• Provide actionable insights and market viewpoints to stakeholders, supporting both commercial objectives and grid reliability.

Required Background & Competencies:

• Minimum 5 years of experience in transmission planning or nodal power markets, including 2+ years with simulation tools like UPLAN, Promod, or similar.
• Deep understanding of US ISO market frameworks
• Knowledge of Microsoft Excel, including VBA; experience handling large datasets using database tools and custom-built algorithms.
• Strong analytical and strategic thinking skills with the ability to translate complex data into actionable insights.

• Degree in a relevant field such as Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Energy Systems, or Economics; certifications related to power systems or energy markets are a plus.
