About the Position

The Lead Energy Market Analyst - SPP & WECC will work directly with prospective and existing clients to increase sales and deliver technical pre-sales work across the SPP and WECC footprints. Working side by side with Account Directors and Regional VP of Sales, the analyst identifies the customer use cases where PLEXOS, Aurora, and Adapt2 create measurable value, proves that value in demonstrations, proofs of concept and pilot studies built on the customer's own market, and helps shape the regional go-to-market strategy.

The analyst is the company's recognized subject matter expert on SPP and Western market design, resource adequacy, transmission planning and price formation. That expertise shows up three ways: in the room with customers, in published thought leadership that draws new prospects to Energy Exemplar, and in the feedback loop to Product that keeps the platforms ahead of market change.

This is a senior individual-contributor role with wide latitude. The analyst owns the technical narrative for SPP and WECC pursuits, mentors less experienced analysts on the team, and is accountable, with Sales, for pipeline progression and technical win rate in the region.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain energy market models with a focus on the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) and Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) regions, leveraging PLEXOS to analyze market dynamics, transmission constraints, generation dispatch, and regulatory developments while providing technical expertise and modeling solutions to prospective and existing customers.
• Translate customer business problems (resource adequacy filings, IRPs, RFP evaluation, interconnection economics, trading strategy, transmission justification) into modeling workflows and a clear commercial value story.
• Design and deliver tailored demonstrations, workshops, executive briefings and proofs of concept built in the customer's own market, converting them into new-logo and expansion opportunities.
• Own the technical content of proposals, RFP and RFI responses and statements of work for the region, coordinating input from Product, Services and Legal.
• Deepen existing accounts by identifying adjacent use cases, new user groups and cross-sell paths (PLEXOS to Aurora, planning to trading, simulation to AI Studio).
• Build, configure and validate PLEXOS and Aurora models for SPP and WECC: nodal and zonal topologies, generation and storage fleets, fuel and hydro assumptions, load and large-load forecasts, and market rules.
• Execute production cost, capacity expansion, resource adequacy and ELCC, LMP and congestion, storage valuation, transmission benefit and interconnection studies, and present results with commercial takeaways.
• Maintain the team's regional reference models and input libraries, benchmarked against published ISO, WECC and utility results, with documented workflows that Services can inherit.
• Showcase PLEXOS Intelligence capabilities (scenario automation, backtesting and calibration, results interpretation) on regional use cases.
• Identify and priori
