helping incorporate asset health and technical performance into optimisation tools
• Identifying future commercial opportunities for Energy Partners
• Turning data into clear, actionable commercial insight

What are they looking for?

Ideally, you’ll have 2+ years' experience in a commercial, analytical, financial or operational role.

Experience with Excel, Power BI, SQL or Python would be highly valuable, alongside strong commercial awareness and the ability to work with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Experience in energy, energy trading, battery storage, asset optimisation or flexibility markets would be a bonus, but isn't essential.

Why this role?

You’ll be joining a highly respected business at an exciting point in its growth, with the opportunity to work on genuinely interesting problems around energy flexibility, data and the transition to a low-carbon power system.
