Job description

Hybrid (2 days per week in-office) Full-Time, Permanent Role with Benefits Confidential Energy & Utilities Client Position Overview Our VIP Client, an established energy company is seeking a Senior Energy Data Analyst (Natural Gas | Forecasting | Strategy) to join its enterprise risk and analytics team. This hybrid role is designed for a highly experienced data professional who brings both technical excellence and deep fluency in the wholesale natural gas market — someone who can draw meaning from complex datasets, identify value-creation opportunities, and influence strategic decisions with minimal ramp-up. This is not a foundational role, and onboarding will not include “Natural Gas 101.” Instead, you’ll be expected to arrive with a command of market structure, storage dynamics, tariff implications, and how commercial decisions intersect with operational data. You’ll work with imperfect, third-party data feeds (from pipelines, storage operators, market indices) and transform them into usable, strategic insight. Key Responsibilities • Own the development of models, reports, and scripts that support risk assessment, price and volumetric exposure, and storage valuation. • Clean and normalize raw data feeds from external vendors, ensuring high-integrity inputs for downstream forecasting, valuation, and optimization tools. • Apply contextual knowledge of market dynamics, including pipeline behavior, tariffs, and trading incentives, to evaluate commercial opportunities. • Build predictive analytics frameworks for weather, load, and pricing volatility. • Support arbitrage strategy development and operational decision-making through analytical rigor. • Deliver intuitive dashboards and visualizations that provide decision-makers with actionable insights. • Mentor junior analysts and act as a subject-matter expert across data infrastructure, modeling strategy, and gas market economics. What You Bring • A strong commercial and technical command of the natural gas value chain — particularly in wholesale, trading, or risk-oriented settings. • The ability to work independently, ask the right questions, and proactively identify what data is missing, misaligned, or misleading. • Comfort working with incomplete, messy, or vendor-aggregated datasets — and the judgment to reconcile them using experience and intuition. • Exceptional communication skills, with a track record of explaining complex analytical outcomes to stakeholders across the business. • Proven ability to prioritize what's material from a business perspective, not just what’s statistically interesting. Preferred Qualifications • Education: Bachelor’s in Data Science, Engineering, Finance, Economics, or a related field. Certifications like CAP, SDS, or MCSE in Data Management are advantageous. • Tools & Languages: Proficient in Python, SQL, DAX, PowerQuery, Excel; experience with Git/version control. Familiarity with Java or VB is a plus. • Data Engineering: Skilled in ETL pipeline design, database development (Azure, Oracle, MySQL), and advanced data cleaning and validation. • Energy Market Expertise: Must understand tariff structures, storage optimization, pipeline scheduling, and how these intersect with market drivers. • External Data Sources: Experience working with third-party vendors (e.g., S&P Global, ICE, CME, EIA, FERC, EBBs), and able to turn raw feeds into business-ready inputs. • Visualization & Reporting: Strong background in business intelligence tools and building visual narratives that tie data to decisions. Why This Role? You’ll be stepping into a high-visibility role that influences pricing, risk, and trading decisions across a major energy business. This is a seat at the strategy table, not just behind a dashboard. The team values speed, precision, and commercial fluency, and you’ll be working with leaders who expect — and empower — analysts to act as trusted advisors. This role offers full benefits, strong compensation, and the opportunity to make measurable impact every day. Equal Opportunity & Accessibility This employer values diversity and is committed to building an inclusive and supportive work environment. Accommodations are available throughout the hiring process upon request.
