Job description

Trajectory Energy Partners, a solar energy and energy storage development company, is seeking a Data & Systems Senior Analyst to own and optimize our internal data infrastructure, software platforms, and systems operations. This is a hands‑on role for someone who thrives on making information accurate, accessible, and actionable.

Trajectory works with communities across the Midwest and Mid‑Atlantic to develop distributed solar, utility‑scale solar, and energy storage projects. More information can be found at www.trajectoryenergy.com.

Specific responsibilities include:

Systems & Software Administration

• Serve as the primary administrator for core company platforms including Airtable, Box, ArcGIS, etc.
• Manage user access, permissions, integrations, and configurations across software tools.
• Identify redundancies or gaps in the current software stack and recommend improvements or consolidations.
• Maintain documentation for software systems: how they're structured, how data flows between them, and how to use them.
• Evaluate and onboard new tools as the company's needs evolve – including leading implementation, data migration, and integration with existing systems – and lead team training on new rollouts.
• Implement and maintain data security protocols; formulate and implement data backup strategy.

Workflow Optimization & Automation

• Identify manual, repetitive data or administrative tasks across the company and build automations or streamlined workflows to replace them.
• Use ArcGIS to maintain and improve geospatial databases of project sites, target areas, and priority regions — keeping them current and easy to query.
• Support the development team with data needs related to project due diligence, land tracking, permit preparation, and interconnection research.
• Assist in the creation of standardized templates and processes for recurring tasks such as landowner outreach tracking, permit status updates, and site assessment summaries.
• Evaluate, recommend, and implement emerging technologies, including AI-enabled tools, to improve operational efficiency and data accessibility.

Data Management & Quality Control

• Own the integrity of company data across key software platforms — ensuring records are accurate, complete, consistent, and up to date.
• Build and enforce data standards, naming conventions, and entry protocols across teams.
• Perform regular data audits to identify gaps, duplicates, outdated records, and inconsistencies; lead cleanup and remediation efforts.
• Develop and maintain dashboards and reports that give leadership a clear, real‑time picture of project pipeline, site inventory, and operational status.
• Serve as the go‑to resource for data questions.

Experience and Background:

• Strong background in data management, database administration, or systems operations
• Graduate of Bachelor’s Degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field
• You care deeply about data quality and know how to maintain it at scale
• Proficiency with Airtable or similar CRM/database platforms; experience administering these tools (not just using them) is a plus
• Proficient with ArcGIS and/or Google Earth for geospatial data management.
• Advanced skills in GoogleSuite, Microsoft 365 (Excel, SharePoint, Teams) and cloud-based document management tools such as Box.
• Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail - you notice when data doesn't add up and you do something about it.
• Ability to manage high volumes of information across multiple projects simultaneously without things slipping through the cracks.
• Clear communicator who can explain data structures and systems to non-technical teammates.
• Experience in project management or operations preferred.
• Knowledge of energy or renewable energy development is preferred.

Benefits at Trajectory

• Health, dental, and vision insurance contributions
• Employee Equity Plan
• Professional Development Stipend
