Overview

We are designing the grid of the future! The Technical Business Development Strategist – Energy Market Analysis & Regulatory bridges electricity market, economic, regulatory, and technical expertise with business development to help EPE identify, shape, and pursue strategic opportunities across the North American energy industry. This is not a traditional sales role. The Strategist uses industry expertise and market intelligence to identify where regulatory, market, policy, and investment changes are creating client needs, determine where EPE can provide value, establish relationships with the right decision-makers, and develop those needs into qualified opportunities. Working closely with EPE’s Energy Market Analysis (EMA), Regulatory, and Business Development teams, this individual will help EPE proactively pursue the right clients, with the right services.
