Market Analyst, Research (ERCOT)

Modo Energy•New York, NY

3h•$110,000 - $170,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Developers, traders, investors and utilities read Modo's research to understand what happened in the market and why. This role writes it. The work runs from monthly benchmark articles and market explainers through to the outlook pieces clients plan around. You will own the coverage of one or more US markets, watching them closely enough to notice when something changes, then explaining it before anyone else does. Lead times are short. A good piece this week beats a perfect one next month.

Requirements

Degree in engineering, economics, maths, or a related field
2+ years analysing power markets, in research, consulting, trading, or development
You have written analysis that someone outside your team read and used
You know how at least one US power market clears energy and ancillary services
You can pull and analyse your own data in SQL and Python
You can combine data and findings from several sources into one coherent argument
You write clearly, and you take editing well

Nice To Haves

Experience covering battery storage revenues or renewable build-out
Experience presenting to clients or at industry events
A public body of written work — articles, a newsletter, or a research blog

Responsibilities

Publish research. Write the benchmark articles, explainers and notes for the markets you cover.
Watch your markets. Follow prices, policy and asset behaviour closely enough to spot what matters early.
Do your own analysis. Pull the data, run the numbers, and build the charts that carry the argument.
Answer for your work. Stand behind what you publish with clients, on calls, and in public.
Work with other teams: Modeling - tell them what the market is doing and where the models do not yet reflect it. Advisory - share the market read behind client work, and bring back the questions clients are asking. Revenue - join technical sales and post-sales calls where clients want the analyst, not the pitch.
